Sharkroad Slip-Ons for Kawasaki Touring 

I liked the sound with wrapped baffles....

Great info Craig!! I bought these pipes because of you! On Saturday I put the same Sharkroads on my 22 Voyager. The baffles do come wrapped and there is an O2 sensor plug now. So to eliminate 90% of the decel popping I blocked the Pair Valve inlet inside the R/H air cleaner. The hole is at 11 o'clock in the housing. A guy from New Zealand told me about this.....Absolutely works great.

I installed them on my 2014 Kawasaki vn1700 voyager, and the sound is great not too loud that it drowns out my radio and definitely louder than stock.

Wow they sound frigging wonderful! Great vid and my next bike hopefully

Wrapped baffles sounds terrific..thx for the video !

Sharkroad mufflers also have many models that fit Yamaha cruisers as well. I installed them on my 07 Yamaha Royal Star tour deluxe. I bought megaphones and put them on last year. I've been very happy with the and when I did it I decided to leave the baffles in. They are plenty loud with the baffles. Quality is good.

I was waiting to get pipes until after I got the ecu tuned. But this vid convinced me that the popping isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Bike sounds 100 percent better. Thanks for the info and the demo

Thanks for this vid! Great exhaust find for the Vaquero!

Beautiful bike! Im shopping for one now. I really like the sound both wrapped and not but looks like they now wrap them all. Thanks for the great info

I thought it sounded better with the matting. Very good sound. Thanks!

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.

The only difference between the wrapped and raw baffle that I could notice was that it removes the beating on the side of an empty steel drum echo. The sound quality is tighter and doesn't ring as much while maintaining the deep throaty character. I think that the packing also diminished the extent of the deceleration popping as well. I like the sound of the single wrap it has a great tone and if you didn't know what the bike was it could easily be mistaken for a Twin-Cam under acceleration and a Freedom Twin when idling. For the price-point I do not think you could beat them; the true test will be how they hold up over the long-term. Thanks for sharing; keep the shiny side up and enjoy.

I also liked the wrapped baffle sound best.

Sound best to me wrapped! Unwrapped was a tad sharp and harsh.. Sounds really good!! Good video!

They sound good. I would prefer a baffle because it gives some back pressure. Straight pipes u loose power. 2 into one produces the best power. But some like the dual pipe sound and looks.

Have them and love them.

I think the popping noise sounds good it’s like a trade mark on Japanese bike.

Second sound is better wrapped that is. Well done for the research.

They sound great not a noticeable difference between the wrapped and not wrapped. Great video I am picking up a voyager if I change exhaust it will be Sharkroad.

Sounds just like Freedom True Duals. Very nice!

I bought it and now I'm waiting for the Kawasaki foyger bike to arrive😍😍😍

The wrapped ones have a little deeper tone but both sound sweet

Good job on the video

Great sound..good choice

2012 Vaquero... just starting my upgrades

I like the wrapped baffle best

Just bought some shark road pipes. Getting ecu done after it. Looking forward to riding it

Cool waiting for my new 2022 model to arrive down here in new Zealand 🇳🇿 brought a 2014 nomad 1700 and like it so much order the new vaquero Cheers for the video

Great video and I listened via my iPhones audio - no headphones.

I am shopping for a 2022 Vaquero now and I have to be honest, I like the sound (at 8:28 ) as you pass at speed with the stock mufflers vs. what sounds like any typical harley exhaust. Helpful video, thanks!

Very nice

Standard for me, more mellow sounding.

Great video. I liked the wrapped baffle sound the most, it seemed to have a little deeper of a sound. I have a 2018 Vaquero 1700 with Cobra slip-ons and the sound was really good and after I had the ecu ivanized the sound of the exhaust changed to a little higher pitch sound, not bad, just different. P.S. Ivanizing your ecu is worth every penny. From what I have read in the comments you have being ivanized and I'm wondering, did you notice a sound difference and have you thought about doing a video to compare. I liked the comment on how people make it look so easy to do a youtube video, I did one for my bike and can see that I have to learn how to hold a camera, but I posted it anyways. Ride safe, enjoy.

Take thank you for the help and your videos I finally find the right pipe for my 2015 voyager I order the pipes I want to know a little bit more about the Ivan Thank you so much for your video

Love them made a few videos myself of them..

