is that a "cherry bomb" (glaspac) i see?? if it is does it rattle the neighbors windows??? think im goin down to checker auto parts and see if they got an 1 3/4 " glaspac

Thumperclone:

Yep, that's a cherry bomb/ glass pac.  At idle it's not too loud.  You can talk in a more or less normal voice if you are standing near it.  If you get on the throttle, though, it is loud as hell.  If I am cruising at constant speed, say 35 mph, it is quite reasonable, volumewise (one of my non-motorcycle pals who was evidently riding behind me in traffic w/ her window down told me so ).  God forbid it backfires... haven't found a real good way to seal it to the header.  Been using red permatex.  Get small leaks...  I got my cherry bomb  from Jegs . com  I also attached a thumbscrew inside the CB to get a little more backpressure... plus the old school guys used to do it so cops couldn't stick their billy clubs down their straight pipes to see if there was a baffle.  One good thing about the volume on heavy accel is that it keeps my speed down in town...

I love the long azz pipe WD has on his, with the fish tail.  If I go w/ apes, I will prolly try and find a longer GP and weld on some fins.

Sluggo:

Your bike has way more class than mine.  I'm sure we both get looks when we are bopping around.  Just different looks.  Despite the fact that my bike looks completely uncivilized, I am civilized (more or less).  I don't really go in for the "biker" image/look/ lifestyle... nor do many of us on this site...

Steelwolf:

I couldn't do 40 miles on the stock seat w/o having to get off or sit on the hump.  I love the metal seat.  I sit on my butt and haunches, not my tailbone like the stocker.  No shocks is a little rough, but not too bad.  Just gotta watch out for the really nasty potholes.  At the right speed, you just kinda bop over the general bumps and it's not bad at all.  It was also important to bend down the edges where my thighs kinda hang over.  I think sluggo suggested that...
