Default Quiet Pipes, New Problem

Loving the stock pipes cpbedor sent me.....Thanks again man!

Problem is, the bike has very LOUD very SQUEAKY rear brake. Stops GREAT, but is kinda embarrassing......

Plus, the rattle.....in the front end....I'll find it.

I might try spraying the rear brake with cleaner........NOT!

What will stop that ANNOYING squeak?

I think I gained some lovely low end torque from a stop too!

I'm certain you've got more torque out of stock pipes. Glad you like them. They look better on your bike than they do in my garage.

Bevel the leading edge of the brake pads.

Bevel the pads? Never heard that before, but it makes sense! I'll do that tomorrow!

BTW, I'm putting the leftover pipes up for sale on ebay. If they sell, I'll split the profit with you....I'll send the link once they're posted. they need to be cleaned up.......

Nothing like squealing up to a stop on a beautiful machine. Not as beautiful when it sounds like a rust bucket.

Some makes of sintered pads are very squeaky, Ferodo are nice and quiet.

BTW...if its too loud, you're too old ;-)
