keep revving the shit out of that cold bike, good for it. sounds ratty like there strait pipes.

Ken,

most inspection places could care less about a mid pipe. Let that bad boy scream!!

I hope that's the case, because I run a catless setup as well. The R1 is a ball-cooker with them in. I honestly don't know how they'd be able to tell if they're in or not, but I don't (hopefully) anticipate any problems.

You're insane. Can't say I'm a fan of the sound but I'd have to hear it in person. It certainly sounds loud as hell.

You need a bike cover bud! I know the winter's almost over but you're welcome to borrow mine if you need one!

So bad.

Loving the part of the vid with the oil blow-by. I'm sure that engine has about a year of life in it under those conditions.

[FirstDuc-1098]

Idk I have been laying carpet all day and standing on a chair nailing fairings to the wall so I'm a lil slow.

[butcher bergs]

"laying carpet" eh?

Sounds............kinky.

Hey! Maybe it was...

[butcher bergs]

Go on...

[hondarider102]

another option is you remove the cat from the pipe it is in now, i did it on my bike, its really easy to do, take a screwdriver and a rubber mallet, use the screwdriver as a chisel and chisel away, took me about 20 minutes and i am cat free

[hondarider102]

the advantage is that come inspection time it looks stock and to quiet it down for the inspection just take some steel wool, put it in where the cat used to be and it will act as a cat for a few hours and then burn off by itself, just my 2-cents kenn, it worked well for me, i could probably help ya do it someday

[Kenn157]

Sorry my bad! Thats not my bike. I found someone on YouTube who has the Gladius w/o cat and muffler. My bike is nice and warm in the basement.

Below is my bike.

It's not about quieting it down, it's about the eventual emissions testing coming to us in the not-too-distant future.

You haven't been paying attention if you haven't noticed that many more motorcycles are being produced these days with catalytic converters and that trend will eventually cover all models in production....maybe even race bikes too.

Mark my words, when emissions testing becomes mandatory, there will be a TON of crying riders who thought it was a great idea to punch their cats out.

along with that there wouldn't be a grandfather type deal like with cars before 1996 there is no emissions??

We aint gonna punch the kitty out! It'll be removed with care just incase someday I'll have to reinstall it.

You gonna come over Bergs when G&L come?

[Kenn157]

I Femmkat and G21!

[Femmekat]

I Femmkat and G21!

And we you! How about next Saturday?

[Kenn157]

hmm Next Saturday...Isnt that Alex's 30th Party? We're going no? Let me check.

Just sayin....

Not saying "you" or "Kenn" or anyone, just saying who knows what Big Brother's plans are. One thing's for sure, there will be a day of mandatory emissions and punching the cat, IMHO, is generally not a good idea unless you don't mind paying upwards of $600 to correct "defective equipment".

[butcher bergs]

I come in my sleep.
