10lb saved yes... it's tiny compared to the huge stock muffler... I know why the stock is so big though, it's to make the bike quiet, and it works really well, especially when you realize how loud that engine is with the Jardine.... even with the insert, it's still quite loud... Since I don't...

Had a great time too Rob! Here is Rob on his future toy (it fits you like a glove!!!): and me (they didn't have anything else available to ride at that time... that Scrambler was quite a lot of fun to cruise around though):

it's my tire warmer :D No ****! I count on you to make it happen :) That's what my wife thinks too hehe I just tried the quiet insert and it made it MUCH better... it kept the sound, but turned the volume down a couple of notches (at least it feels that way when riding), and the...

YouTube - XB12S Stock vs Jardine this muffler is VERY LOUD! No good so I mounted the "quiet insert" tonight... I love the sound of it, not the volume level lol I will test it tomorrow :rockon:

There's no "graduating" from any bike... A bike's displacement is overrated imho... what matters if what you're comfortable with (ergos), what you like to look at (esthetics), and utlimately what you like to ride. How powerful the bike is is almost irrelevant imo as you can kill yourself just...

oK so I originally came to this thread to post about my new upcoming mod: - Yes it's very loud so I got the "quiet insert" too - Yes it's a useless mod other than the sound difference (much more aggressive & mean)but wth, it was on sale for $300 (instead of $500), so I went for it...

Sorry I just noticed your post... My take on the 2 bikes (without going into all sorts of details): Both are great great bikes and it's really a matter of personal preference imo: if you plan on doing LOTs of touring, then I'd recommend the FZ6 as it has a windshield. Ergos and comfort...

broken back? ouch!!! Hope they can fix him so he can ride again.

The garage door opener mod is awesome!!! Now I have to think about how to implement something like that on my bike! Very cool.

Love the bike!!! Very cool all around. Keep modding plz!! :)

Re: Socal racers, unite! - May 25th - Willow Springs +1 to MarinaFazer's response. Waking up super early + Riding up there + racing all day + riding back (assuming you did not crash during the day) can be done, but really it would KICK your ass and wouldn't be safe... I am completely beat...
