Default Here's how to fix the bags touching the pipes!

After buying this awesome machine you have to find ways to fix issues like the bags hitting those longs quiet pipes Suzuki uses. These pipes are good for stopping that annoying music coming from the car at the light or the driver to busy to see you because they are talking on their cell phone. The pipes are from Highway Hawk and the jet kit and Hypercharger from Thunder MFG with a Streamliner cover.

Ouch. My ears hurt just looking at that.

You might want to set your ISO speed higher or use a tripod.

Nice ride...pipes look pretty slick.
Bet your next purchase will be a good set of plugs.

I noticed riding with you, although you were backdoor charley, all I could hear was your pipes.

Those are called street sweepers, They do a public service as you ride.

HUH???? What did you say???? either plugs or a hearing aid!!!!!

After not really riding my bike for a while,, got it out last week and noticed just how loud it really is. OUCH!!!!! Not as bad as before,, but still loud. I can definately see why Doug thought it was loud.
