1979 XS650 Special
I'm starting a slow search for an XS650. I live in Suburbia and one of the things I intend to use this bike for is going to the gym at 5AM when my kids and not a lot of neighbors are awake. I hate it when loud crap starts before anyone is out of bed and I don't want to be that guy. Has anyone actually made an attempt to make the bike quiet? At WOT it can scream, but at put-put speed i'd really like it to be quiet.
