I like it, but what do the neighbors think?

Wow!
That looks and sounds *Awesome*.
I am reconsidering them. I am hoping that I will be able to nurse my Adventurer away from my driveway in the morning without upsetting the neighbors (Hey, they're not perfect either!)

Since my neighbor likes to wash his cars on a Sunday morning and he has no clue about how to use a chamois, so instead uses a blower to dry them off, I deserve a set of these for my TBS.

I had the Emgos on my TBS before I traded (up?) for my S3. Do yourself a favor and repack them with some fiberglass and steel wool. I promise it won't hurt the volume but gets rid of the raspiness and makes each engine pulse a distinct "thump." Nice and throaty. Either way, enjoy it - I still miss mine...sometimes  |

Nice bike
Like the TBS, can you hear yourself think? Does anyone know the ratio of fiberglass/steel wool that you pack these with? JC Whitney in the states sells a set of 27 inch long set of reverse-cone muflers for abot $90.00 US, anyone got any experience with these?

i tried fiberglass (insulation) in a V&H exaust and it lasted less than a day .
my local jap bike shop sells a product like this and works wonders and lasts .

the stuff i used was made by FMF and is a dense fiberglass mat about 3/4 " thick .

about your Pipes!
Great bike !! I have the same one in Yellow.
2 questions for you if you don't mind.
Where did you get your luggage rack?? It looks great. Could please tell me where, name and how much it cost?
I want to change my exhaust pipes also. How do you like yours? Does it sound much louder than the original? What type is it exactly? Was it hard to install???
Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my post!

It sounds great. I wouldn't get away with that where I ride, but it would be nice to make a noise like that.
