That sounds pretty good actually.

If the DB's are the same, are the "cagers" really going to hear you any better? (regarding the Ak)

Are you one of those "Loud Pipes Save Lives"...kind of rider?

Installed a Leo Vince this morning. Sounds great, has a a removable db. buster baffle if you want more growl. Easy fast install, seems to have better low end grunt. Dyno show's gains mainly in torque 2500-3500 rpm, perfect for highway passes in sixth gear, less down shifting. I'll know more soon, leaving on 2500 mile+ mini-ironbutt to the west coast in the morning fully loaded. Now I have to install my HID spots and finish packing and I'll be off. Ride safe.

That screen sure will catch lots of flies for you....it is so [email protected]#[email protected]#[email protected]

Porko, is that the Calsci windscreen on your bike? I would appreciate some feedback on it if you don't mind.

+1 I'm between the Calsci and the MRA. What do you have tied to your radiator also?

Have a safe ride!

Haha Joe, I suppose I am somewhat. Within reason. I don't like really loud pipes. A little something louder than stock is better than this stock whisper. I worked for Toyota for a short stint. Those silent Priuses are a pedestrians worst nightmare. They just can't hear you sneaking up

Get some cases, load em' up with 50lbs of junk and hit the road!

Is beer and ice considered junk?

I live near a popular small mountain pass (hill 700m high), and they actually stop bikers to check the decibels.
I love a nice low-grunting pipe or a high-rev pitchy 40cylinder whine, but they are simply not friendly to others' ears.
