The sweet sound of 2" TT's

Just a short video clip for the TT fans! Even if you don't like loud pipes, you still gotta love the sound

I don't have speakers at work so I can't watch it until I get home.

Have you ridden it? how's the perfomance compare?

I took a short ride on it, seems to pull alot harder up top. Now that I have some warmer clothes on, I'm about to take her out for a spanking or two.

Sounds good! I thought about these but may be too loud for me. Hard to get a good idea about loudness over speakers.

I just got back. The topend performance is definently increased. I am not jetted properly now, I think I'm lean, but I believe I lost some TQ on the low end. Proper jetting will probably cure it, but I will need a dyno for it. First and second gear powerwheelies are still there, but it takes more of an effort in second. They are LOUD under load, which I knew they would be, but they still sound sweet.

maybe if it was 2" for the first 6-8 inches then went down to 1-5/8" or something it would help the top and bottom end?

So many questions...

What are TT's and what do the initials stand for? They appear to be headers without silencers. 1200cc!!!? HOLY ****! How many HP and what's it like to ride? I love the Union Jack on the right cover. How? Where? Can I get one? I have about twenty more questions but perhaps you can direct me to a previous post that lists your specs and mods. I'd like to know what type of bars, seat and rearsets ytou have as well.

Cheers,


SK

Greg the bike sounds great. (you already know that)
Are TT pipes the plan or do you figure on some kind of cans?
