I have a 05' V-Star 1100 Silverado Classic - it looks awesome, but it growls more than roars. If I buy the slip-on pipes, will that alone, make it pretty mean sounding like yours?
Also, did you remove the AIS pump? Did you have to re-jet? What all did you do? I'm asking because, if I can make my bike sound as good as yours by just buying some slip-ons for $200-$300, I will buy them today.
Thanks man! I love my bike, it's loud, reliable, economical. Well worth the investment. I would definately recommend this bike to anyone who wants a beefy, torque'y, slammin' bike and doesn't want to throw out $16k - 21K for a beautiful Harley.
Hey sledge,just bought some Jardine slashcuts for my 1100 Dragstar too.Did you need to re-jet?I was told there's no need to with Jardines on cruisers.Kev.
I also need to remove the AIS pump. The sound is supposed to change after removing the pump because it actually leans out the exhaust with the pump and causes popping and some minor backfiring. They say that after removing the AIS pump the sound is like the old Virago's.
The video really doesn't do much justice. I know what your talking about (the sound in the video), but they do sound better in person. I am a fan of V&H, but the slip ons weren't gonna be available until July. I am gonna put an entire new exhaust on the bike next year.
sounds like a half cut-off prick dildo; embarrassing audio, looks good though.

Lol! No, just a cheap video camera with bad sound quality. Only picks up the higher frequency sounds.

No need to re-jet when you use the slip-ons. If you run new pipes all of the way from the barrels back, then you must re-jet.

what an annoying sound.... it's like an honda civic with no manifold, get a refund and buy some V&H 50/50, that'a great sounding set.
