D&D. The worst exhaust a person can pay money for. LOL

I'd like to see her face before seeing her ass.

I'd love to buy some older bikes. I see tons of 'em on Craigslist. I just saw an 86 GSXR1100 that looked like it came off the showroom floor. And a nicely modded TL1000R. But my problem is I would never sell them, I would keep them.

"And I don't bat 1000: About 1 out of 10 or so I may break even or actually lose money. Sometimes it's because of hidden mechanical issues, sometimes it's because I've misjudged the market for that particular bike; sometimes I forget and buy based on what I like rather than what is best for a quick turn (Like that snazzy Benelli; it's going to take MONTHS to move that, and I might take a bath; ...but what a COOL bike!).

Not on a Duc.

Nice bike, OTB.

I really love the SS bikes.

I love the 904/944 two-valve motors....buckets of torque, light and compact but easy to work on with enough HP to make things exciting, with a great feel and virtually no "issues" with the exception of too-small gauge wires from the alternator that causes some toasting of rectifiers; and some 95-97 motors had stretchy cylinder studs (fixed under warranty, usually) but if you address that wiring issue, change the oil and keep the belts current, they usually will run forever...

Smooth, even power delivery and hotted up Hi-comp pistons and a little flow work on the heads, Nichols flywheel and you have 100+ hp with 80-90 ft lbs of torque......in a package with a full tank of gas that can weigh in the 375lb range.....

Which confuses me, because they make the best snowmobile exhausts (and performace parts) in the world, hands down, but for bikes, they seem happy to make underperforming crap that is extremely loud, with horrible sound.

They pretty much make empty cans and the sound just echos inside them. Every bike I've heard with one sounded bad. I'd rather them just run straight pipe.

For sportbikes yes. I have heard some nice D&D pipes on a HD before. NOt recently though...

D&D exhaust sounds great on a Ducati.
On an CBR600, maybe not so much...
