[@lovelivegofast]

Glad you found it 👍

[@RobertSchmidt123]

Warum hast du "Inge Kackstuhl" bzw. meine Videos nicht gefunden?

[@DieterFrueh-cp1go]

9:35 before 9:46 after sound 11:11 without baffles

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

Baffles In sound and look better to me. Everyone has his preference. Those look great 👍

[@deathcoredude3550]

@bikes and bangs any performance changes. Need rejetting?

[@joeyseefus1472]

I have the same set!! Make sure to tighten down well on the baffle screws BEFORE you ride. They will fall out due to vibration.

[@SouthCounty-mq9ew]

Great vid, bike looks & sounds killer.

[@lovelivegofast]

Thanks man! 👍

[@omarabilov2183]

Man it sounds like original COBRA pipes just GREAT 👍 😃 I purchased TARAZON Chinese pipes for my XVS650 from ebay too bro)))

[@rayclapse]

Same! did u remove the silencer or leave it in? plus it kinda nicking the brakes they get kinda stuck :D im really nervous taking the silencers off i heard a lot of mixed opinions about it.

[@JakeSmoth-nv8sd]

I feel like you have to sync carbs I put some Vance and Hines on my bike I immediately noticed it wouldn’t start with on button push took a few

[@raymondmendoza9561]

This is exactly what I wanted to know how they fit and sound like. Before I order a set

[@lovelivegofast]

Hopefully this helped, sound is really good!

[@raymondmendoza9561]

@@lovelivegofast yes it did thank you

[@screwhead4202]

Hell yeah thanks buddy

[@robinlings5291]

In my Haynes manual it suggests replacing the exhaust gaskets, but I note you didn't mention doing this? I'm also wondering if the baffles of these pipes reduce the volume down to 80db - the legal limit in the UK? It would be a simple job of refitting them for our annual MOT tests then.

[@lovelivegofast]

My bike only had 4000 miles on it so the exhaust gaskets still looked good. I'm not sure how many decibels with the baffle in though

[@jackgrant4795]

I replaced the clutch on my 650, and I found that if you drop the pipe down ( not raise up) it comes right out without having to worry about scratching anything

[@Chris78pl]

Sounds good will need rejetting or will run lean

[@thatUKbiker]

Im looking into buying these, how long did they take to arrive?

[@jmiller001]

I got these same pipes for a V Star 650 project I'm building out for my brother-in-law as a gift. Your video helped me a great deal with these pipes, they were a pain trying to get them to fit in the front header, it's a very tight fit and I still don't know if I have them seated right. I'm getting similar smoking from the front header, I believe I need to replace the gasket in the header and was curious if you did the same and if the smoking you mentioned stopped (if so how long did it take)?

[@lovelivegofast]

Well the smoking is from the paint and finish on the pipes heating up for the first time. The smoking did stop after a couple rides

[@Jesse_E5150]

How are you liking the pipes? I'm bobbing out my V Star and want to change out the pipes. Did you have to rejet the carbs?

[@chrisbobo7432]

I wanna know that to 🤔 I'll check back later on

[@dbdbusting1556]

Did you have to rejet ur carbs ?

[@Ateyourmomout]

That goes without saying

[@JakeSmoth-nv8sd]

You do have to sync

[@screwhead4202]

Bet thanks bro been looking at same pipes

[@MrMatteo1405]

Serve sistemare i carburatori?

[@jakemcswain7181]

will it be hard to change the forward controllers to 6''

[@eagle1838]

I got these for mine, i love the sound but the paint on mine burned completely off my front pipe and they are so hot when riding, really have to watch your pants and where you put your leg when stopping, is the a problem on yours after putting them on?

[@lovelivegofast]

I never had any paint come off mine, I did feel some heat from them at long stop lights since they don't have heat shields. But this bike already sold so i won't be able to follow up on the long term

[@fichtl18]

your videos are amazing👌🏻

[@lovelivegofast]

Thanks a bunch! 👍

[@martincontreras2660]

I'm having issues with mine I installed the bottom header but now my brakes keeps getting stuck i have to manually pull the brakes off because of the exhaust pipe gets in the way ? Anyone else has had this issue?

[@rayclapse]

[@Madride305]
