      I like the sand blasted calipers and the mural of the half naked man on the rear fender.

                They are not that much different than the stock exhaust sound, but to me, they have a buzzy characteristic. Not a bad thing or a good thing, just differerent.

                Slightly less throaty than stock, but smoother.

                Decibels seem similar to stock.
