New loud bits on my big suz,

Post by mike-s »

I bought that roo racing pipe off GRZX for a 1998 ZX6R and it fitted PERFECTLY to the RF, the little thing i was worried about as a lip turned out to be nothing but a removable expansion washer of some sort. Once it was in the box with my oem muffler the roo racing one fitted perfectly. Fired her up this morning and what a sweet note, I'm definitely going to have to get a custom spud made up to help take the edge off as it'd be sure to attract some form of unwanted attention.

Anyway, pics time.

oh and yes i know the chequering isn't pretty, but fuggit it was enough of a pain in the arse removing the other atrocities the past owner on the bike, i cant quite be arsed enough to remove these, yet.

In eight and a half years of running bikes with straight-through pipes, I've had a cop say something about it *once*; up the Old Rd, when the now-revoked unmarked-pipes law was still in force, as a cosolation prize for not being able to get me for speeding. These days, even that easy option doesn't exist.

Don't bother stressing over how loud your bike is. Nobody in a position to inconvenience you about it cares.

Truthfully i was more concerned with shitting off my neighbours in my units at 6am when i go to work/on a ride than with the popo, despiye them being a factor.

There's one neighbour in particular that made a complaint about my last bike shortly after i put on a new pipe one time i left rather early. Of course i found out about this about 6 months after the fact. Then again she'd make a complaint of someone farted too loudly *shrug*

Unless they've seen you acting like an absolute tool and they've got nothing else to pin on you. :twisted:
