Bumboo here in Portsmouth, VA; riding a 2000 Bullet 500 mostly stock. Congrats on your RE. I run an open reverse cone on mine once in a while and the sound is rewarding as is a noticeable increase in peformance. Just watch the sound on the Colonial Parkway. Hard to believe you can get too offensive with only 500 cc's of decible production but I got snagged by the Park Service PO-lice and asked to leave at the next exit....I can only think what they would have done w/ a Harley w/ shotgun pipes.
