I shed my stock exhaust on the 850 many moons ago and installed the 750 type with no balance pipe, also at this time dumped the ratty holed pea shooters for some shorty muffs. These have been gutted for years and are truly loud when the right hand is fully twisted.... Well I thought it to be running great, although always staying a might rich and noise fatigue being awful after 30 or so miles.... The crux of the biscuit now... Last week welded 7" extensions onto mufflers thereby taking them 3" past rear axle... Still very loud, but perceived noise is not noticeable when riding. Added to this the slightly rich situation has practically vanished, and most impressive is that the acceleration seems to have increased quite a bit.... Tell me it's my imagination and that I just like the drop in noise level.... I'm getting older now and therefore could be imagining all of this perhaps as senility and wishful thinking consume my grey matter.
