So far I think these pipes are the best I've heard on a C800. And they look spankin! They have a deep rumble close to the HD Potato Potato note. I love how it sounds like its immersed in water if you get what I mean.
The Violators certainly look the part, I think they suit the heavily modded bike more than a pretty stock one, but that's just my opinion, They sound good in that vid too, Front pipe heat might be a problem with the right leg?
'Violators' must be the greatest name for a pipe ever! As for Sim's awesome beast (the one on his bike I mean ) I always expect a cannon ball to come shooting out!
I'm not entirely sure Sim I've been told it's something you can put your bike gloves on so they retain there shape that's why I thought it would be quite useful as a sissy bar you know when you stop you could put ya bike gloves on it hahahahaha

sorry Sim Peter is right once your glove is on your sissy bar it has a mode that makes it shake about I've bin told this also dry's your gloves out
Doesn't the potato potato sound comes from an off set firing order and dangerously slow timing. Very little oil pumping at low rpm.

Id be interested to know if any documented top end engine damage has ever been caused by a low idle setting. Unless you keep it idling for hours at a time i cant see how such damage could occur, but im open to be proven wrong.

dout if it would of been documented but could be true a good bike mechanic, motor mechanic could possibly shed some light on this although you could get varying answers depending on there personal view interesting though to be honest you do get people that set there tick over so slow that the engine constantly sounds like it's going to cut out at any time and is struggling to keep going like it was mentioned the bike wont spend long periods of time at tick over but possibly it wouldn't do the engine any good if it where left for a long time as an experiment. was going to carry on but I cant be arsed to write anymore hehehehe

Why would you want to run an idle speed lower than what the manufacturers recommend?

I dont personally. But i do think it sounds nicer and might use a bit less fuel
