Quiet
I want my bike to be quiet. Partly because the less I annoy the neighbors, the less likely they are to annoy me. At least the human ones, the opposite may be true for the bears and moose, but I'll take my chances there.
This was my first attempt to make it quieter. I just found a piece of copper pipe out in the junkyard, and JB Weld'ed it on to the exhaust outlet. It does quiet the motor down some. It still sounds like a weed eater. I suspect that a lot of the noise is not from the exhaust.
The JB Weld seems to be holding. We'll see if the solder holds when I take a long ride and get it up to temperature. If It doesn't. I'll bend a piece and try it on there.
Also there is the possibility that I'll just knock it off there while I'm riding.
