Help me decide (exhaust content)

Thanks for the replies. I don't mind chrome on this bike, I just want to limit the amount. I think silver would look off in that everything on the bike is either gloss black, matte black, or chrome. Introducing a new "color" wouldn't look right to me.

I guess I'm really concerned that the yoshi won't be loud enough for my tastes, and I'll have to go the other route. I hate not being able to hear the exhaust on the road. This is my first bike with an rpm gauge; I'm used to using my ears to let me know when to shift.

Yeah, it's more of an old school look along the lines of a mid-60's Bonneville or Honda's own Black Bomber (CB450). Just trying to stay somewhat within your design parameters.

If I was tasked with styling your bike, I'd skip making it even more black by also painting the side covers silver to match the fenders that I just painted. Then I'd leave the exhaust shiny but slap a Staintune on it, just because I like the exhaust note so much.

I count myself lucky that I like my bike the way it is. Hope you get yours to that point. Good luck!

Interesting.

It might be cool do go black fenders and exhaust, and then have a silver side covers. So it's basically "murdered" except the covers, but that's well out of my price range. I set a limit for how much I was going to spend on farkling this guy.

I'm still leaning pretty hard on the yoshi exhaust only, but I'm also still worried about how loud it will be. Some videos make it sound basically like the stock exhaust and some make it sound loud and mean. Are there different baffles?
