[Guest]

Need some help here please, which pipe looks better. Stainless tip or all black?

Cheers, Cranny.

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.

 

[xkaes]

Neither. Go with stock mufflers.

It could not possibly matter on that bike...either would fit right in.

Quite... Loud bikes save lives Phydeauxmutt.

Thanks Rphillips.

Not possible with rearsets unfortunately Xkaes.

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.

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.

the top one

Don't wear a helmet either. Them things will break your neck!

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.

we know where you pulled 'many studies' from.

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.

How odd would it be to see that type of bike with quiet pipes?? Wouldn't be right at all...

 

[Gorminrider]

"Loud pipes" only startle drivers when they are alongside. And leave behind a cloud of people muttering "WHAT an a-hole".

Buahahahahaha!

I like the top one with the chrome tip pipe that's on the bottom.

Don't let the grannies here put you off, not all of us hate loud pipes. I don't think they save lives, but knuckling under to the pinch faced scolds that like to kill all fun is never a good idea.

EDIT - I realized after this could be taken the wrong way. I did not mean the people here advocating for stock pipes, I meant the busybodies who complain to their city hall about noisy vehicles and want to trample on other people's enjoyment of life.


As far as the pipes, I like the all black.
