ID 2", overall length 27". used reducers from advance auto, 4 clamps. custom hang strap courtesy of local harware store, painted black.

now you must record a video of it starting and running so we can hear them.

 

Once painted stick some fishtail ends on those puppies

Or better yet take a ride around to this side of the pond so that we can hear them in person.

Some folks will do just about anything to get their 1st gen to sound as good as a 2nd gen...

 

[SilvrT]

hmmmmmmmmmm.... (I wonder how those would sound on my Wing?)

[Pegasus1300]

I was thinking the same thing for the GW trike. That thing is just toooo quiet.

Last set of "glass packs" I mounted on anything lasted like a month before it got ugly loud. Might not be as bad on a bike though. Any reason you didnt use Road King take offs? That seems to be the answer for the Gen 2. Do they still make just the "round" thrush, they were a bit milder in sound. Just looked at their site and it looks like those are no longer made.

just got back from 2 hr ride. these things hum nicely...not too overbearing at all. nice low grumble. i even noticed better throttle response, especially in 5th gear!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vqywoIpaAc&feature=youtu.be. kinda crappy video, bike is louder in person.

Yep, those painted black with some high heat paint and some fishtails, now thats total awesomeness. . . .

 

? Do you have any decel popping

[djh3]

Not bad from behind. I looked forever for a decent video of the RK muffs on a Gen2. Everything was like this from behind. What gave me a good idea was a guy shot some while riding from the dash or helmet. Then you could tell what it sounded like from the drivers seat. Just an idea. But I will say very ingenious.

some decel popping, but, had that anyways. sounds really sweet when engine braking!

reason it runs better in 5th...now you can hear it. And maybe it's "leaned" out a rich condition. FYI...most(50% + 1) of us have carbs that are simply too rich due to wear and the floats sinking...a bit...you can blame ethanol...

i doubt the volume had anything to do with it, but it did run rich. still does, just doesnt seem to smell as bad now. just ran the heck out of it.....its-a nice-a!
