Back in my day of owning a motorcycle in the city was to stash it at a underground parking garage in odd sized unused spaces. The guys would let you park for free if you were semi civilized. Plus when I wanted to ride i would park my car underground jump on my putt and head out like Batman from my Batcave. City life.

I put a set of fishtail pipes on mine. At first I ran straight pipes with no baffle but it was too loud. I put in some 4 inch baffles and it sounds great. I used 1- 13/16" pipes and had to expand them just a little to make them fit. Looks great too and only cost about $300 including hangers and clamps. Those Agostini's cost at least $1000 and they still look like mufflers.

What’s that wrap on the exhaust? I have a 2014 cali want the same and how much does those Agostini exhaust cost? Will really appreciate a revert!
@TheTestride Жыл бұрын
Wrap was on eBay and so are mufflers. Both on the bike when I bought it. About $1400 aud I think for mufflers.

That's harsh. 40k over the speed limit here they just take your license but they ticket for more than 4kmh over the speed limit. We're told that doing 105 on an empty road on a perfectly maintained bike is more dangerous than driving an suv full of kids who are all asking you for shit while you're tailgating, eating a hot pie, drinking coffee and fiddling with your stereo at 53 kmh in heavy traffic. It seems Aussie road safety legislators are as stupid as Kiwis.
@davidthompson22839 жыл бұрын
It gets worse. Our Beloved Masters have decided that 1 kmh over the limit is too fast and they're going to randomly pull motorcyclists over to check our riding gear, and check our bikes. I hope like hell I get pulled over, I intend to explain in simple terms just why I know more about my bike's roadworthiness than any half wit in a Commodore.
