[nldelaney]

Thanks! I've always liked the excess noise, it's not so loud it's annoying but gives it a little character.

I have a EX 500 with a Yshimura Exhaust, it's the same "voice"...

[nldelaney]

But yours likely sounds a little less like a lawnmower :P.

i took my front fairing off but not the odometer or tachometer or light. did u take all electricals on yours? and if u kept the light, how did u do it?

[nldelaney]

I took off the factory headlight and factory gauges. The headlight on there now is off of a '70s Suzuki and basically just plugged directly into the connector - easy install. Just had to drop the forks out of the triple trees to use the bracket I had. As for the gauges, I used a speedo off the same Suzuki - it's just a cable driven model, many would work - and I don't have a tach right now.

Mess it up the rest of the way! Fuck Yeah!

The engine was designed to be most efficient with the guts in the exahust. It's called "back pressure" and is not always a bad thing. But hey, now your bike sounds horrible.

@nldelaney does it pass inspection?

[cmfernandez9283]

Sounds like its beatboxin. lol Gutting the exhaust gives it a very cruiser-esque note. I like.

[digitalcubano]

Ha, that sounds a hell of a lot better than I thought it would.
