These road stars have such a nice "galloping" idle, I think these cobras go well with the styling of the bike as well. Looks great & sounds tough. Yamaha builds nice machines. I like the old Ford pickup in the garage too!
I'm looking at getting either a road star 1700 or roadliner here soon. Really prefer the looks and sounds of the road star though. Just out of curiousity, have you had any issues with sticky valves or the carb puking gas on ya?
@nick112207 no problems with the valves...but yes the more ethanol thats put in the gas the more it pukes....I may need to insulate the fuel lines and carb...
Sounds better than most newer model Harleys. All Harleys once sounded like this bike but they screwed it up on the later models and they mostly sound like shit @ idle now
excellent demo of the sound of the cobra slip ons. maybe you would get a sweeter bark if you could cut a 1" hole in each pipe and attach a metal tube so there's some transfer of exhaust from one pipe to the other.
I like the idling exhaust notes

Ethanol is a cleaning agent, and can't over use cause it will washup the motor causing serious damage, that's why only ten percent us used.
