A gentleman named Nowhere Man found a pretty cool muffler that he attached to his bike. Very inexpensive.
You can hear the sound clip over at the F6C forum.

Looks interesting. I would like to see a pic of the Valkyrie they are mounted on....and hear/see a video clip of them at a closer distance than what that audio clip seemed to be. Nice hot rod pipes tho.

I was thinking about something a bit different and as seems to more the case lately people misrepresent a product. I would not care for the drone at all on a long trip, similar to the two brothers exhaust. As for school many tried no one did.

Sorry if I ticked you off in my original reply, sometimes you share some good information.
But in this case I was actually thinking of getting a different exhaust and being technical and knowing there's not much out there to change to and heard muffler I was kind of interested. So was disappointed when it turned out to be tips and my reply was a bit short and to the point. Wasn't trying to cut down the idea or that they are pretty cool looking though. In fact I was wondering they could have been mounted to a short muffler and would be quieter and something different. I just cannot take the drone though and its so hard to design anything for these bikes that does better than the OEM stuff. So no problem here.
Everything on these bikes seems to start with a idea or concept by a few individuals. They become the MFG's of a different parts like Bill and it turns out to be something good. We have limited options from Honda not unlike the 1500 when it was very popular but it was these people who made the bike what it was. People who saw the potential and a missing piece of the puzzle and took the time to make or design a part. When I sold my bike I looked and what made my bike special and better for me was the aftermarket parts that some had the vision and idea to make. The belly tank, tube toppers,fork chrome covers, jet kits, and many more ideas that turned my bike into a great bike.
People like Bill and Pego are few and far between in this world and represent and design some pretty amazing things. I have never been quite so creative but can repair almost anything. I have learned to respect the fabricators since I and others have benefited from much of their work and design. So in a long drawn out way I guess when I see something represented as one thing and its incomplete to me, I guess I dont hide my thoughts to well. Sorry again, we may have different ideas and ways but that doesn't mean we dont share a common interest in motorcycles or mods to them.

Robert, I totally agree! There is a lot of good info here! Unfortunately our bikes do not have a lot of options because of the low sales. So we do need the innovators and they are much appreciated. I mistakenly wrote Muffler. My bad. While I was playing the sound clip, my wife commented that the sound hurt her ears. I noted, especially in the cruise section of the lower rpm's that it would eventually become quite annoying. Actually that would be pretty cool once and a while, but only if you control it by using a baffle insert. I had a 56 Chevy with a 283, bored to a 301 that had a drone. But that was cool. I loved the sound of that car, but that was when I was in my twenties, and I did not go long distances. Cruising on the Valkyrie, especially with my wife on board with those end pipes wouldn't go on for long! Sometimes my alpha mentality gets in the way of proper communication. Yeah, my wife tells me that too! So, I also apologize!  I love you, man.

On a side note: Goldie, I used to spend time on the other Valkyrie site, but now it's so chocked-up with adds it's enough to gag-a-maggot.  Not sure how you can stand it??
