    Methinks the seller's a bit confused about what "header pipes" are. What I
    see there is a half-system. If the headers were, indeed, there, the $900
    asking price would be merely on the steep side instead of firmly in the
    neighbourhood of "Look, if you're going to jerk me off, at least do it
    properly and play with my balls a bit, too".

    Look, I know what I like and I know how I like it, OK?
    Ebay, Zebee. Normal rules of retail don't apply... why settle for getting
    something cheap when it can be dirt-cheap?

    Thanks moike
    Unfortunately staintunes sound way too raspy on the s
    Heard a few with the tunes on them and even without the spuds they were
    too "high pitched" in sound for my liking.
    What I am happy about tho is that hopefully we'll see more of these on
    the market.

    That reminds me. Next time I'm down your way, you're giving me a go of the
    tractor, mofo.

    IK,
    a connoisseur of all the meats of the motorcycling stew.

    Just to prove that further, I shared a bowser yesterday with a low-rider.
    Owner came out, walked back over to it and I went, "Nice bike, dude."

    No <snorfle> about it whatsoever, Moike. The bike was as minimalist as that
    black square on a white background that that Russian bloke painted, all
    dominated by engine and slashcut drainpipe exhaust crack. Best of all, it
    was actually_small[1]._Very well-executed. I dug it a lot.



    [1] One thing that people kinda miss is just how compact big-bore Harley
    engines are. The reason they look so huge usually is because they come with
    transfer cases and gearboxes which belong on (actual) farm equipment. Mate
    it to some more condensed componentry and you can have quite an engineering
    statement.

    Yeah, picking on BMW riders like that. We've got our own steenking
    gearboxes.

    not worth a squirt of piss, makes it too quiet :)



    (about $35 each last I checked, 6 years ago)

    Fitted the pipe J5 sold me, after some rooting around. It was a pretty
    straight forward job once I worked out where all the bits went. Quieter than
    the Staintune, but looks better.
