Cherry Bomb Glasspack mod

Gents,

I came across some seriously cheap mod for the ehxaust that quite a few people seems to be going and I wonder if you have come across it before and what you think about it.

It looks like a step further after abe mod and would cost less than 50 quid from what I gather, giving the bike slightly louder and low sound.
I'm at work and haven't managed to find anything decent on the YTube and I'll continue looking after work.

Good sound for 50 quid is something worth taking a look compared to £300+ for aftermarkets.

Any thoughts to share?

would be interested in seeing it

I've seen it on American sites before,But I've never heard of them over here, It's basically the same as Bluesman's mod with the wire mesh and exhaust wadding, Glasspacks come within a tube which you slide up the silencer to give a deeper sound, There's a lot more to after market pipes than just sound though, Header pipes are wider and they're normally tuned for better release of gases.

With sim.
There are various cherry bomb type of mods, here are a couple in the videos below. In reality, what have they done? de-baffled, de-micked & gutted them only to turn around and re-fill them. Seems to me like some modders have too much time on there hands.

My GOD! That mod by John sounds good!!!!!!

How did I miss that!

That's exactly the sound I'm after...low and rumbling.

Woooooaaahhhh I'd say.

Love it love it love it...and it probably costs next to nothing.

i like the sound of these guys,but it annoys everyone lol,but only seems they apply to harleys.no mention of the superb suzuki 800 .

Harleys, "metrics", bicycles, sledges...who gives a big F.

I didn't exactly buy a shiny, chromed f'in big ass cruiser to "blend in".
A lot of noise is part of the game.
And if money was no object I'd have a fleet of HD's next to other makes.

fag

Now, I'm not sure I appreciate it.

just kiding marcin

i find it funny how southpark take the piss out of harley riders.in my view the exhaust sound is what make me smile when i ride my bike.its a great piss take which should be taken for what it is. hope my sense of humour doesnt offend any of you loud exhaust mob out there because im one of you lol,.you cant beat waking a small village up at 7 in the morning on a hot sunny day. especially on a sunday.

I couldn't agree more. Some examples of over-modification on this forum but that doesn't mean we have not enjoyed ourselves in the process! I know someone who had really long pipes. He kept sawing away until they were shorties and then threw them away because he did not like the sound! Knowing when to stop is perhaps the mark of a top modder. I have seen some cruisers which quite frankly look like a dog's dinner or perform poorly and others that are spot on.

Paranoia is kicking in now :aghh: I'm not riding a "dog's dinner" am I

me to simbo,but then again modding your bike,makes it yours and theres only one in the world like yours.i love modding and feel proud i turn my ideas into practice.my bike looks ten time better than i bought it.my wallet is ten times lighter lol.

Well I'd buy your bike Sim!

I think its true some modding is done for the sake of it and some is done too far and thats fine as long as the peron that did it likes it. I have read loads of mods over the internet that are total crap and would make me frown but as long as the owner is happy with it, then all power to him. Thankfully crap mods on this site are very far and few between but I have seen a couple and thought Oh my god what the hell have you done but even then I bite my lip and poke my tongue in my cheek and do my very best to find something good to say about it & the reason is simply because if they posted it then they must be proud of it & who are we to piss on their fire. My old mum always said if you have nothing good to say then don't speak and I try to abide by that.

My father always said, It's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think your an idiot?, rather than open it and confirm the fact ! God bless his soul

I'm not going to sell it John, But if we ever meet up ? I'll gladly swap for an hour to have a blast on the gsxr

I find Site Rule Number 2 a very useful one:

2, Please do not post negative content with regards to another members motorcycle.
unless it is genuine constructive criticism

It helps keep things in control. In fact I have a look at the rules from time to time to remind me of my obligations. If any new members have not seen them - have a quick look:

This site is as strong as its fundamentals - in the current form the rules are few but simple enough to follow and make things self regulating.


A nicely oiled machine, this forum, like a well serviced bike!
