Made John look to see if I had started spamming.

Made an MP3 of my dyna muff rumble. If you don't have a subwoofer, you really don't get the effect. On my laptop, it sounds kind of "tinny"

You almost got booted then didn't ya. Just kidding. She sounds great.

I must say that your recording is very representitive of how my Dyna muffler sounds on my old '87. I left all the baffles in unaltered and TIG welded it directly onto the header pipe.

I'm curious what gear you used to record your mp3 with?
Here's what I listened to it on:



The studio monitors give me a really clear and clean playback of what is actually recorded. The big black 150 watt keyboard amp with a 15" and 4"x10" horn adds some thump and sizzle. 8)

As for the sound of the Dyna muff... While much better than the puffy sound of the stock can, it still has a 'braaack' sound that I'm not really happy with. I haven't yet heard the shorter Sprortster muff on the '99 I just bought. Curious to hear what it sounds like. I suspect that whichever bike ends up with the 'chopper' parts on it will also end up with the really loud turnout I have laying around. When I tried it before, I just couldn't imagine having a pipe that loud ALL the time. But if I'm gonna have two bikes; having the bad boy chopper be LOUD will be cool!  8)

I figured you were going to say something like that. "Low tech" maybe, by today's standards. It just astounds me at the recording quality of the cheap electret microphones and digital gear, like the sound card built into a laptop nowadays.

I recall back when it would have taken me an expensive reel to reel recorder and very costly microphone(s) to come close to the sound quality of what we now take for granted as cheap and "low tech." Cripes, I'm barely over 50, and moving technology is making me feel old.

 Guess what Jim. I have the exact same bike with out sidecar. It is officialy called the 441 Shootingstar by BSA. In 1968 BSA took the 250 Starfire frame and shoved the 441 Victor motor in it and renamed it the Shooting Star. Not to be confused with the BSA Shooting Star 500cc twin. I am currently restoring mine now. This is how it looks so far.

 
The rare thing about them is the plastic tank and panels on my 1968. I bought it to restore and sell but can't see myself doing that now. I love the thing.   Hutch

Jim,  I know what you mean, I got a drawer full of whitworth wrenches from all the years of Triumph,BSA Royal Enfields and such. I need to re-chrome fenders and bars. Paint turned out good, seat recovered for $50 turned out nice. Your right, the bike is so light it makes the Savage feel heavy. Mine engine is a little tired, no smoke but not the compression it should have, probably valves. It is just so much fun I can't see selling it now. The docs don't want me riding at all. They said if I got in an accident in front of a hospital I would bleed to death before they got me inside from the 1600mgs of blood thinners I take everyday. Oh well, at least I would go doing what I have always loved doing for 40+ years.  Hutch

Sorry, been out of town. If you still need it done, I bet I can. Let me know.


Rob, thanks. I didnt realize it was there.
