Default Rush mufflers on my Nightster

Ok, based on the reviews and opinions on this site i decided to try some Rush slash downs with 2" baffles on my nightster.&nbsp\\; All I can say is WOW!&nbsp\\; Nice deep tone without being overly loud.&nbsp\\; Still has a nice bark to it though.&nbsp\\; Splitting lanes in traffic is so much nicer now since people can hear me coming, and I feel a bit safer with the noise.&nbsp\\; If you want an upgrade from stock mufflers I would highly recommend these.&nbsp\\;

Pics will follow.

Are you crazy or just have a death wish?&nbsp\\; Splitting lanes is nuts and gives a bad image of motorcycle riders.&nbsp\\; Don't you have a horn?&nbsp\\; I am getting rid of my Rush exhaust with the 2" baffle because they are too loud when you can still hear them with ear plugs in.

Well splitting lanes in CA is "legal" and really about the only way to get around some areas.&nbsp\\; I'm always polite and only split when I know i can get through without incident and never more than 5 or 10mph faster than the traffic is moving.&nbsp\\; Crazy? maybe, death wish? no. &nbsp\\;

If you've never ridden in CA it can be difficult to understand but most day the traffic comes to a standstill at about 7am and sits there until around 8 at night. Splitting lanes is the only way to get around. And it's pretty safe (if that's important to you) because you're the only one moving.
