|  new here Hi to all. Just found this site tonight. Looks like a real good place to find help and info for my new project, a 1979 Suzuki GS550 L. Supposed to take delivery of it this week sometime. Looking forward to parking it next to my 1981 Yamaha XJ750 Seca. After it is rebuilt I hope to have the fun of deciding which one to ride to work each morning.  |

Figured I would through this out here now because I know I am going to get slamed for it, but got a 97 GSF1200 for first bike. Would not have gotten it but it was only $500 couldn't pass it up. Already got full Gear, signed up for MSF corse and have empty parking lot to learn on.

| Hi All, I just purchased a new C90SE. I have only ridden it once and so far it seems like a great bike.... but.... it sounds like a sewing machine. I would like to put a different muffler on....with a sound midway between a Harley and the stock muffler to let me know I really have 1500 CC's underneath me. Any suggestions from the secondary market? Tx in advance, Jim |

| MrJim56  Give your pipes a chance to breakin, they start to sound better at 4,000 to 5,000 miles. Lots jump right in and change pipes and then find they do not like them. Just give it a chance. Ride safe and enjoy. |

| Welcome to SBF Pieter and Mr. Jim56. Jim. This subject surfaces every few weeks. There are currently a few threads addressing pro's/ con's of exhaust mods in the cruiser sections, both in the C and M series. The search feature will allow you to dig even deeper. Enjoy!

| Hi Pieter, Are you in Windhoek or out in the bush somewhere? My girlfriend was in Namibia about 6 years ago, and really wants to go back again. Welcome to S-B.com!
