      Sorry, too much other stuff that distracts, had to look hard to see what you were talking about.

      Now, ... black or polished? Whichever one makes it QUIET.

          Neither. Go with stock mufflers.

                              Not sure if you meant "quite" or "QUIET", but it doesn't matter.

                              Loud pipes only irritate the neighbors and EVERYBODY ELSE that happens to be within earshot.
                              If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

                                  Too loud yes, this bike isn't a Harley. It has been proven through many studies that loud pipes save lives mate. If other road users can hear you they are less likely to merge on top of you.

                                                  My apologies, those so called studies have now been found untrue, the science just isn't there to prove that loud pipes actually save lives.

                                                  Thanks to those who've offered their opinion on the pipes.

                                                          Go down to your local fire station, talk to the guys and gals there. Ask them if anyone ever pulls out in front of them. Not only are the trucks (and ambulances) MUCH larger than a bike, they have sirens, lights and air horns, yet people pull out in front of them all the time.

                                                          If you think a loud "putt, putt" or a 4-into-1 "snarl" directed to the BACK of the bike will warn people IN FRONT of you, enjoy it while you can. Maybe it's a "down under" thing that also reverses "front/back".

                                                          Fortunately, you will not be going by my doghouse any time soon, so I'll enjoy my peace and quiet here.
