Hello everyone, I am a member of VRCC France and the French as they look a lot more hesitant when it comes to transforming their bikes when it comes to snuggle a maid in a SOFITEL (  ), I wondered if some of you had the same taste as me manages to bobber. have a good day Yosh |

 Might be the same bike. My son likes bobbers, and this is the one he'd choose. Your English is better than my French, thank goodness. Welcome to the VRCC |

Yosh, love those pipes. I wanted a set of either Cobras or Two Brothers....both are six into six. Trouble is, I was overruled by the chief cook....she didn't want all that exhaust noise. I'd love to hear a sound byte of those pipes of yours. Overall, I like the looks of the bobber approach you have going on there. |

John, If you leave the baffles in, it's really not that loud. You ride solo anyway? If your wife wants to go, pop the baffles in.  That's why I'm very pleased with my new truck stacks with screw in cherry bomb mufflers. Mild to wild, just screw them in or out oops, got side tracked...Nice bike Yosh |

Mon Dieu!!!! C'est Beau!!!!! OK... that's about as much French as I know. I would LOVE to get my hands on an old naked 1200 Goldwing and do that to it. It would look good next to my Valk!!! Merci for posting pictures, mon ami! |

I'd love to hear a sound byte of those pipes of yours. Overall, I like the looks of the bobber approach you have going on there. Hi John, The mufflers are initially planned out for Harley. They are considered as "not noisy", but quite frankly, the first time I turned the ignition key after this change, I thought the police would fall on me after 20 meters. It's no laughing in France on nrmes sound, especially at this time .... Suddenly, I realize db killer tailored to each output (it starts getting expensive, that joke!). noise obtained is quite close to that of e one of your good old V8 and I like it a lot like that. The question is whether the cops will agree |

Merci for posting pictures, mon ami! Hi Cajun, You know, it's just a matter of taste ... it's also why I post on your site .... We are only few, in France, to dare to reverse our Honda so. Here one swears by the "strictly original" or adding any chrome stuff that are not very useful (aesthetics aside) Personally, I come from the roadster universe and I drive the Honda as if it was a real machine and not as a collection one. My friends often laugh when they see me coming on the go with what they call "my Sherman tank" , but after a few km of mountain roads, they laugh a lot less .... Yours |
