Ouch! Bet that left a mark or two.

At least wear ear plugs to minimize hearing loss. I had to wear plugs while riding because my ears were very sensitive to certain sounds after a while. Hearing loss is preventable but not repairable.

This may sound awful but it's no real concern. Between bikes guns and head trauma I'm pretty far gone on highs and mids, really don't plan on living long enough to suffer.

As far as exhaust goes, what about a glass pack slip on? With maybe a turnout extension? The gz is not a big bike and will never mimic one but I think most people could enjoy a low rumble at idle to a high whine on the top end.

That does sound awful. How old are you now?? You just may live longer than expected like I did. Passed my statistical due date 15 years ago.

A small glass pack may work beautifully. Not expensive either. Ear plugs are even cheaper by the dozen.

I have always liked the low thump of the thrush glass pack at autozone,only maybe 26 bucks.
that's why statistics suck, when I was early teen I was pretty messed up on dope and mad as a hatter, people were sure I wouldn't see 18. 22 now and kicked dope so now I guess I'm just a angry cynic. Life does have it's redeeming qualitys but for the most part there is enough suffering to go around and little hope to run with. The reason I love spinning wrench is because it is concrete and logic based,a great escape.

I plan on installing a fishtail pipe on it. I didn't like the look and sound of the factory muffler either. so I already change the sound now I want to change the look.

[akaert2002]

What did you do to change the sound
