After coming home from the Marcus Dairy super sunday, I decided to continue with my project. removed the pipes, and started sanding and painting.
I kept looking over at the bike, remembering the insanely loud choppers I had just seen, and wondering how loud a 790 twin with open headers would be...
I had to do it...
Woke up the neighbors baby, pissed off the local wildlife, and scared the bejeezus out of My wife...
in the words of Beavis & butthead, "That was Cool. heh heh heh"
I know how that can happen. I put a new back tire, chain, and sprockets on last week and the last part of the job was putting the mufflers back on. There it sat with just the headers. The 18 year old in me thought it would be really fun to take it out for a run with no mufflers. Unfortunately, the old guy in me decided to let the neighbors have their peace. That's worrisome. I hate to think I finally might be growing up.
They sound the buisness without the mufflers
but if you try to ride it that way and its not
jetted for it it will run like poo...don't ask me how I know.
I have TT pipes which are open pipes with a small baffle in them. Yes, they are loud. (Ask Shruum)
The place I work has a parking garage and when I leave, I set off all the car alarms. The wicked little kid posessing my body makes me wait till someone walks past before I fire it up just to see how high they will jump.

I put a Yosh can on my uncles sv650 a few weeks ago and had to know, Was not really a good idea in that small closed garage, a cup of coffee vibrated off the work bench, and I was saying huh all the rest of the afternoon, it was all good though.
When I was a kid I took the mufflers of my little Honda twin and pushed a couple of alloy vacuum cleaner pipes over the headers. Looked cool, sounded great! they stayed on the bike 'till I broke it!
If you can find me a tassled item in the SE catalog, I will buy it. I dont think there are even that many in the standard HD catalog these days, not that I am looking, but I think all that crap is mainly aftermarket junk from someone or another.
