Quiet predators

Anyone try to quiet predators just a bit, I'm not sure I want them so loud for a long trip

I was riding up to Yosemite one night at 2 in the morning, I felt so bad with my preditors, I killed it and walked the bike the next couple of miles....

Kinda sorta...
They are Dominator Tourings.
Never owned the Preds, but from what I've seen, they are pretty much the same in appearance. Opinions vary of course.

Give me those annoyingly load pipes and I'll send you my stock thrux pipes. Just pay for shipping and you won't have to worry about them again.

Isn't this like saying big shrimp I love the roar and rumble of my predators. I can listen to that tune all day.

Given their design, Bucky, I don't think there's a practicable way to quiet Preds down. Earplugs or an ipod, Amigo.

Just lay off the throttle going through town.

In the country, twist the throttle and leave the sound behind.

I just got an e-mail from the folks who make Predators. They can put in "db killers" which will tone them down a bit, still much louder than stock though. Unfortunately, I would have to send them to the UK, cost is about 30 british pounds for each silencer.
