The video really attenuated a lot of the higher frequencies. It's not nearly has deep as it sounds in the video... much more obnoxious. I'm hoping that adding some aftermarket baffles will help. If not I think I've found a few more mods that should quiet it down a tad. Plus the added backpressure should help the low end torque quite a bit.

you can get some baffle wrapping that is made of thin sheets of fiber glass, supposed to quiet things down a bit and improve the tone, never tried it just read about it.

I may end up making some homemade Thunder Monster baffles and see how those work. If I can just get rid of the loud high frequencies and get it down to a low rumble I would be happy.

Hello, Mr. Primal.

New bike looks great..
BTW, I saw your You Tube video about cam mounting.
Looks good, except some vibration.
Very clear looking output.
I wonder what is the camera and the video settings about clip.
Because, I have a plan to buy some cheap HD camcorder to get clean video, I'm curious about it.
Searched, most of them are some pricy for me....

The camera I have is a Kodak Zi6. It doesn't have image stabilization so its really not that great, but the mic is AMAZING. If I wanted a camera just for video I'd probably go with a Flip camcorder.

O.K.

Let me look at the Flip camera, hope it has some functions that I wanted...

Alright guys, the weather finally let up and I was able to take some updated pics. Since the last pics I have added the mustang seats, sissy bar, and fabricated a luggage rack out of aluminum from Home Depot (about $35 in parts).







Up next will be baffles for the pipes and sometime next week changing the tires. Then I'll be ready to ride!

As money permits I want to add a windshield, fabricate a light bar, and add some crash bars.

Are those seats comfy? Duh, I guess I need to ask you that after you have had a chance to ride it. Just noticed what you said about the tires and such.
