I think I have seen them on one of Kyle's bikes. One of the guys on this forum has them on his cross bones.

I promised myself I would not do this, but I think I'm going to order a set of Shade Tree exhaust extensions and steel flappers if he's still got some sets at that $250 price. I won't be installing them now, but I think it's something I'd like to do in the near future.

I've been wanting to make some like that for a long time. I talked to some people that have had them and they all said that the noise of the flappers will drive you crazy.

Chop On,
Robert

I was iffy, but this sent me back to the NAH side. I ride too much to have an annoying sound. I found the guy running this setup though "scooter34" .

Yea, I hear ya. But you could always take the flappers off if they were too annoying.

Chop On,

I didn't think I would ever buy his stuff again, but I broke down and bought the battery cover. What can I say, nobody else makes a hard cover for the bones. At least he gave me the discounted price.

I just put on these upswepts. I was thinking about the flappers, but am not sure on them yet. First is to wrap these bad boys. Maybe black flappers once half the exhaust is wrapped. Hmmm...
