Has anyone put a cherry bomb exhaust on there Gunfield? 
If not I'm going to be the first. since i have a military I'll paint it black instead of the stock red that it comes in.
   I allready pulled the baffle out of the header pipe. so with the cherry bomb on it there should be a nice sound comming out.

Sounds like a plan!!!!!
I have the sports type exhaust on my Army/military and that is a similar shape. Yep, nice thump from that.

I have wondered about the Cherrybomb myself. Would you have to remove most of the interior since each one of them would have been built to handle a bank of four cylinders?

I don't think i should have to remove anything out of it . Here is the web site that I'm going to order from. http://www.performanceexhaustplus.com/  This is the one I'm looking at.   I'm going to weld the braket on it and then paint it black.

     The cherry Bomb pipe works great and sounds great.
 I did have to do a little welding. i put a reduser on the front since there was a size difference of 1/4 inch. And i had to weld on a bracket . The first bracket was solid steel and it cracked in half from the vibration in about 90 miles. So the second bracket i got at advance Auto. It's a car pipe hanger with a rubber isolator on it. It's working great.
Also I put a 120 main jet in the carb.  There is no more mid rang lag. Or no lag at all from any rpm range. And i painted it black . I'll be adding a pic soon.

I did put some HD riders to shame with there baffled pipes.

The pics of the cherry bomb exhaust are up on the modification photo gallery.

Also if you have broken the pipe bracket the one in the pic works great.

I'll be getting rid of the chrome soon. I'm also going to get rid of the chrome on the turn signals and tail light.

It got a good deep bigblock tone to it at idle. And when your on the throttle hard it will wake the dead.

As far as power . it got plenty now. I will even do a wheelie.

But can ya put the front tire into a wall and smoke the back tire off?

Because it goes hand and hand with wheelies!
But I always kinda wondered why they did that, with the price of tires and the hassle of changing them it didn't seem worth it.

That was a good idea, I purchased a muffler for a Hardly Abelson, and paid bigga $
my bike won't do a burnout in snow, the ratty old limey clutch has little grip. ::)
