Just trolling you a little, you come off as a prick sometimes and I don't like to see new guys get run off. Buy ya a beer if you're ever in Dallas
I AM a prick sometimes. I'm pretty damn sure everybody is. Bound to meet a few rough characters in the biker community, might as well get em used to it.
Surely you don't want to see a 3 page thread discussing the best way to hack/rig an exhaust do ya? If everyone treads lightly, that's what will happen. But the only really GOOD answer for an amateur is to not modify the stock exhaust, end of story. Especially on that bike. If my post was harsh enough to drive the point home hard and fast, then hell yeah, I'll do it again. The posts arent just for the O.P.'s, they are for anyone about to ruin a good bike by cutting off their exhaust because they think 6 lbs will get it to wheelie, or loud pipes are the bees knees, or damn but it looks soooo cool.
And the rants, they are always about the MOST BASIC stuff. Dont chop your pipes short unless you have REAL tuning skill. Dont build a bike that slams the rear hoop onto the rear tire when it hits a bump, dont use 1929 Model A tires on your "high performance" motorcycle. Don't pull engines apart for funnsies. Use a fender where a fender was intended. Stuff like that deserves to be ridiculed, because it is spreading like a plague in the "biker" community, and it must be stopped. If you think these hipsters cant run through and scrap all the vintage bikes out because they made soooo many of them, you are wrong. There are lots of hipsters.
Thanks for hangin in there coyote, it actually let me explain why I do this sometimes, and why it will happen again. It's for the kids. ;D
The beer will be accepted and the gesture returned as many times as neccessary
