A friend of mine tried the Buell... so I jumped on his 1300cc Star cruiser and took these:

The Jardine is a bit loud for my taste (see my sound comparison test on my youtube, nickname wave135), but I got used to being obnoxious now! : D

Other than that I like it! Much lighter compared to stock, looks good, and I was surprised by the massive change in power delivery... with stock pipe it did not like low speed & low rpm (as in <4000), but the Jardine fixed that and it does not mind running as low as 2500 now... It did loose some power on top (noticeable), but the mid-range feels stronger, and again, it picks up a bit earlier.

This is all butt dyno, so it's subjective, but looking at the dyno curves, it looks pretty accurate...

The only thing I really don't like is that I understand you have to repack them often... like every few thousand miles so I should be up soon...

Dang, that's some nice country and some fine twisty roads. Looks like a fun day! B.
