Fuel Moto Any chance of some sound clips you can add when you do testing? If you have a pair of Bone Shakers slip ons in the ware house throw those on too

We are not planning on doing any sound clips and unfortunately we will not be testing with different components

It’s going to be interesting when we compare Jamie’s results with Steve Cole’s results. Looking for similarities between the two tests will be paramount in making a decision for us.

If we see similar results on a particular cam between the two, I would venture to say we will get similar results in the field.

Seeing dissimilar results will help confirm that a particular cam could be inconsistent in the field

On the street cannons, there is a SIGNIFICANT sound difference between the two piece end caps versus the one piece “blunt” end caps and “defiance” end caps. I’ve had several members and one fellow rider that reached out to me after I mentioned this, wanting to ditch the street cannons because of the warbling sound on closing the throttle that the one piece caps made, it’s terrible. They have ALL switched to the two piece caps and have reported back that the annoying sound went away.

Unfortunately mjwebb, we didn’t dyno before and after results, and although all the owners were very happy with the sound change...none of us noticed a power or torque change.

It’s all about what sound you enjoy, I’m not one to judge. Some people have a more discerning taste in sound, others do not, that’s all. I have a chrome set of defiance end caps for sale, cheap.....

It would kind of make sense to include at least one of the HD cams in such a test ...unless it turns out the 447 is as good a choice as any ...for now anyway?
