Well I'm running a set on my traveling bike and at cruise they are very quiet with a nice civilized growl on accel. They are of complete Stainless construction and seem well built. Almost identical in noise level to the short TOR slashcuts they replaced, evidently they flow better than TOR s as I had to jet to 130 s and I'm still a froghair lean. Evidently they aren't that popular or more folks would be running them. Surprised to learn that.

What he said. But for $1200.00 U.S., not many are going to get to hear them. Most won't ever even see a pair in person to be able to appreciate the excellent build quality. They are beautiful pieces.

Appreciably loud on roll-on, yet unobtrusive at speed. Good upgrade over stock, but much tamer than the long TORs.

I feel very fortunate to have Staintunes on my '09 - they were on her when I found her, and I didn't even know enough about them to realize what a find that was at the time.

My '04, with the TORs, is the "rowdy" bike, and hard to beat for sh*ts and grins - it's real hard to not act like a hooligan on her.

But the '09, she's a little more polished, yet moves out quite well. I'm sure the '09 would outperform the '04, having the bigger displacement and EFI advantage, but the '04 is still the favorite of the two.
