Will I think you can answer your own question, you had the competion baffle and now you dont any difference.Are you an open pipe guy? If so do you get alot or grief from neighbors? Just curious. I had a competition baffle on my bike and I would get stares in my neighborhood. I have since quieted it down quite a bit now the neighbors wave...Russ
Is it true what they say: The Louder The Pipe. The Smaller The Penis?

When I bought it it had the Competition Baffle in it. But my wife says she has not noticed a change since I changed it. She says the Enzyte didnt make a difference either. I gonna kick Smiling Bob's Ass...LOL...Russ

1)If people were blowing around with Hot Rods all day long, for one, the Arabs would rejoice because of the fuel consumption but noise is noise whether it comes from 2 or 4 wheels.
2) So his reason for riding is to make rude noise?
3) He can buy all the bikes without baffels he wants or pull all the baffels he wants. The point is he can only ride them in shrinking areas, so by all means go right ahead. I do hate to see nice bikes rendered useless, unsellable or limited in their usefulness. Don't make much sense to me. But he is free to do that. He is just not free to infringe on someone elses freedom or quality of life just because he wants to. Nobody can just do what they want to with no regard of how it affects others.
It takes 6+ pages because some cannot put themselves in the other persons position. They just want while the other needs. There is no "the want's of the few out weighs the needs of the many.".[/quote]
1. France is pretty restrictive on vehicles. Consider that for vacation.
2. His reason is his business. Not yours, or mine..
3. I'm sure he appreciates your gracious "by all means go right ahead". It takes 6 pages because this country is about freedom. And you have the right to say what you like, and I have the right, to suggest, for example, a baffle for you. But I didn't. His question was not...Do loud pipes save lives, it was how do I pull them. But since so many of us love to hear ourselves talk, me included, its spillled on to 6 useless pages about preferences. Which is all it's about. We just got to hear about yours a lot. I realize this site is made up of street bike riders, old ones. Whenever I go on a ride with the guys here in SoCAl, its clear. They are great guys, and are understanding that I didn't want stock. Because it's MY bike. And I, am an old street bike rider. But have moved on to other things.
My apologies to all for the rant. I usually don't. I just feel this guy got a raw deal, and hopefully, he hasn't left the site. The diversity here is TRULY a great thing.
Ride well!
