Thanks for the video! Very helpful and just what I needed! Stock exhust sounded good but I wanted it louder and this did just that! Sounds amazing!

@NC700_68 4 года назад

i thank you for this very informative and clear video. i like how deep the sound is even when it is original. i am soon going to see if i can fit the stock exhaust of the VT 600 on my VT 500.

@camilberculescu 3 года назад

Ay man. I really appreciate your work. I just did the same thing with my Shadow 600 1994... after you (kind of hard work, I already gave up) and it’s a really big difference. I just followed your video. I do not feel it too loud to be honest. For sure will need some modifications on the carburettors, but it is not a big deal at all. It feels like it’s a different motorcycle. Great video. Best regards.

As an old 80’s Harley owner and now a 07 Shadow as well, I can suggest lowering RPMS to mimic that “potato potato potato” lovely sound of the HD, if that’s your thang 😎 My Harley sits as I now just ride the Honda! Better build, better ride, more fun! Still keeping the HD for those days I feel like a masochist 😆 😎 Hope this helps some knucklehead 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

@aroundonabike5028 10 месяцев назад

Thanks buddy! The Honda is sold since a few years, but I appreciate your advice and that you took the time to write. Cheers!

@user-tv8nm3cb6m 23 дня назад

That is a REALLY bad idea, as tempting as it sounds and as common as Honda Shadow owners do it - in the manual they state that the idle should be set at 1100 RPMs, +-100 RPM, because that's the RPMs at which the oil pump starts working. TJ Brutal Customs recently released a video mentioning this very fact - that lowering the idle RPMs on your Shadow is a sure fire way to ruin your engine, in the long term

@zjedinite 22 дня назад

@@user-tv8nm3cb6m you are not wrong, but manual!? 😂 In theory it would be harsh on the motor if you just let it idle, but in practicality who does that? At most at a red light, you can slightly lower it to a happy medium without any damaging effects. I believe in my statement as I’m putting my motor on the line. I’m super happy with my sound 🤷🏻‍♂️ not potato but potato chip 😂 I appreciate the manufacturer’s recommend advice, it’s good for people to know and make an informed decision.

@prettyhickey_ 2 года назад

I love this video. It’s the most helpful. Instead of removing the exhaust what did you push back to Make room for the drill

@aroundonabike5028 5 лет назад

@@FilipGereg Well... actually I am going to go for the MOT any day now so I'll get to know if it's to loud to pass. I'll let you know. I do have a pair of original to swap to in case it doesn't. In Sweden most have their loud pipes on the bike all the time appart from the day of the MOT and nobody I know has ever been fined for being too loud at a road side inspection by the Police.

Would anyone know if I could just drill out the spot weld and not use a whole saw bit and get the baffles out... just thinking about it not passing inspection and just putting them back in and putting a screw through the spot weld hole.

@aroundonabike5028 3 года назад

I actually don't know. I know that some people has made it possible to put the muffler back for the MOT, but I didn't have to as it passed anyway.

@rogermccain3625 4 года назад

I have find out on mt shadow 600 1994 that i have 2 holes on the down side of the stock mufflers. This is how it should to be? Or the previous owners drilled it?

@aroundonabike5028 4 года назад

Hey mate! That does not sound right. There are no holes down the side of the mufflers originally. I think the previous owner made that to make it sound better... I'd be careful bringing that to the MOT...

@victorvonzell360 Год назад

I was debating if I should do that to my 1100 shadow and now that I see your I will try it but I do have questions 1. Do I need to reset it before hand 2. Does it need to be adjusted through the idle down or up Any assistance will help

@aroundonabike5028 Год назад

Thanks Victor! I didn't reset or adjust. Some people say you should, some say yiu don't have to. Mine was running fine after the modification so I'm inclined to believe you don't have to.

@vladdy8313 3 года назад

Hello all, I have Honda Spirit 750 2007 (injection) with the original exhaust pipes - I asked a mechanic to "make the sound better" and he did - by cutting half the muffers out. The bike sounds good, but it lost like 50% of its potency and it really really runs weak like hell. Is there anything we can do fix this problem? Some sort of injection modification? Or any other adjustment? Thank you very much in advance

@aroundonabike5028 3 года назад

Oh man! I feel for you. I'm not 100% sure about injection engine but I'm guessing you'd need to remap. The engine needs a certain air flow to get the correct fuel/air mix and that might be disturbed from the exhaust changes.

@ltbordo 3 года назад

you will need to re-jet the carbs, the main jet will have to go at least one jet size richer

@jimcarry9593 4 года назад

Is there any need to rejet the carb after doing this? I have to same bike and was thinking of doing this with mine.
