Can I make the Shawdow louder? - Page 2 - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

When I purchased my 750 ACE, it already had Vance & Hines pipes which give it a nice low rumble. A few soccer moms have looked irritated as I've interrupted their phone calls but that's only from stop lights and getting up to speed. At highway speeds it won't matter and during morning rush hour, the cagers can't hear a thing.

^ x2. I'd add that a taillight modulator and maybe adding/converting the rear signals to red turn/tail/stop lights would be a good rear visual defense.

I'm with Joe. All the V-twins I have owned, have loud pipes. But I ALWAYS run with High beams on. I'm considering a Modulator on my Voyager.

playing cards so they hit the spokes. Sure sounded nice 50 years ago.
