First ride with new mufflers! | Sharkroad Exhaust Install on Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager - Part 4

[@darryllpillipow2466]

I’m starting my second season of riding with Sharkroads on my Vaquero. Made a huge difference. Our two bikes sound identical. K&N Air Filter, Ivanized (ECU) and Sharkroads definitely made my Vaquero a more fun ride. I also changed up the stock bars with mini apes. Vulcan bag liners make travel (packing/unpacking) that much easier. Ride safe and thanks for sharing.

I still haven’t bit the bullet and Ivanized yet…

i put cobra tri flo's on my 2018 voyager and had the ivan flash done to it and totally love how the bike sounds a d runs now definitely reccomend the flash tune totally different bike performance wise

Put on my 2023 voyager.. the way to install is to put back bolt in first. Then get a ratchet strap to put around back of exhaust and put the hooks under the floorboard on the steel . Tighten the strap up snug. Set the bolt in the front hole and slowly pull on the ratchet till bolt falls in and you can tighten up. Repeat other side. I also done the Ivan tune. And for the summer in Texas I remove the lower fairings. Major difference. My temp sits at mark right after half. Upgraded to Polk 652db. 10” slipstream smoked windscreen, k&n airfilter, and grasshopper back rest.

It sounds great. I have the same bike, and have been looking at those mufflers also. Take Care and Ride Safe.

it's money well spent, that's for sure. this footage is actually a little over a year old. I'll be doing a one-year review soon!

[@kman-mi7su]

It sounds good! I have a Yamaha Royal Star tour deluxe with Sharkroad pipes. They are louder than stock and on my bike it sounds like a V8 muscle car. I take my bike on long trips and I recently rode from DC to Tennesee and back with the pipes. I wear earplugs, but the sound didn't bother me for the 500 mile trip down and 500 mile trip back. I do get the drone sound in my modular helmet, but when I wear my half helmet, its not a factor.

[@moto_989]

I've noticed when I wear my half shell there's no problem with the droning because of the wind. But in my full-face lid it can definitely get annoying after a while. However, with music playing in my Cardo it's easy to tune out that droning. happy riding!

[@drock1505]

I put those same pipes on my Vaquero I can of like the popping sound but we’re is the place n NC u may take it to get your ECU flash?

Thanks for the video I have a vaquero and I’m thinking about putting an exhaust on but I don’t want them to be annoying on long trip keep us updated please if you do long trip

[@moto_989]

longest trip I’ve done is about 300 miles, and maybe 90 of that was with a full-face helmet before I switched to a half shell. still no complaints!

[@jag1963]

I had the Ivans Flash on my bike and hated it. It was never right after that and I sold it 3 months later. Yours sounds really nice.After the flash mine sounded terrible when you rolled on the throttle. I was unlucky with mine which was a 2019. The bike doesn't run that hot its just that it's a lot of very hot exposed metal close to your legs. It won't break without the flash.

[@moto_989]

that's so odd; you don't hear often about riders regretting the flash. what was the issue? had you spoken to Ivan about it?

[@robarnold4570]

Ivan would have flashed it back to stock for free i believe.

[@richperdue9344]

​@@robarnold4570Yes he will. Mine was flashed in 2019 & was a bit contancourus at low speed. Updated last week to the 2022 update made a world of difference.

Sweet screen! Klockwerks?😊

[@moto_989]

Yes 😁

[@timbriscoe8880]

Your bike sounds great with those pipes. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of windshield do you have?

[@moto_989]

I love the way it sounds. And I have a Klock Werks 9” Flare

[@stephenpiasecki7984]

Pipes on .my bike are loud and sound great But long ride it gets on my nerves. So thinking about a second bike for long rides and keeping my sweet sounding loud bike for shorter rides! Nothing wrong with two bikes right?

[@moto_989]

the correct number of bikes is N+1 when N equals the number of bikes you currently have.
