I think, you should put flashing warning lights on it.

You'd think the bright green would be good enough, but no... just makes it a target.

sorry about the bad luck...you want tha thing louder,take the baffles out

[rich]

I drilled two 3/8" holes in the end of each muffler. Sounds about right now. It was just too sewing machine quite. However, a quite muffler really gives you an appreciation for the quality of the engineering and tight tolerances that went into the engine design and manufacture. Just amazing when you can rev a 33 year old engine to 9000 RPM and not hear one clank, clunk or rattle.

9000!!..crazy..i never reved a bike that high

[rich]

Redline is 9500. I was easy on it. LOL.

Have you tried taking the baffles out and shortening them or taking some of the packing out? Would keep them looking stock but make them louder

[rich]

Sold this old girl today. Haven't ridden it years. Carbs were all gummed up. Now I need to do something with my three K7s, 550f and Goldwing. They all need to go.

Oh NO!! I hope this is not because of health issues.

No. Just lost interest in them after my son died in 2015. Going to retire soon and travel via RV. So the bikes are just rusting away, they need to go to good homes.

Sorry to hear about your son. I lost mine in 2002. The RV life is really neat. Toolbabe and I lived in a camper for two years. We met a lot of great people at campgrounds and were able to see a lot of attractions. You know, a bike would be a great way to explore the places you go.

Thanks. Sorry for your loss as well. I'll be dragging a Suzuki Samurai behind us. Don't think I'm going to get rid of my house so I'll keep my SOHC bikes and make at least one nice one out of them.

A Suzuki Samurai! I want one of those! I have a Sidekick and just love it but rust is killing it. I am just finishing up a Honda z50 Motard conversion for a guy that has just sold his house and is going to be traveling in a motorhome. He is going to pull his Jeep and have the z50 on a rack behind the Jeep. Should be a lot of fun at the campgrounds.

I got lucky and found one that lived in Arizona for most of its life.

It even has petroglyphs on it


Also got a hard top with it

Real bad case of envy going on here.
