- April 26, 2014, 15:52:20 PMVery true Ratman . One more thing I forgot to mention , which is a big plus for myself . the vibration is GONE . This along with the new grips , and less noise should be a most comfortable ride this year

- April 26, 2014, 15:22:20 PMI tried the stock system on and it was really quiet,
Tried the Hard Chrome, made my ears bleed, not my style,
RH has that really nice throaty sound which does not bother the rest of the world to hating me....

- April 26, 2014, 05:13:05 AMA tad louder?....really?.....man am I getting old!
I guess if you are used to or like open pipes, it's all relative....I was coming up on it the other way from the very quiet stock exhaust.
So I hope that means you are happy you did it....it sure looks good.

- April 25, 2014, 21:02:26 PMRatman my exhaust I just replaced with the road house were definitely ear bleed material . I myself would like the roadhouse a tad louder , but am liking the fact I can hear the bike now .

- April 25, 2014, 19:52:52 PMI really like the RH pipes compared to the Hard Krome pipes, a lot more then the stock pipes. The RH are like you said throaty and enough to let people know you are there and around, but not enough to cause an ear bleed.

- April 25, 2014, 19:33:24 PMKW I was finally able to get MA-DEUCE out of hibernation tonight . Man is she throaty , but quite compared to my old pipes . I can actually hear the bike now ... LOL ... Were expecting rain tomorrow morning , but SUPPOSE to clear up so I'll take some pictures and take her for a longer test run as I was only able to get 10 miles in today .

- March 13, 2014, 03:52:23 AMNo problem....who wants the right looking pipes with the wrong sound? It was a problem I unfortunately was forced to solve. So, just presented a few options so you guys can keep your winter work lists full.
BTW, now that I have the dbs where I want them, I can hear those valves again...so that's up next.

- March 12, 2014, 20:03:55 PMSo I went back to Smartpartz as a courtesy after two of you told me you had 2 inch stub pipes coming out of your baffles. For info, they gave me this link to their product that fits the 2 inch pipe: http://www.smartpartz.com/SPZCB200DP.html
They confirmed the part size but note the directions on the link show they are marketed for a Cobra 2 inch exhaust.
Again just sharing info.

one of the issues in buying used sometimes you get the other persons mistakes or screwups.
And my temper has gotten slightly better
