Hole saw mod ... finally did it - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

It was pretty much as easy as everyone, and all the vids, says. All that I needed was a 1 3/4" hole saw (already have a very good drill) and 12" extension for the front pipe. I like the sound (i don't want it to be too loud so this was perfect) and felt zero difference in power when riding.

Congrats on pulling the trigger. I did it and can't be happier with the results.

Before I purchased my bike last month the seller was saying it sounded like a Harley and it sure did. However, I did not know until I watched a drill out video a few weeks ago that mine had already been completed as there were no baffles in the end of the pipes.

Can't afford pipes right now, so planning on hole sawing mine in the near future. If it sounds near as good as some others I've heard, I will be very satisfied.

What style of bike? I saw some posts on this suggesting a 2in saw. When I tried on my phantom 2in was a little big.
