I never liked loud pipes on other peoples bikes. Strange thing happened though. I recently bought an 04 Sportster with the stage 1 screaming eagle junk and a set of Cycle Shack slip-on mufflers on it. The pipes do have baffles, and they aren't like drag pipes but they are definitely a lot louder louder than stock. I originally intended to find a pair of oem take offs to replace them with, but the bike runs so well the way it is now that I'm reluctant to change anything. The noise is kind of growing on me.

Next thing ya know I'll be getting a tattoo. a get-back- whip, and a bunch of chrome skull thingeys to screw onto the bike.

I'm still gonna wave at everybody though, whatever they happen to be riding. Except for the BMW guys maybe. Those guys almost never wave back. Sad

It is the inner city teenagers on their Chinese scooters that won't wave back at me. Huh  (And some of them have taken the baffles out of their mufflers).

Don’t really care for Loud Pipes, for everyday driving.
Sometimes, enjoy them on Custom bikes.  Sometimes.

NEVER ONCE, they EVER, ‘comment on the, XT-225, I was driving’.
CLASS   ACT !!!!!!


I had an XT225, basicly just a dirt bike with turn signals. The Big Bike riders don't seem to mind, because the Big Bike makers don't make dirt bikes! There was one time, while going to work, I passed Destination Harley in Fife and just waved. Moments later, a chugger catches up to me at a stop light, and says "Get a effin motorcycle!" Grin

I waved at a sport biker once. He waved back in a very annoyed way.  Roll Eyes
