Cheers Roger, The pipes are very loud, in fact a bit too loud. As I pass through my local village I keep noticing people diving for cover in shop doorways. :twisted:
I know the colour isn't original but I decided to rebuild it as a rider, not one to just polish and put the cover back over.

Glyn,
Thats indeed a beauty! I have a silver 380B with stock pipes. Boy they are heavy but they look nice.
Aftermarket pipes are a godsend if OE are too knackered to use, they sound horrible when the baffle plates have fallen out as they do.
But, they can be too loud. I tried a Piper on my 550B and small children would cry, adults shake their fists at me and even tough blokes in 4x4s hit the brakes and move over when I can up behind them. I had three rides with it then took the Piper off :-) It sounds so nice idling and blipping the throttle at home but its ridiculously loud riding with vigour.
Cheers,
Mike

I see you took my advice. Is that Photobucket hosted or another service? I can also see why you wanted to post her up. She sure is a looker. I can hear your wallet moaning :ssh:

That is one shiny pretty bike.

I have JEMCO pipes on mine and the sharp crack at low throttle openings make our local kids turn away and cover their ears. Reduce one little guy to tears and I was using basically no throttle to keep the din down. Higgs makes pop corn crackers and some love the sound.

You must spend a lot of time polishing that bike to keep it so clean. :roll: :wink:

Nice bike

The Bassani chambers I put on RedZone were / are relatively quiet as far a chambers go. Really. Ask jabcb. OR you can watch this horrible video hosted by Photobucket. They do a great job on photos but a lousy job on videos.

Excellent.
Another 550 lives and sod the rivet counters.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.
