I just put on Bub 7 True Duels today. I got to say they look sweet, but I'm not happy with the way they fit. \\;Right side was great. \\;Left side was a bad dream. \\;It fits so tight that the heat shield is pressed hard against the frame just where it starts to turn in under the seat. \\;Then the pipe feels like it is at a bit of an angle going into the rear cylinder to the point that the bottom nut is almost touching the bottom of the pipe and there is no way to get a socket over it. \\;But there is no give any where. I had to tighten it with an open ended wrench. \\; Is this normal for BUB 7's? \\; \\;
So now I test drive it. \\; It sounds great....until I'm at a steady cruising speed and then it has a bit of a puffy muffled sound, oposed to that sharp crisp throaty rummble. \\; In just placing my hand over both pipes, they seem to \\;have equal pressure when idling. \\; Any \\;ideas?????? \\;
