• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

hawaii-rider

hawaii-rider

Husqvarna
AA Class
Stage two time for my 08 TE-610
Which will include...

Power commander V and auto tune.

Les doing his magic front and rear and comp adjusters front

New Seat from our sponsors....

and importantly a Slip On Exhaust...

Reading all the posts and it appears that the Leo Vince may be the one...
but

would like the herds input as to which ones based on my requirements.

1. Quiet (loud dont work with this old guy)
2. Spark Arrested
3. Loose weight over stock
4. flow better.

Arrow?
Leo?

I know George has one, but everyone states its louder than stock = loose option........unless thats not the case (George????)

FMF doesnt make one it appears, nor does anyone else that I can find other than the three listed (Kelly just emailed me and said they no longer have slip ons for the TE-610 (at least my year))

Thanx!!

I would advise you to stick with stock. I bought my Leo off another guy that was hoping it would be quiet with the quiet core. It's all subjective, but quiet it is not.
 
are you still running the LV?

did you gut the stock (CAT converter?)

Considering you did this what would you do again, or do the same thing and stick with the LV?

I think I confused you. The guy I bought the LV from thought it was wayyy too noisy, even with the quiet core. I heaved the factory exhaust AND the LV quiet core in the dumpster. Me likem noisy!!!
 
Don't get a Leo. lol It's far from quiet. I love it though and I have hated every slip on on a single from a KLR650 to a KTM640. It just sounds right on my Husky.

Here is what turned up when I Googled that question:

"By state regulation, motorcycles manufactured in or after 1979 cannot exceed a noise level of 84 decibels (dB) when traveling more than 35 mph on a paved street or highway."

But that can get you pulled over when you're riding it on the street.

Yeah, but even where I live in Connecticut, which has about the most bored and uptight cops in the country, I don't get bothered for my Uptite can, or even my itty, bitty LED blinkers, and I have cops around me often enough. Of course now that I just opened my big fat mouth......:doh:

But then again, I don't go hulliganin and wheeleing down main st either.
 
I live in California and I was stopped for a license plate light out - at night. If you drive up behind a vehicle at night with your headlights on, how can you tell if their license plate light is out? I got a fix it ticket for that and was stopped for an exhaust on one of my street bikes.
 
in high school I got a broken headlight ticket at 12:30 PM on a clear sunny day.

When they are looking for a reason to mess with you, they will find one.
 
exactly.. so why stress about a Db here or there? It's not gonna stop a cop that is intent on stopping you. they'll always use the "weaving" or "failure to maintain lane" excuse for a stop. It's their word vs. yours. And Re the plate light, I also was stopped for that at night when I was 16. That and the other excuses, esp. at night are just a way to look for DUI's and other violations..With all the mufflerless Harleys running around I def. don't Db count.
 
call George, maybe he can make you a real quiet one or at least give you the information to help you make a choice.

I don't know if he's made them yet but the newer endcaps are drilled and tapped to allow for a turndown tip
