The brown truck brought my Bub's today. Installed them and dayam...these sound great! Nice and deep and smooth. I actually felt these slip-ons in my chest while riding. I would have liked just a touch more volume but these bark pretty good when you get on em. I've got a trip with the wife and a few other couples to Watkins Glenn this weekend so I'll have a good chance to see how they are on the long run. Thanks everyone for your input on these Bubs. Great choice.

They'll get a little bit louder after you get over a thousand or so miles with them.

5,288 views on this thread, I guess the Bub 7's are not a well kept secret anymore.

I've created a monster. Funny how before I started this thread there was not much spoken about the Bubs. Guess y'all trusted my judgment. I'm flattered.

Monstermile, Heck I didn't even remember who started this thread, but I'm sure glad you did. You should be flattered! Mine are waiting in the basement till I get the map for my PC-V. I can barely wait. Thanks to all who were so convincing.

If you have a stock engine with just hi-flo and the slip-ons I can send you the map that Jamie sent me. It does have the timing retarded though.

Would any of you all do it yourselfers care to do a quick write up on the install process? Tools needed, total elapsed time, ancillary things like a lift or blanket or lights, etc...

Anyone?
