I had one of these in the 80's on a GP 200 and did not think it too loud (but louder was better in those days 8-) ). I am thinking of getting a new one to stick on a GP175 as I like the look.
Is anyone out there running one and do the neighbours/Feds/MOT folk object, are they louder than I remember?

cheers

Used to get pulled over most days back in the 80's (not just with the reverse cone clubman on) just to give you a 'producer'. I think my record was being stopped 100yds front my front door, after setting out. Like you say "the good ole days" :D

They are so loud that your mates will all be desperate to get in front of you so you'll need a fast bike to keep up.

My record was 3 'producers' in one night, never carried my docs with me in case they got wet :roll: on one occation the desk sargent at Ipswich police station said "hang on a minute" and ran his finger down the entries on both of the open pages in his book whilst muttering " Jenkins, Jenkins, Jenkins (at least 4 or 5 times) havn't they got anything better to do than to stop you? Later when I thought about those 2 pabes couldn't have spanned more than say 24 hours in a busy Nick like that and on that occation it had been a week or 2 since my last producer :?

Many years later my younger brother who was always ridding illegally on his mates bike told me he used to borrow my docs and that he got pulled several timews a night :shock: He also admitted borrowing my shirts and putting tham back in the wardrobe after the little fecker :x
