How ruthless can you guys be? Digging it up and try to hi-jack the thread, and turn it into a pipes discussion, too?? lol

Lock this baby up.

I just keep my high beams on all the time. Why bother with all this crap.

Wait!!
I figured it out...
If you go back to Post number 7 in this thread, the person mentions hooking up both headlights and poking holes in his exhaust for safety... (paraphrased)

Now I see where the exhaust info is originally injected....

I agree, it's a big safety issue, dual low beams. Not a good idea.

On high beam they are so bright, the light merges and it appears as one, unless you are really close.

That's also why some bikes have over and under beams, or one large and one small. Something to look odd to oncoming traffic.

Someone smart fella had posted that they'll keep their headlights on 1 eye and just "drill out the mufflers" so people can hear them comming..
which is BS.
yea.. off topic.. but i cant stand the flat out mega retards that walk around saying they arent rude jerks because they took out their baffles.. they're "SAFE"... its complete BS.

I WILL STRIKE DOWN ANYONE that claims "loud pipes save lives"
i got a jack ass driving down my street more than once all loud on his sport or harley..I'm likely to adjust his life span. Just sayin.

Good one, Hippie!

yea.. I pretty much hate you sport bike jockeys. ANd what really sucks, while on my fz6 "standard" motorcycle. I get lumped in with the sport bike crowd.. and everyone thinks i'm an 18 year old psudeo employed metrosexual with a small penis and something to prove.. when i'm really much older with an average penis and am quite the dirt ball yet gainfully employed.
but loud pipes do nothing than put you on the outs with your neighbors.

Maybe you've never ridden on the road to notice that you cant hear a bike till it passes you.. and thats only with the windows down. I realize that most sport bike riders picked up their bike after seeing Biker Boyz or whatever and are just trying to look cool. Unfortunately in those kind of crowds.. cool but inaccurate info gets passed about. Just trying to drop some truth on it.

Anyway i'm done.. I was looking for something else when i stumbled on that post in a google search. Deleting this bookmark from my browser never to be viewed again..
