Well it is installed and I started the bike up. It is a lot less loud than
the Dan Moto but it is not what I would call quiet. Where the Dan Moto
sounded like a Harley with drag pipes it is more like a Chevy V8 with glass
packs. I will ride it tomorrow when it stops raining and report back.
It is a lot smaller than I thought from the photos. The case of the
muffler is about 6.5 inches long and if you count the end cap and the
tapered front it is maybe 8 inches total. About a 2.5 inch diameter at the
pipe and a little more then 3 at the open end. Looks great I just hope it
is enough to allow me to ride comfortably. The Dan Moto was too loud even
at idle but this one is fine at idle.
On a separate note I have never ridding the bike without a modified exhaust
so I am wondering is it common for a Scrambler to be cold blooded and need
about a minute or two of warm up to take throttle inputs without stumbling?

I had a Dan Moto GP pipe on my old M620, it sounded awesome in a way your
neighbors hate :)
I am sure the LV will sound much better, I had one on a bunch of the old
9xx sbk's. I kept the pipes and put them on subsequent sbk's!
