I pull my slip-on to do the same... 1 bolt, 1 tug, 1 loud ass bike...

Or leave it on and have an equally loud, but deeper and less-carrying tone to it. Seriously though I work till 2 am monday through friday, and my bike is quieter than my car (Subaru w/ fart can and a stripped header bolt = leaky loud heads).

I am guilty also when I had the competition baffle on my bike I would Buzz the Harley shop about 4 blocks away in 3rd gear. The Saturday Paul Teuttle crowd would all turn and look. I should film it and post it. Sometimes there are over a hundred of them...Russ
