A lady I know who has one had the baffles removed so it's louder, but I don't want to do that either, I don't mind the bike being quiet
Shit this must mean I'm getting old
Yeah im with you, I love the look of the stock pipes, its part of the z1000 styling but i do need more noise, they are far too quiet.

I had forgotten this thread
And I've changed my mind since then, my bike still has the standard pipes, but they've been debaffled, and it's quite loud
But what a glorious rumble it makes, loving it

Hi mate
I only saw the last bit of the operation, but the used a bloody big metal pipe, they spot welded it to each baffles and bashed it out..
It seriously sounds bloody awesome now, if i had a way of recording it I would
Really nice rumble, it got rid of the jerkiness of the throttle and it definetly goes better

no chance..
cops up here will find any chance to defect our bikes, if they don't get me for the pipes, they would certainly get me for taking that off..