Damn thing sounds better than my stock road glide😂

Thanks for sharing Craig. Great video for those of us with this bike and SUPER helpful bro. Any idea how many Decibels the new pipes come in at? I have the same 2018 VAQ and am looking at a future upgrade as well with the Ivan flash. Let me know what you think of that upgrade too if you get a chance. Cheers bud

Thanks for the review. A friend of mine just told me about these. I just bought an '11 Vaquero and was looking for some aftermarket pipes. I don't know if it's just the video quality of most I've watched but the Vance & Hines and Cobras sound not so good compared to these. I like the sound of these but I must admit they gave me a little pause when I saw they were made in 'China'. Quality automatically pops in your mind from the chrome on down the list. But at around half what the others cost, I may give them a try.

I put Vance & Hines on my Kawasaki 1700. They were too loud! So I made a perforated baffle that blocks most of the tube in the middle. Put a 1/4 hole through center. Most of the exhaust has to go through muffler internals. Has a nice sound now.

The price and sound 👌

I liked the Sharkroads before you matted them. They have a really nice Sound. Take Care

I could tell the difference seems to take alittle of the bite out. I liked the way the sounded either way but if i had it on my bike it would be baffled

Hi !! Great job you did on your Bike, can you explain how difficult is the installation process. Thank you for your time , be safe 😷

Hey, great video. I was wondering what kind of seat and backrest your bike has and how like them?

I really like the sound of the wrapped. What did you use?

Sounds good. How long did it take to get exhaust from time you ordered?

Bike sounds awesome. My little brother is waiting for slip ons. Do you have a link to what you used? And was it easy to pull the baffles and wrap them?

The single wrap on the exhaust sounds better. Deeper and more consistent rumble.

Hey Craig, I am about to order a set from their website. My question is, when i messaged them they say that they wrap all their baffles now (sounded like they maybe did not before. Are these pipes something you do again if you had another Kawi? anything I should watch out for? do I need to order anything else? Any discoloring on your pipes (blue)? Did you end up get ivanized and if so, was that worth is as well? Thanks for the video, well done...

That was a fantastic video. Would that exhaust system fit a 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan nomad 1700.?

Hope you doing well , do you mind talking about your windshield like what brand and how high it’s look good from the video 👍🏼 thanks

👍

?? Do you know the difference between the slotted bad ass mirror (20c)and chiseled mirror (21) I’m wondering if is just the end tip or they sound different . Your comment is appreciated

Craig.. three questions.. do you still have the Shark Roads installed. are they baffled from the company now? Do you have the stock sound system and Can you hear your radio with the upgraded pipes

What wind screen do you have? I need a large one like that. Too much wind comes by with mine.

Like the wrapped sound better. Would love to put a set on my vaquero but illegal in this province of Canada.

What was the part number on your pipes?

I liked the unwrapped sound a little better. WTH wouldn’t Sharkroad NOT include a plug for the pre-oxygen sensor bikes?!

The wrapped sound was certainly better. The 1700s are way too quiet and 'tame' for my taste with the factory setup and tune. I have a VN2000 from 2006, just had it for a year and it has Cobras on it -and L O V E it. If I can get a 1700 to sound like the 2000, I will run to the dealer and get a 2023. :)

I bought these pipes for my 2015 Vaquero but the deceleration popping is driving me crazy. Did you get your ecm Ivanized and if so did it help. Thanks

It’s a sad and disappointing day for myself, I received my sharkroad exhausted for my vaquero expecting to get the same , As you show on RU-vid video , but I got different tip end and the sound is much quitter then your , my exhausted is total different. The company is going to replace the Tips anyway. I think my exhausted has the baffles wrapped but the sounds is quite 😞

Ps no matting sounds much better. Just found the website thank you

sorry for the ignorance, what is a "wrapped baffle"?

How did you pack the mufflers and im looking to get some for my motorcycle

I have a 2011 1700 Nomad. Just put them on in the Fall. Pops pretty badly upon deceleration. Help! (other than tuning?)

I ordered some for my voyager. They haven’t shown as shipped yet, and multiple attempts to contact sharkroad have gone unanswered. Did I just flush $449 down the toilet?

Hard to tell but are you feathering the throttle to keep the pipes from popping?

Just wondering why you are covering your plate when you can already see the number in another part of the video.

so does the baffle come wrapped or ya gotta do it yourself

what's the reason for hiding the plate number? Let me guess is MCLJ23! 'm I that good? Nice pipes though. love the bagger

I have a 2011 Nomad 1700. Was wondering what fits my ride also the part numbers if you have them? Or a link to their site would be awesome. So these are a simple slip on system is my understanding.. All help is appreciated..cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

No matting

Sounds GAF.

Oh hell yeah....I can do these....sounds better thN the freedom pipes

Can not find phone number

Stock sounds better.

Not sure if you know this but your tips are upside down.

SO NOT REALY A KAWAZAKI
