We just got another ft off snow and have to much time to think about the bike.I was wondering if anyone has tried this with Mikes Commando pipes.
Drill small 1/8" hole thru the centre all the way thru . I find the Mufflers kind off restrictive
in sound and flow. I know a guy with same bike (77D) with the older Bubs mufflers
installed on the smaller and more restrictive head pipes.I think stock are just over an inch inside dia
than the stock Mikes tipped up at the end manifold pipes are around 1.5". The Bubs Muffs are a lot louder and
and much less restrictive than the Mikes Commandos I have. Our bikes have exact same compression numbers but his definitely has way more power from bottom to top. Are jetting is very similiar and same air intakes.
I cant help thinking that could be the reason his feels more powerful is the Commandos are to restrictive.
Has anyone tried opening them up a little and can advise results. Unfortunately Bubs no longer
makes these pipes. There is another Muff that Mikes sells the XS Performance reverse cone Megaphone
mufflers. I saw a guy last year with thease and they have much more bark than the Commandos,not sure about performance though.
