    Some more info: Look inside the muffs from the entrance end with a light. You will see a large solid donut shaped solid baffle that holds a perforated tube in the center of the muffler. The large donut baffle has a couple small holes drilled opposite each other about half way between the center tube and the outside skin of the muff. Use a long shanked half inch metal bit and the two small holes as pilots to drill two half inch holes in the large donut baffle. Then carefully drill two more half inch holes opposite the first two, being very careful not to allow the bit to wander (you are drilling at a bit of an angle!) and penetrate the outside skin of the muff. That’s level one -- four half inch holes in the large solid baffle, accessed from the entrance of the muffler. I suggest you put about 500 miles on them before you form an opinion on whether they're loud enough or not. If they were taken of the donor bike before they were broken in they will burn in and get louder over time. Give them a while before you decide, then if you want you can drill them out some more with the 11/8" hole saw as was mentioned above.-Jack

    Go to Ace hardware and get a long 1/2" drill. They make one long enough to reach the baffle. It's about 14" long. The one I have has a turned down shank to fit a 3/8" drill. -Jack

    March is when we normally get our heaviest snows here in GA. In 1993 we had a blizzard in March with over 2 ft of the white stuff!-Jack

    I put on the Show Chrome windshield thats 4" shorter than stock and about 3" wider. I like to have a windshield I can see over if I have to. I'm 6'1". So far no complaints from the back seat. She's 5' 8". Helmet style can also effect the amount of wind buffeting you experience.-Jack

    If an 80,000 lb semi truck can hydroplane, an 800 lb bike can hydroplane.-Jack

    That's one reason they put saddle bags on these bikes! It gives you room to stow your gear!-Jack

    The girls say the bike rammed THEM. How many times have you heard of a bike intentionally ramming a car? This kid buys a new bike and 1 week later he's going around ramming cars? I don't think sooo.-Jack:no-no-no:

    It seems the shooter has a history of being stupid with guns. Big suprise!-Jack http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/030108/news_2008030100208.shtml

    12 gauge wire is larger than 16 gauge. The lower the gauge the larger the wire diameter. The same goes for sheet metal or anything else measured by gauge sizes.-Jack

    I'll stay on top of this to see how it develops, however, if he shot the kid in the back, he posed no immediate threat to the man. A murder charge is a near certainty IMO.-Jack

    If I am target shooting in my back yard and an errant shot kills someone 1/2 mile away do you think it will be called an accident by law enforcement? NO! I will be charged with manslaughter or ciminally negligent homicide regardless of my lack of intent. The same rules should apply to motorists who kill another through their negligence.

    Maybe this is a dumb question but why not just have the whole shebang shipped directly to you and then sort it out yourself?-Jack

    I think I would take it to my dealer and try to get it fixed under warranty. You shouldn't have things breaking under normal use.-Jack

    We have the $59.00 J&M's and have been happy with them so far.-Jack

    Congrats on the new bike! What color did you get?
  22. royalstarjac
    They do supply a harness. It's mostly plug and play. You do have to tap into a wire. Which one depends on when you want them to work as was mentioned above. Also if you decide to go the relay route as many of us have it will be a little more complicated. I just installed mine on the RSV last weekend and I'm happy with them. Took it out for the first time last night. I need to get them aimed right though which may be a pain since there's no simple way to do that without disassembling the lamps from what I can tell.-Jack

    I could not believe how much quieter mine got after changing from Brickstones.

    That looks like the 4 piper on my 97 RSTC.-Jack

    Your mom is in our prayers. We have been through this sort of thing also. God bless!-Jack
