I wouldn't remove the packing. AND keep the tips as far back as possible.
The sound will still be there but further from your ears.

Greg,
Had a pair of those on my Ambo, they sounded cool, but they got
annoyingly loud with the fairing on once all the packing was removed.
Some percieved performance enhancement as well.

I spent some time trying to strike the right balance between getting
annoyed and going faster. Never got there.

But for $100 how can you stop yourself from trying?

Hi Tom,

Are these the one's you are reffering to?

If so, they look like they will mount right up without much trouble.
Have you tried them?

They look pretty good. And they are cheap enough.

Hey Skip, that is a great idea. I'll give you a call sometime to set
something up.

I've been thinking about that, too Skip. You are the King of
free-flowing pipes! (I had the pleasure of following Skip on his BSA
last Sunday - my ears rang :> ) I have an old ratty set here in the
garage that I just need to empty out and try.

I think if you open up the exhaust you might be able to get another

The stock ambo torps really choke things down. I remember I had a
set
 
 
 
 on my
old ambo and I swapped them out for some open megs. Ran like a
whole
 
 
 
 different animal.

Nope, no tach installed right now as I've got the single gauge dash.

any idea what the tach read? (I'm not suggesting you stare at your

I was in a bike shop the other day that had a poster from Bub
exhaust
 
 
 
 
 advertising an opportunity to take a run past the traps on the
salt
 
 
 
 
 flats. Sounded like a cool loop experiment so I went to the
website
 
 
 
 
 only to find that Etheridge had already done it. I felt like Neil
Armstrong when he landed on the moon and found tennis shoe tracks.

give it another go one of these days. How fast have you taken

Ambassador (750, 4-speed, 8-35 rear end)?
