Great looks, great ride, great power, great horn, mufflers too quiet. Because it is a motorcycle, I like to be seen and heard, for safety sake. Can the mufflers be altered for a throatier sound, or must I resort to after market pipes that don't look as good, in my opinion? <em>Thanks Charles, when it comes to modifying our exhaust systems, it is our policy to run them stock. I understand the argument of 'loud pipes save lives'... Please understand we are in a constant battle to preserve riding areas and improve the image of motorsports in general. Quite often loud pipes do us more harm than good. To answer your question, I'm not sure if anyone has a mod for your system but you will have to do your research and make that decision on your own, we cannot endorse modifying the exhaust to produce more noise. cheers cr</em> I just bought the Raider and I am entirely in love with the bike.
