High revving, and particularly 4 cyl bikes have higher frequencies. Maybe a Harley can be heard to an extent from ahead, but even a Harley is a higher freq than would be considered low freq. But if you have ever driven on a Los Angeles freeway, you know that you typically do not hear a motorcycle until it is right on you.....even if it has an un-godly loud pipe. I have a friend that ran an open pipe on his R6 for a while. I could not ride behind him. In front of him, no problem didn't even bother me. Now, staying ahead of him was an issue, but for an entirely different reason.

            I am not against after market performance exhausts, but the reason is for performance, not some safety myth.

            No disrespect but you guys are full of it, you can hear a loud Harley or a rocket coming up behind you on the high way, if you no how to drive you look around to see where it is! If that hasn't happened to you its time for hearing aids!

Is it a perfect example of a Cafe Racer? No, and it likely never will be. But I appreciate the way it looks now a million times over how it looked stock. Hate on me if you want.



              I'm not finished... more changes coming soon!
              It looks great, keep up the good work!

                        I think the problem has more to do with how most people starting a cafe project don't have the time, money or skills to finish.

                              You need to learn how to ride and quit letting some imaginary invisible force field protect you.

                              It doesn't work. Most drivers are deaf even more than they are blind. They just don't care about you or your noisy piece of crap. Most drivers don't know how to drive, and couldn't be bothered to learn. It just doesn't do any good to **** off every single driver on the road. It's a retarded concept, spread widely as an excuse for those who want to have no mufflers, and only believed by retarded people who can't ride at all.


                              Life is too short to ride an L.
