      Yahoo Shahoo

      I have spent an hour trying to gain access to the pics on Yahoo and after finally geting to the pics I get the "you don't accept cookies" message again and I'm shut out again.

      I guess I'll just figure it out for myself.

      I am SO HAPPY that XS11 has moved to this wonderful place.

          Cookies, I like cookies

          My computer is set to take cookies and has a ton of them. Yahoo just can't figure that out. I guess their programmer that did that part of the program was too busy making sure all the pop up ads would do their thing.

            Incanctus resurectus: Vita en corpum totalis!

            Ok, ok, I know my latin sucks. In any case, I'm resurrecting this thread. Had trouble seeing yahoo pics too, but would love to see what the fatboy muffs look like on the XS (since I'm tracking some down to replace my rusty baboon's muffs).

            Anyone with pics, help a brotha out...?


            Cheers,

              I think these are what you're after, I prefer the look of the longer setup myself, a bit more "classic" also would clear the saddlebags better.

                not bad! ...but does it say, "potato, potato, potato, potato"?

                Awesome! Thanks, Neil. I actually really like the look of both of those - kindof understated and mellow - not bad.

                I'm wondering how you tracked down that chrome extension you used? Do yours have the baffles in or out? Does it sound like a HD? What's the difference in sound between the two setups you have there? Any issues since you removed the crossover? Any advice in addition to the Tech Tips on how to do this?

                Cheers,

                  i looked in ebay for fatboys, the pipes are different lenghts do you just cut them close, and they end up the same?

                    The pipes are close, but not the same. If you just put them on, it's hard to tell, as you have one on each side of the bike. I have a pair of harley mufflers I was going to put on daily ride, but the headers were so bad I just tossed them, and went with a 4 to 1.

                      I went with sportster mufflers but the look is very similar.

                        Sorry, I didn't make it clear, those are the pics from the old Yahoo group not mine.
                        Apologies to the owner(s) of the pics
