Wow thank you for that, I love hearing about the British bikes, Riders of the Lost Empire, I'll have to get some pictures of that BSA sometime and post them up here, also seeing as how your a fan of Turnips, beside the BSA on the shelf is a Silver Jubilee I can get some photos of to, Thanks again for that info on the 441 Victor, never knew that. Best Wishes. -Joe
I bought a new BSA B25 Starfire 250 in 1968 and my brother bought a new B44 441 the following year (I think it was called Shooting Star over here, our Victor was a street scrambler style), so we have BSA singles in our blood! Used to go and watch that M&T bike racing at Thruxton circuit and it was quite a sight.
If you google 'Mead & Tomkinson' or any of the riders' names you'll pick up a few other websites.

Need some Advice
I don't care about looks or sound. Mainly performance. If it performs the same, I would pick the quieter one since that is where the wife sits and she isn't into loud noises. I couldn't care less personally but I'd like to keep the wife happy if possible.
Should the exhaust pipes be change or just the muffler?
Currently I am running an 883. What if I changed to the 1200 or 1250 from NHRS? Would it also have to change?

That is why I didn't mention them. 
So, for an 883, what exhaust would you recommend that I can install AND grow into? I don't what a kit that I install today but becomes too little when I grow into a 1200 or 1250. I care about performance and fitment and then price. I would like it not to make a racket only because of the passenger. If she gets a headache, I don't get any that night so. Besides getting a hooker, what do you experts recommend?
