Shammar, I used to own an 85 FJ (crashed badly at the end of april, bike was totalled) altho mine was stock. I had Supertrapp slip-on's and I was hugely impressed with how throaty mine sounded. I ran 5 disks in the silencers if I wanted to just 'be normal' (and polite neighbor-wise) and I simply took the end caps and disks off the silencers if I wanted that NASTY sound. Granted, this took some power away, but I was willing to trade it for the 'look at that nasty sounding bike' effect it gave me. I've been around other big bikes (GSXR1100, GS1150E, GPz1100, Ninja 900, etc) with stock AND modified exhaust, and while other bikes were LOUDER than mine, none of them ever had that same deep down intimidating throaty growl that my FJ had. I think there was something special about the way the FJ engine was built (unintentionally) in terms of intake and exhaust and how they worked together to make an exhaust note BTW, there's an FJ mailing list if you're interested (I'm still a member) send an email to majordomo@netpath.net and put subscribe yamahafj <email address> in the message body if you're interested ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Charette Five0@skypoint.com | http://www.skypoint.com/~five0 DoD:#1915 1985 Yamaha FJ1100 NRA:Life Newton's 17th law of Life in America: For every action there is an unequal and moronic overreaction. --R&T, 4/98 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
