Im thinking about buying these for my bike...

apperently they will make it a bit louder. I dont know why, I just feel the bike should have a bit more of a voice. heres a clip of them installed on the same bike as me...no one is going to mistake it for a harley or a bigger Vulcan anytime soon, but I think for the price, you cant go wrong.

You gonna have to re-jet for these? "Heavy-gauge steel helps reduce backpressure." I thinking this is going to lean out the mixture some....?

From what I have been told from some Vulcan 500 owners on the Yahoo group I belong too, you dont have to rejet. just slip them on and go.

i complained about the knee armor being too low while staning in my Joe Rocket pants, and was told that this is normal, as they ride up a bit when you get on the bike. Just thought I'd share.

Nice pants.
