Looking for some others to ride the NC mountains with. Seems I am always riding alone.
Anyone up for day trip or 2?

Well it would take me that long to get there from here, 15 miles from canada in northern ny. Like the idea. :)

Do you have to adjust your air mix for the mountains? Just wondering, I live in flat central IN.

Actually, my '03 stock setup never backfired until I went to the mountains in April. When I came back to sea-level (Norfolk, Va.)- back to no backfire. Of course now after switching to Sporty muff, with I'm sure a not 100% airtight pipe seal, and white spacer mod......Decel backfire. I actually feel like I'm riding a a true Savage now.

I have the sporty muff on with no leaks -- it is quiet and does not backfire or chuff unless I get on the open road and get it really hot.

Taking an exit ramp from full speed makes the neatest sound as air slides back into the muffler creating a long series of mini-chuffs in time with the engine RPM.

The sound reminds me of a beagle snuffling while he scents something.
