2Whlsrollin Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Well, I thought I had spent enough money on bling for my "06" Venture. That was until I did a favor on Sunday before the game for a member from Indiana wanting me to go over and check out an 2000 milemum edition Venture near my home in Texas he is wanting to buy. I took it for a little ride and fell in luv with the Bub slip ons. Great sound and not to obnoxious. Got to get me a pair. Where is a good place to get them, and do you have to rejet?

ibsaw Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 i got my bubs thru west end motorsports.com, they were the cheapest i could find
Mavrick Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I did not re-jet when I put the bubs on my 04......I think they give the old girl a little character.......

Gary N. Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Jerry, FYI, it's an easy mod to install the Harley fishtail tips on the Bubs. I did a how to and posted on here somewhere. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see if I can find it. Gary
Guest Saddletramp Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Are those the "Sleepers" that you are refering to? If it is then I sure would like to see how the fishtails fit on.

Here's a link to the post I made on installing the HD fishtail tips. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11648&highlight=Fishtail+tips
emack Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I bought the Bubs Sleepers from the dealer when I bought my leftover 2006 Royal Star. They did put shims in the carbs, etc... It was still a little too loud for me so I drilled out the rivets and pulled the baffles out to wrap. Probably a good thing I did as they came with just enough pink house insulation to harbor water and rust was already forming inside. I ended up wrapping the baffles with FMF (four stroke dirt bike three layer) wrap. They still have that nice rumble and are toned down just a notch. Better for 6am departures.
2Whlsrollin Posted February 5, 2008 Author Posted February 5, 2008 Ordered mine from West End Motorsports today. Ibsaw was right, cheapest price out there. I will keep your comments in mind if they are a little to loud. Thanks
yamahamer Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 YOU WILL LOVE THE SOUND! ONLY LOUD WHEN YOU GET ON IT. I ALSO DRILLED OUT THE RIBITS BUT JUST TO TAKE OUT THE LITTLE THAT WAS IN THERE MADE NO SOUND CHANGE. GET READY TO RUMBLE:big-grin-emoticon:
MrRadi8 Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I'd love to hear a set on a Venture. I loved them on my ACE1100 but it's two different critters.

MrRadi8 Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 YOU CAN HEAR THEM UNDER VIDEOS ON THE FORUM THAT I HAVE POSTED. BUT THEY STILL DON'T DO THEM JUSTICE None of that stuff does. Which is why I want to hear them on a Venture, not online.
2Whlsrollin Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 Looks like I shoud have them on Monday. Is it hard to install them?
heatonmt Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 2whlsrollen: Let me know how the install goes if I end up keeping Big Blue I was thinking about put a set on. I would like to Know if is just a un-bolt / blot on and if there is any backfire problems :7_6_3[1]::7_6_3[1]:

flb_78 Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Looks like I shoud have them on Monday. Is it hard to install them? I would not attempt it without a torch, welder, pipe bender, abrasive cut off saw and a pair of vice grips, otherwise, it would be almost too easy to change out the mufflers with out these items.
2Whlsrollin Posted February 16, 2008 Author Posted February 16, 2008 Well, put on the bubs last night and took a brisk ride around the block a time or two. All I can is SWEET:)
