My suggestion for what not to use is Armor-all if you have the older, straight seat. My '82 SR250 has a seat like that, and any of the products that make the...
I am considering removing the muffler baffles on my '86 XV700CS to make it louder and sound better. My main objective is to get attention with sound since...
Justin, I understand your desire to make the folks driving cages (cars) more aware of your presence on the road, but there are a few things you may want to...
Just added to my website at http://www.deuchars.org.uk/mcycle/ Anyone who owned an XV750SE/early Virago will know they can be 'interesting' to start....

Yes, you will get attention from the police for running loud, your bike will backfire on deceleration, and you'll regret cutting them out in about 2-3 weeks....
I tore up the front cam shaft spindle - incorrect torque on the sprocket bolt. D'oh! The irony is that is why I took it apart last time, for the REAR cylinder....
I don't understand why this would get so much police attention. Would it actually be louder than a Harley? I thought that many Harley's run straight pipes and...
If you have a loud Harley, that's okay, it was made in a USA union shop. However if you have a foreign bike not made here then it is not ok to have loud...
There are some municipalities that have regulations on their books against anything that is not stock. Aftermarket pipes are verbotten. Now mind you, it is up...
Yeah...on EBAY there's a seller called MrFixit,located here in Kansas City.Drop him an Email and I'm sure he can fix you up reasonably.He has 2 920's and I...
I replaced the baffles in my either Cobra or Jardine pipes (I don't remember which I had, it was a full set and I don't have the bike antmore) with Big City...
I have a set of Jardine exhaust on my 86' 700.I have run it without the baffles for about 4 years now and it has never given me a problem.Before I took them...
this may sound stupid,but, my 700 cc virago has slip on cobra tapered exhaust on it,was put on by previous owner,I haven't taken off to look but do the slip on...
On my 1983 XV 750,the previous owner changed the battery box with one from a 920,which has a bigger battery,after basically trying to restore it to original...
that would bring up anather question. if you cut the baffles out do you need to rejet the carb? i know a lot of other pipes say that you may have to do this. ...
This loud exhaust thing is a matter of personal preference, for a good part. But if you have never ridden a bike with loud exhausts, you may want to find a...
Hey Jim, I think you and I are on the same page. Loud pipes are ok I guess, but whenever I go on a club group ride, I do my best to make sure I am following...
I think the majority of Harley riders are deft. They must be or they couldn't stand the noise. If I were a cop I would make my town or state or whatever a...
Well, a lot of the older Harley riders belong to the "Loud pipes save lives" brigade and honestly believe it. As a result of this following, a lot of the...

Aaron, Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you came out relatively unscathed. You made a good point concerning lane positioning at a stop light. ...
Hey you gotta admit that when you are driving in your automobile,you cant help but notice the loud pipes when you hear one,and I really think that benifit...
I have to ask how they can hear the pipes when the are in front of the bike? It's a proven fact that people can't hear a train coming until it blows it's horn....
