    I did that when I was 20 on a KZ650. Pods and a straight Kerker . Most of my hearing loss today is from those daze . I like the stealth mode now. Makes me smile when a loud azz pirate tries to launch on me at a stop light .

      Let's see - 1981 GS1100e. Only the world's quickest production motorcycle (for the second straight year).

      Agreed. What's not to like?

      Add pods and pipe, plus it's red, better still.
      1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        HHa-ha, my local watering hole a mile down the road is basically an HD bar, but I back my Suzi right in next to the ape hangers? Actually I know most of the pirate clientele from playing pool down there?

        I can tell you, my pipe ain?t loud at all compared to those ticking beasts ? on special nites, when the pirate captain was particularly frisky (most likely courtesy of Captain Morgan) a smoke show would provide a nice screen for a wobbly get-away? great fun

          Don't forget the $100 initial investment...

            To be honest, I don't know what position my needle's are in. My circlip players weren't able to reach far enough down to take them out. I figured its a dyno 3 because of the 138 jet. Also, from about 5000 to redline in second and third gear feels like the front tire is very light, so I think I'm okay. Also, just checked my plugs and after about 300 miles they look text book perfect. I think I'll just deal with the light popping on heavy decel, and maybe try 52.5's at the end of riding season just to see what happens.
