    It sounds good! I have a Yamaha Royal Star tour deluxe with Sharkroad pipes. They are louder than stock and on my bike it sounds like a V8 muscle car. I take my bike on long trips and I recently rode from DC to Tennesee and back with the pipes. I wear earplugs, but the sound didn't bother me for the 500 mile trip down and 500 mile trip back. I do get the drone sound in my modular helmet, but when I wear my half helmet, its not a factor.

    • @moto_989
      @moto_989 3 месяца назад

      I've noticed when I wear my half shell there's no problem with the droning because of the wind. But in my full-face lid it can definitely get annoying after a while. However, with music playing in my Cardo it's easy to tune out that droning. happy riding!

    I had the Ivans Flash on my bike and hated it. It was never right after that and I sold it 3 months later. Yours sounds really nice.After the flash mine sounded terrible when you rolled on the throttle. I was unlucky with mine which was a 2019. The bike doesn't run that hot its just that it's a lot of very hot exposed metal close to your legs. It won't break without the flash.

    • @moto_989

    I’m starting my second season of riding with Sharkroads on my Vaquero. Made a huge difference. Our two bikes sound identical. K&N Air Filter, Ivanized (ECU) and Sharkroads definitely made my Vaquero a more fun ride. I also changed up the stock bars with mini apes. Vulcan bag liners make travel (packing/unpacking) that much easier. Ride safe and thanks for sharing.

    @outandabout1325 5 месяцев назад

    Put on my 2023 voyager.. the way to install is to put back bolt in first. Then get a ratchet strap to put around back of exhaust and put the hooks under the floorboard on the steel . Tighten the strap up snug. Set the bolt in the front hole and slowly pull on the ratchet till bolt falls in and you can tighten up. Repeat other side. I also done the Ivan tune. And for the summer in Texas I remove the lower fairings. Major difference. My temp sits at mark right after half. Upgraded to Polk 652db. 10” slipstream smoked windscreen, k&n airfilter, and grasshopper back rest.

    My bike history: Yamaha SR125 - learner cruiser (125cc max under uk law for learners). Decent enough, all 125s perform about the same (excluding 2 stokes) Kawasaki GPX250R - sports tourer (limited to 33bhp for 1st 2 yrs in UK unless you are over 25yrs old). Better than a restricted 600 Bandit or similar of the time, and much cheaper to ensure. Generally a good bike to own Suzuki GSX600F - 2001 model sport tourer. Great bike for general riding and motorway (highway) miles which is what I did a lot of. At the time couldn't stretch to a CBR600F or Thundercat, and the full fairing was more appealing than Hornet/Fazer/Bandit. Rode a ZZR600 loan bike during a service one time, which was generally a better bike; but other than slightly sketchy finish (bolts seize an rust), was a good bike. Harley Fatboy - rode a Heritage Softail and sportster 1200 on a couple of trips to Vegas. Suzuki was in bits in the garage by then, when I moved house I sold it and put the money towards the import HD. In the right moment, the HD is the best bike I've ridden...but I live in the sticks, lots of tight, twisty, gravel strewn, single track roads....I spend as much time fighting the bike as loving it

      I went from a Yamaha V-Start 650 to my Voyager 1700. it was a big jump for me and I stil feel as if I'm not entirely used to it despite the fact I've put on probably 7,000 miles since I got it.

    Where are you gloves?

      at this time I only wore gloves out of necessity. I didn’t like wearing them because I never felt as if I had a good feel for the grips. I wore them at the end because it was colder than I had anticipated. but now I have gloves I wear all the time.

      I rode the Street Twin after I recorded this video, and wasn't too fond of it. you made the right choice!
