I have 2003 speedmaster, i live by the creed loud pipes save lives, i have straight through shotgun pipes with no baffles, they are pretty loud in fact ive never had another bike come close, some people do find this obnoxiuos and i can understand that but the reality is that people drive around in tin cans with duff duff music playing and they dont hear you and so dont see you, i think this is a personel decison but i love the rumble of mike speedmaster it sets off car alarms when i ride down city streets, trust me the police really dont care, even my neighbours dont care they think it sounds sweet although i am cuatiuos not to anooy anybody. i cant hear my friends motorcycles i think it so dangerous not to be heard. Ride Well, Live Longer !!!
