An empty gear lube bottle served as the temporary tank to get a bit of
fuel into the float bowls. A couple of quick twists to the throttle,
ignition on, jumper the solenoid and VARRROOOOOMMMM, twenty years of
silence vanquished! Man, what a raucous sound the old Ambo makes. Mark
had told me that the MAC fishtails would be "a little louder" than the
stock mufflers. Yeah, like an F-16 is "a little louder" than a Piper
Cub. Talk about utterly Harleyesque, I couldn't believe it was a Guzzi I
(and all the neighbors within half a mile) was hearing. It sounded
great, but I'm afraid that it may be just a bit more than I would care
for on the decibel scale. Anybody got any suggestions as to how I can
keep the fishtails but quiet the thing down to a more civilized level?
Slip in pipe baffles, maybe?
