Title: this bike is LOUD!
Post by motorcycle MOM on 02/18/08 at 21:51:54

Hi Everyone (new here),
I just bought a '96 LS650, I'm not sure what kind of pipes it has on it but boy is it loud! I know that may be desirable to some, but I would like to quiet it down a bit. What are my cheapest and easiest alternatives?

need to know where your starting from - some think a jardine is loud others not so much - but really the H.D SE2 with the o-ring baffle taken out is pretty dang loud in anyones book -

do you have a picture perhaps we could help set a base for what is loud to you

I went down to the local Harley shop and bought a muffler from an older Sportster. It bolted right on to the stock mount and sounds just like the original stock muffler. I paid $20.00 for it. They have all kinds of them left over from people making mods to their pipe's. :)

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the feedback!!!! The pipe says Jardine on it. It is really loud and gets super hot! I wouldn't mind trading it for a stock pipe but it isn't in the best condition esthetically, its kinds of discolored.
Anyway, I think I will check out the local Harley place for a used pipe as was suggested.
Thanks again!

Put it up on the marketplace, im sure more than just cory and robertomoe would be willing to trade their stock for your jardine, even if its a bit funky lookin.

Yup, and that is why I love mine. Now if it would just break in and get that perfectly loud sound.   Hutch
