Answers to the many questions since my original post…

Did you have to rejet after doing this mod?
|
I didn't re-jet and it still seems to run fine. Many have posted before that re-jetting isn't necessary with this mod. If it had been necessary, I wouldn't have done it. I'm still scared of carburetors. All that talk of shims, jets, needles, mixture screws… I'm afraid I'd really screw it up. What we need is some "how to re-jet" posts complete with pictures. If someone will show me how to do it, I'll write it up and post here.

How do they sound inside your helmet when you're on the freeway?
|
Haven't had a chance to run on the freeway yet, but my guess is you won't hear them much. I mostly hear engine noise just sitting on the bike in the driveway at high revs, unless the exhausts are pointed at something to bounce the sound back (like the side of the house).

I'd rather have the drink.

By the way, how did you post the pictures in your note? For future posts it would be helpful for all of us to learn how to do that.

The trick with posting pictures to this forum is that you first must have the pictures on the web somewhere. Then when you type up a new post, you click this button:
and a little form will pop up and ask you to type the URL for that image. Then some text will get inserted into your post that contains the URL of the image you just typed into the box (or you could just type the text yourself).
I'm an information technology professional by trade (i.e. computer geek) and have my own web server so getting pictures on the web is easy for me. I don't know what other people do. I've read a suggestion that you can uploading your images to the members photo album here on this site, and then use the URL for those in your post.
It sure would be a lot easier if you could just upload your image files for a post, while you are composing the post.
If you really get desperate, email me your photos and I'll put them on my web server and give you the text to place in your post for them to show up.

Did you try to drill through the remaining baffles?
|
No. I've read that would require re-jetting.

does the growl now drown out the knitting needles?
|
Only at idle, or maybe if you are behind the bike. At high revs, I only hear engine noise. I don't know anyone who'll drive my bike besides me, so I don't know what it sounds like from anywhere except being the rider.

Why is their a hamster in our exhausts?

Apparently they were hiding from the knitting needles.
