WOW! I see someone likes PIPE.
As for me and my Savage, which has been modified a bit, we like to cruise in the 75-85 mph range when on the interstate. I live out away from the hustle and bustle the city, but not too far from an interstate, so a lot of my riding is on the interstate. When I am in the mood for really relaxed riding I drop back to the 60-65 range. I have been accused of being a bit of a hot-rodder...but hey...it's fun.

Dang, that thing looks knarly. Almost like an Exile bike.

I'd seen it before but never really FOCUSED on it.

If that was mine I think I'd paint the side panel to match the frame, or at least maybe a dark charcoal to get rid of that visual trapezoid. Or maybe take it off and just go nekkid.

A peak torque pipe should be 63.5 inchs and a peak power pipe is 47 inchs. The raask looks like a peak power pipe (when used without the baffle),has anyone got one they could measure, thanks. Clive W
