Yes. Confirmed as well. Even stubbornly custom built step tuned open pipes and opened fishtails using tuned reversion tricks engineered to cam, compression and cubes… the length just won’t work. But you know Elvis would so ride it.



I should just make it an Elvis Themed bike.. The “King”

OP… this be Chrome.

Serious question. Do they reduce horsepower and torque?
