I want something that sounds good and is loud but not annoying. I love the look of straight pipes that cut off below the pegs but I think that unless I have some sort of baffle in them, it will just be too loud. I like mufflers but I dont like how long the stock ones on the 500 are. If anyone has any suggestions or something that they have tried before I would love to hear about it, and pictures would be great too. thanks for all the great advice here. cody Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle. 1978 cx500 in transition to be a 1978 cx500 cafe racer    Report

They install fine aft of the H box. Not too loud but a bit more aggressive then the stock ends. Gotta say HD does a good chrome job on their parts.
