Anyone here prefer a quiet bike?

It's a V-twin... it needs a more authoritative voice.

Instead of the sewing machine it sounds like now. There's a guy who goes by my house every day with a 1125. I dont know what he's got on it but I can hear him coming from a mile away.

Probably Free Spirits or one of the other small-shop pipes.
I'm looking at the Barker's w/quiet core.
The price is right, and it's very compact.

Thats got a nice sound. Whats the sticker on it? Small shops are king with Buell. I like Drummer myself, but I know his stuff is stiff for the 1125.

Now Tom, you see how this is done? Why can't you post YT vids, dont make me go looking for shit when you talk about exhausts.

Basic brushed aluminum slip-on is $395, powder coated black w/stainless tip adds $35, and QC is +$20.
About the same OTD price as FMF.

I gots a yosh 4-2-1 on the bus, and it has the plug still in it.
Nice sound, better looking than stock, and quieter than most other aftermarket pipes.

With the plug out, it is LOUD.
I leave the plug in.
