I installed a set of Specialty Spares slash cuts about a month ago on on my 2003 BAM, and for my money, they're perfect. A great idle sound, really deep and throaty especially if you stand behind the bike, and not too loud on the road, and it runs great. The HP improvement was noticeable right off the bat. I used Pat Whitbeck's webpage for guidance on re-jetting, and the bike runs like a raped ape now. Short of a big bore kit, I can't imagine what else I'd do to it.
Yeah, I run into a lot of Hog riders that are louder. It's ok with me, because I don't have to compensate for a small package, if you catch my drift. It's about the ride, not the noise, right?


Man, if I knew anything, I'd be rich and famous...
