Default Hey Tommo

I was wondering about your exhaust.I have that 2-1 setup.With a muffler that looks like yours.I never put it on.I was wondering how it sounds? I went with the V&H straightshots instead.I still have the other system and I am tempted soemtimes to put it on to see what it sounds like.

Booey....Evidently the 2-1 is off an 883 (I didn't fit it on my 1200) and the muffler is a SE item...It's plenty loud enough for me,although it hasn't set off any car alarms yet.....though i have been thinking of using ear plugs on long rides......sounds sweet and i love the 2-1 look

Tommo- I'm usually not into the drag-bar look but every time I see a pic of yours, I sit and stare for a while. Very clean looking bike you have.

Guess your coppers eat plenty of carrots.....over here they want cctv cameras to catch your plate.....as a side issue they're trying to bring in a law that If your done twice for speeding you get an instant ban...not sure for how long tho.[&:]
