    Bub's Exhaust

    gunboat replied to Reed's topic in Watering Hole

    i bought my '99 over 4 years ago. it had the bub's all ready installed on the scoot. it had just over 21,000 miles. i now have over 76,000 miles on it. i like the sound not loud but a throatee/roar sound going down the road at speed. my bub tips are a brown color. last year i was going to repack them but i ended up scratching up the right tip trying to pull it out. finaly got it out and there was no packing inside. i just shoved it back in and left it the way it was. reguards don c.

    as with others here i have many sea stories too. but i was lucky to be sparied a lot of the "games " that are played on new boots coming into the fleet. i had a master chief who liked me, but then again i was a few years older than the regular boot. but i remember the deck apes coming down in engine room asking for a cup of relative bearing grease, or fire men recruits looking for 100 foot of water line. gunboat who rembembers his service with great pride. who would do it again in a heart beat. reguards don c.

    hi chris i guess i was number 4 or 5 to go to the darkside, i went right after forrest( flab78 ) did. i have had the dreaded wobble twice. 1'st time with the m/c tires but i was rolling over a 100 mph when it happened. i know of a 1'st gener who had this happened to him with only about 300 miles on new m/c tires. he went back home after the weekend and rebuilt the front end of his bike. the 2'nd time the wobble happened was with a bfg 155 on the rear and a me880 130 on the front. i guess i was close to 100 mph again. i have had the steering head bearings tighten but i never ride above 85-90 mph anymore, no reason to ride faster. i have pulled a fully loaded trailer to canada and back with my daughter with no issues. that was over 4,000 mile round trip. i put over 31,000 miles on the bfg. i now run the avon corba on the front and the kumho 165 on the rear. i maybe have a couple thousand miles on the bike with this combo. but i realy like the set up on the bike now smooth as glass. i have been up to 95mph with no wobble. i plan on doing a ride out to new mexico, colorado and wyoming this summer with my daughter and the fully loaded trailer again. so i'll be reporting back in with more info. i have not tried the dayna beads yet but will look more to it. thanks for your intrest into the darkside, as i have stated in my post this is not a mod for everyone but it's working for me. if i can be of any help please feel free to contact me i not far from you. reguards don c.
