Hi All,
Thanks all in advance for all the upcoming help you will all be offering
I bought a 2004 Road Star. I beleive it is a Midight Star Silverado Correct ? ( I hope the photos work). I bought this local in eastern PA in August for $5200.00 I consider it a steal, it had 3,004 miles on it when I bought it, about 4k on it now.



Exhaust- I think the bike is bone stock other than the exhaust that was put on. The owner said no jetting etc. Can anyone identify what type exhaust it is ? Based on poking around the internet, my guess is it is Hard Krome 3 inch ? The ID is actually 2.5 inches. They are massive pipes and very LOUD, too load. Any idea how to calm them down ? Once identified, is there a manufactured solution to quiet them down ?







Any help is appreciated. Looking forward, Ill need to understand how to stop the decel pops. I have not messed with the PMS yet, nor looking into jetting etc. Again, any opinion appreciated.

Ive used the Seafoam in the gas so far, possibly as a preventative measure, but have noticed some vibration. I think some of it may be reading too much here But with that said, Ill also likely spray the carb etc if there is no harm.

Thanks all, great site, great reading here, love this bike so far, it pulls like a mule.

John
