that is clever.   perhaps we should just divert exhaust gases out of a dummy port and have an empty pipe for the sniffers to go in... bazinga.


like the charcoal canisters and flapper valves, i suspect this is a system that will be removed/disabled by many owners & racers.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

i like that the drive changes for each head are on opposite sides but it blows my mind that they are right on the crank

Where else would they go?

What purpose does the secondary air system have?

Chains on opposite sides help keep the cylinder heads symmetric. As for the chain location it could run off a secondary gear off the crank, as with the KTM twin:

Any reason for not doing so is probably due to limiting engine weight and inertia.

Emissions.

And silly backfiring, especially in tunnels! [evil]


Maybe silly, but my biggest ah-ha! moment was when I realized what the big round thing between the cylinder heads was! [laugh]

Heaven? 
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Cut me some slack. It's almost 7pm on a Friday, my wife's birthday, and I'm still at work.

I was mainly asking if you really thought it sounded that good.   :D

Actually, any of the current, or past, twins with non stock cans sound better IMO. Stock exhaust doesn't make the heart go pitter-patter.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
