I understand the noise dilemma. I love riding my H1, it has Higgspeeds and I just repacked the silencers with stainless steel material. Even with fresh packing it's very loud. I always wear earplugs when I ride, that doesn't help the neighbors though.

Jim, I feel your pain. I sold mine because I wasn't riding it and needed the money to make a final push on paying off the house. Even though I got good money for it at the time, they bring a lot more now and it's doubtful I'll ever be able to buy another one. I'm still mad at you for outbidding me on the ebay auction of your bike. Think long and hard about it.

Funny, before I posted I was asking myself if it was you who did that.

I'm amazed that's not quiet enough. Who's complaining about the noise? I rode my H2 in Bethesda for many years, but it has been a while. Now when I want to be quiet, like when I'm passing a cop, I just upshift and lug on by with a low rumble at 1,500 rpm.

I've never had an H2 with stock pipes but if an H1 is any indication, Denco's are MUCCCHHHH louder no matter what the packing material.

What about cutting away the outer shell on a stock Denco and using a normal silencer?
As I recall, my FPP's are much quieter (but gutless down low).

Less power and "umph", but why not install the stockers and then you may end up riding it enough (even if that means once a month) to make you decide to just keep it for awhile longer?

Bike didn't come with stock pipes and I can't justify the cost of repro's
