    They are asking 6300 for this one. What do you think that its advisable to go for this silencer ?
    They say that they can tune the sound the way i want, and the mileage and pick up will not be effected. They also said that i can fit this one on my Thunderbird.

    Hmmm....very septical on this !!! But this silencer is of Harley Davidson NightRod-Special model. Correct me if i am wrong?

    Harley silencer on RE ??? a bit, don't think a good idea!

    Why not a RE classic stock Silencer on TBTS ???

      ^^^+1 Why not classic silencer?

        I remember there is a member on this forum who tried it (of 500's) and got it cracked on the very first day. Later he was about to try the 350's one and come back with the results but never heard anything about it after that day...

        Although I've seen 2/3 TBTSs with the same arrangement. Believe me, it sounds superb... Much better than the classic itself...

          I had gone to a couple of mechanics who work on bullet, and asked them to fix the classic bend silencer to my TBTS. But no one was willing to.
          Every one said that they have the Goldie one, and they can fix that to my TBTS.
          I tried the same at the service center, as i know a couple of people there.
          They said that its not advisable, because the silencer will not last for long and will crack for sure very quickly.
          They told me to go for the short bottle silencer instead.
          Lets see..... Any way my warranty is over now ( within 5 months ). So will be doing all sorts of things now.

              what i have heard is that a lot of people who have used a goldie have faced torque issue. The low end torque dies down a lot.
              And also the bike pick up goes down a bit.

                I'm using the glasswool goldie and have not faced any such issue,, mine is only a week old so i might be wrong. Also i retuned the air fuel mixture setting after fitting the exhaust. The sound has drastically improved and my bird feels a tad more responsive to the throttle inputs . Havent checked the mileage yet.

                Could the problem be due to the lean mixture the current UCEs run on.
                They also have monster and offroader(classic upswept).

                    I meant straight Silencer not upswept one.

                    I would like a straight stock classic silencer than upswept on my CL500.

                      You dont have to check anything.
                      Just see that there are no rusts on your bike, and the odo meter does not read a huge amount.

                      And open faced helmets, go to J C Road, and you will find a lot number of helmet shops. There is one just opposite to the Urvashi theater. They have a LS2 half helmet. That is an awesome one. But they are asking for around 3500.
                      Just go and look into it once. They also have a lot others also.

                            • Hey guys.. Thanks for your posts!! It really is helpful for beginners like me!! I booked a TBTS 350 on May16th in Hyderabad. 6 Months is the waiting period Just counting the number of days!! Meanwhile I got news from dealer guy saying that TBTS 500 will be launched in july and on spot delivery for TBTS 500 it seems during launch date!!

                              • Guys , what mileage are you getting from tbts.
                                I am clocking around 18-20 kmpl in blr traffic.
                                The reason I ask is my neighbour's cl500 is consistently giving him 28kmpl in same traffic .
                                If this is common then I think I will swap to tbts500.
                                What could be the reason for this FI?
                                (i am aware about open loop fi & all , but seriously is it making a difference here)
                                Awaiting your observations.
