Brummie, Just in case you missed the sound of my Speedy, come along on a little ride (follow link). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0QCRc4_nBM -BT
"Speedmaster" is a title not a name, - and the title is not plural.

Soon as he fired them up, I knew they were BC Predators! Then i clicked the more link over there (pointing right!) and sure enough....
Same pipes that are sitting in my garage. They'll be going on Janet's T upon my return from Daytona. They sound a LOT better in person.

Phil,
Have you heard the Predators on a Speedy or America. That Bonneville reminded me of the Dunstall pipes I used to install on my old parallel twins. They even sounded great on my '74 Yamaha TX650A. The Dunstall replicas are available on ebay for $150 with shipping. I'd rather just get the Predators and not take a chance on the imitation pipes. The Predators have 5 discs that you use to tune the sound. Just wondering.
Janet's gonna love that sound, once you get them put on her "other husband". Raynea calls my bike, "Your other wife".
Ride Safe,
Dennis
Triumph, it's how I live and what I ride.

I've only heard them on a Bonneville they had at the shop. As soon a he fired that baby up, Janet and I looked at each other and just grinned. I knew she was thinking the same as me "Oh hell yeah!!"

Nice sounding Bonnie. Either his helmet cam set up wrong, or he has a dangerous fixation on his speedo. I think I saw the road ahead once during the clip.
