I removed the baffles today...
Man - they are LOUD But still sound sweeeeeet.
When I first started her up, I thought "holy shit - that's loud".
The bike sounds totally different now. Heaps louder, heaps deeper, heaps nastier, now I really do feel like a hooligan Grin
At idle, the ground trembles beneath me...
Cruising along around 3000-3500 rpm, the deep deep Ducati twin sounds spectacular...
When "giving her some" I'm surprised the bitumen beneath me doesn't shatter into a million pieces as I literally tear along...
The grumble on deceleration is just sublime...
And the little "bop" when blipping the throttle on down-shift makes men turn their heads, and makes women think "who is that bad-ass on the motorcycle" Kiss
My flatmate was driving the other way on the highway this arvo.
As we passed he said to his girlfriend "I gotta admit, Davo's bike does sound bloody cool"
hehe cheeky
Yeah, Alex I do need better tyres, the Dunlops regularly scare the shit out of me

I will be making a custom open clutch cover soon. "Bug-splat" is a big issue where I live, so I need one that will protect the front of the pressure plate, while exposing the rear. So I'm going to cut and paint an original cover myself.
