Thing sounds awesome. I snagged this from a build thread on another forum.

There is some language in the vid,so don't click it if it ain't your thing.

That's a nice looking build.  Love the dual carb thing, and the manifold.  You're right: that's a great sound.  Imagine that noise at 9K on the tach.  *shiver*

Wonder what it would have sounded like after running a few more minutes without oil in it.

I am kind of partial to this video myself, this is the reason why I wanted 4-4 exhaust in the first place, but seems to be the common factor is these guys can't keep their bikes running, lol.



Rich, I'm sure if you changed your mufflers out for some glass packs you would be quite pleased

Whew boy! That thing sounds rough. Loading up and I dont think its even hitting on all four. Did you see him drag those loooong looooow pipes when he turned around? I could never get out my own driveway with that bike. I dig the tank and paint work thought.

if you watched the whole video it is "Fuck The World", lol. Yeah, definately running rough, but was the only video I could find of a 750 with 4-4 pipes on it that had the sound, even if it wasn't running right I still liked it, has a nice lower tone to it and is loud as hell, which I also like.

Btw, I once told my uncle I wanted my bike to sound like a Harley, he said pull 2 spark plugs out of it, lol.

F... the world,huh? Hmm,that's pleasant You know,I'll never understand those types of people. Why cant people just ride whatever style of bike they like? Why do you have to cuss,throw the bird,wear ( childish) halloween skull masks...etc...just to be a biker? Sheeesh,grow up.That's sad life right there.


Yeah,I agree,the pipes sound great. Sorry about the rant. Been hearing alot of ignorant crap about my chopper lately,guess I just needed to vent.Done.I'll be quiet. I hate ignorant people.

Lol, thanks for calling me ignorant bud. So does that mean you're not gonna put flamethrowers on your bike anymore? I think the reason people do that kind of stuff is to look mean and scary so they can hide behind that front and get to be someone else for a change. At least this guy did it with a Honda instead of a HD, shows that Honda can be just as tough.

Btw, I want all that stuff on my bike because I have always liked it, but am not gonna criticize someone for doing something different, I like seeing different things. I also like turning heads tho

I have also ridden bike wearing a girly jacket and helmet on an 81 Kawasaki KZ750, didn't care cause I was just happy to ride!

Nope. Nope. Didn't call you ignorant.  You do it cuz you dig it, not because it is the perceived image of cool. The fact that you understand the difference proves your not ignorant :)
