I wouldn’t be after a loud exhaust, but one that addresses the restrictive design.The ferret_imp said:
For me, the sound of the engine and it’s exhaust note is a stimulant to what little mind I have left

Seriously! As a rider, I don't like my bike to be loud. As a citizen, I hate it when loud motorcycles drown out conversation. As I rider, I'm embarrassed for our avocation.The ferret_imp said:
I think there's an underserved market for quiet aftermarket exhaust that a) reduces weight, b) looks better, and c) isn't louder than stock (but better tone is fine of course).

I really savour the silky soft, low frequency whirr-and-hum of the stock CB muffler(s).

Stichill, I'm fairly convinced we're twin brothers from different mothers.

Like Arnold and Danny
I thought that, Ferret, but wasn’t brave enough to say it.

I also thought of Dan and Tim if that’s not too obscure.

Too obscure for me

Two of my lifelong friends are skinny guys over 6’6” tall. 
I think they’d rather be shorter and I’d rather be taller, so we’re in the same boat. None of us properly fit most motorcycles or riding gear! :rofl:

Impressive pop culture reference, Cormie!
Is it too tragic to admit I still have the album on my playlist?

It would be more tragic if you were still driving a 1978 Capri and listening to it on an 8-track.

Interesting. I've probably heard it, but I'm more a movie guy than a music guy. Having ridden mainly motorcycles since I was 15, I never really got used to listening to a music/radio. I did drive a car for work for the last 25 years before retiring, but listened to talk radio while on the road, not music. Even today when I am in my truck I might turn music on for 15 or 20 minutes, then find it annoying and turn it off. I do have favorite bands from the 60s/70s but never really listen to them.

Yup. Me to, just change 60s/70s to 80s/90s. I like listening to music I like, but I also get bored with the music I like. I wish there was a way to magically play music that I like but never heard before.The ferret_imp said:
That being said, there is one band whose music I could listen to almost all the time...The Tarantulas.
Instrumental? Check
Guitar reverb? Check
Surf guitar? Check
Western guitar? Check
Talent? Check
Check out the track list on their album [url=https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Wave-100-Feet-High/dp/B001OFLZPE]Monster Wave...lots of references to riding as well as a '78 Honda. The driving guitar on that song evokes the thrum and cadence of an inline four.
