    Pics of my ride

    Had an awesome ride to the Vintage Motorcycle Museum here in Newburgh NY. Apparently the biggest one around. Bike from late 1800's til late 70's.

    My ride is the silver XS11....of course!



    The boys rides....

          Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.

            I bought the Mac 4 into 2 with the turnouts....too quiet so I removed the mufflers and ran straight out the headers. Was loud but noticeable drop in mid-range power. What's on there now are tips that are about 9" and have a small baffle inside. Love them! Got em on ebay. Mid-range is back and sounds awesome!

              Would love

              to see some closer pics of that setup and a link to what you used on Ebay if you have it. Are the pipes still fairly loud? Bike looks good.

                      Sorry for the late response. Here is the ebay link. Contact them direct for the size that you need. They have every size. They are not cheap,..but they fit great, have great sound (loud but not obnoxious) and look good. I got the double baffle which I highly recommend. Gives you just a bit more mid-range.

                      The ebay seller is radcyclesllc
