Cobra Speedster Longs Sound??? 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago  
Hello! I was wondering if anyone here who had the Speedster Longs would be able to provide a sound clip. Also, any info on fit and finish, sound, scraping, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

here is something about the sound

The fit is perfect, the aluminium billet tips are gorgeous, but they will last only about a year, then the chrome will start to peel off. That's the only awful part of the whole package. I'm replacing them with a pair of handmade stainless steel tips.
Scraping is really common, especially when you ride two-up, that's why the lower tip gets spoiled very soon. the sound is not obnoxious at all, but you will be noticed when you roll up the throttle.
Would I buy them again? I really don't know. I think I would buy a pair of roadhouse dooleys nowadays, or, if I should buy another set of dragpipes, I would consider buying the staggered speedsters cause they should be harder to scrape.
