Thank you kindly sir. I chased her down for about 4 -5 years and persistence paid off. She is in good hands now. If i am ever in need of a foster parent for her, I will look you up!
Went on my first reasonable ride this morning with the new system fitted. It was wet after a heavy storm from yesterday, so I new I'd had to wash her down afterwards but it was worth the effort. Was also a bit chilly and we are still a little above freezing in England so no salt on the roads as yet. The ride consisted of speeds from 30 to 9$ and the exhaust sounded a peach, you can really go down to 2000 rpm and pull away nicely in top gear, what an improvement to this bike, so much nicer to live with and wondered why its not the done thing but each to their own! I an now concerned that the Husky will be used more than the other bikes that I own and they will be sat in the garage deteriorating slowly. Still will know more next year, may even sell a couple and get the Terra as a second machine
I've had the pipes for a few months now. They have a nice little growl with the baffles in when revving, are louder than stock, and generate deeper sound, although I wish they were a little bit louder. Yesterday I've taken out the baffles to see how the bike sounds, and it sounds FREAKING AWESOME. The bike is much louder, generates an awesome snarl while pulling in the clutch and up-shifting, and like I said it's loud, a little bit too loud for my ear drums. The pipes also look nice and flush on the bike (Strada + 2 black Furore cans.) One thing that's bugging me is the riveted metal tag that is on the cans that says "only for racing". When I purchased the pipes they said that they were road legal in the UK, yet they put that tag on. With the baffles removed, my chances of getting pulled over for them have increased, and with those tags I'm just asking to get a ticket. Is there any safe way of taking them off without damaging the pipes?
Pulled the db killer on mine two times to be sure, way too loud, worse than the full Ti Acro system on my 640 SM from days past.
I love the beefier idle sound on it. It's extremely loud when revving fast and engine-breaking at 1st or 2nd (popping is unbearable.) That's why for the time being I'm discontinuing hard revving and minimizing engine-breaking.
Ok I see, looks like I'll have to remove the pipes then. Tomorrow seems like a good day to tackle that, along with replacing the broken rear fender Thanks!
