sounds different than most bikes I've heard with Preds! It's hard to tell with the camera and with being in the garage, but it sounds mean as hell!

Imagine all of us at home on our computers, looking at the screens with our heads tilted like a puppy dog...

It sounds alot different then it did with the stock motor it kinda reminds me of a drag car the way it revs real quick now.The pipes dont have a crossover that might be part of why it sound different I need to put some miles on it so i can tighten the valves up alittle i set them loose cause i wasnt sure how much the new seats i put in would change when it breaks in.Jeff did you get rid of the anti back lash gears on your cams? I did but not sure i like it as much with out them.
That wont but like 1/2 throttle when i hit it dont want to be to hard on it yet lol

probably, mine are loud. At idle when the engine is cold I can hear the chatter over my pipes.
