Hey Peeps, How's it going? Love this bike... I go outside just to stare at it sometimes LoL, Like a new GF! HA! I heard something about drilling the baffles for a cheap/budget LOUD exhaust sound. Does anybody have any info on this for me? Very much appreciated.

Welcome killjoy! I drilled eight 5/8" holes in mine 2nd day I had it. Everyone says it's plenty loud, but until I can hear it over the wind at 70 mph it's not :) Nice easy mod that works well. If you don't know how loud you want it, start with evenly spaced holes at 3/8" and work your way up. But make sure they ARE spaced even...because if you get up to 5/8...there isn't a lot of room left :)

Welcome from OC. Plenty of videos on YouTube on how to do this. Have not done this myself as I waited to get a slip on a few months later. There is sweet deal on a slip on in the classifieds that I would have jumped on.

Welcome to the Stryker world from the San Fernando Valley. I drilled my exhaust before I made a custom slip on. Sounded much better than stock after I drilled the holes. Way too quiet stock. Enjoy your bike and the forum..

Thanx for the Welcome...

Thanx for the info and the new member welcome... I'm gonna start drilling some holes this weekend and see how it goes. Anythings better than the stock sound : ) Anybody in the South Bay Cali area, How do I find out about motorcycle rides? Charity or fun? I'd like to get out with a group of peeps and enjoy the California Mountains...

I'll take you out to Palomar and to Julian if you're up for a good long ride. Strykeback, Boolshot, and Wolf should come too.

Unfortunately this weekend I'm busy and I work most weekends. I'm just putting it out there that this summer I'd like to get together for a nice ride through Temecula and Palomar. Might be a bit of a stretch for Boolshot though, I dunno how far he's willing to travel.

That is far for me. Hard for me to get away too, I have my 7 year old every other weekend, and only see my girlfriend on the other weekends. I will keep an eye out .. and see when you guys plan something , and see what I can do.
