Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

too hot in the garage to work on the bike right now.
Well... I found out my rear turn signals weren't working last night (Thank you, Mister Cop. >.< ) and so I've been working on moving the front ones I have installed to the rear and ordering flushmounts for the front.
Oh, and put the new frame slider pucks on, too.

Dude! Your post is like knowingly wafting the smell of whiskey toward an alcoholic!I thought about ordering some bar-end mirrors from e-bay but then got distracted by something shiny.

After a few thousand km on the bike with a full m4 I have to say it is no nearly as loud as the Hindle I had on my 99 SV... I also think it has mellowed out some after a few miles on it...
I'd say it is about right volume wise... it could be lower in pitch... but that would make it a hindle... those things are great untill you open the throttle wide... after wich they scream bloody murder... but up to 6000rpm they are pretty civil..
Maybe I have got used to eardrum pounding cobra exhausts on my VZ800 Marauder... but I still think it is more mellow than when I first got it...
It is loud.. sure... but not obnoxious... and the cops shouldn't bother you about it...
you should hear my marauder vs the SV.... the drag cobra pipes are nasty.... not as bad as a Harley with drags perhaps... but it is loud none the less... my SV with the M4 is tame in comparison....
The Yosh r3 is a wussy sound not much better than the stocker.... the hindle is loud when you get on it... the M4.. is pretty good all around... once you get used to it... loud enough not to be too obnoxious... but not too quiet to be Yosh or stock quiet.... cops will be fine with it unless you go 7000-10,000rpm with it near them.... in wich case you deserve more than a noise ticket
I can't wait to hear mine after 25,000km more on the odometer.... my hindle was sweet after 30,000km...

Hmm. I'd be hoping for something probably not more than 120-130% of the loudness of the stock. I do a lot of riding in residential areas.
Has anyone put a noise meter to the various exhausts? Might be something to do at the next rally...

You pretty much have to. You can't do something like that and not document it. You're going to be about as wide as a Hummer.I think I can actually strap them to the Givis .. I'll post pix
I'm in the same boat. I leave at 4:45 in the morning, and my neighbors would hate me. I don't even care about how quiet the stock exhaust is, I just care about how big and ugly it is.

Exactly. Though the tone could definitely be improved a little too

Pulled out the carbs and put them back 3 times. Removed the slides even more times. Lots of trial and error trying to get the bike to run propery. Close, but no cigar.
