        The clip is about 1 minute and my wife emailed it to me from her ipad let me know if it works, I don't have a youtube account or any other file sharing type account but will get one if the email doesn't work.
Just an old guy that enjoys going fast, I was in the army for 6 years and bought my first K5 when I returned from basic training. I raced a yz60 from age 6 to 8  a kx80 from 8 to 12  a kx125 from 12-17 intermediate class on k5 which I've owned 3.

         Thanks for posting the video up and I don't think it's any louder than the forestry approved silencer that I had on it when I first got it and I'll make another video with new packing in the shorty to compare but it won't be here until next week.


I'm thinking of building a track in the way back yard what kind of track do you think I could make back here? my place sits on 3.5 acres that leads to the back 48 acres.

This is from the hunting shed 20' in the air looking at about 14 acres of the back property.



This is our one lane dirt road and out where I live that's all we have is miles and miles of dirt roads and that is why I wanted a street legal k5 because we don't have local police or even any sheriffs that patrol out here but the state boys do come out here especially when someone calls and it's over $200 for riding on the road without a license my buddy on a CR500 found out.

i didnt like the silencer hanging down and sticking out.i got a fmf universial kit,notched the subframe a little to clear silencer and mount the strap clamp to the subframe.the silencer has an upswept look to match angle of pipe.

when you cut your silencer did you cut off the us forstery approved stamp in it?when i go to so cal they check for it and take a stick and poke inside ckecking for spark arestor along with a decible test,and of course your "green" sticker ohv registration.

        Sorry for the long response time but I have been unable to access this site until just now but I have 2 silencers for it the one that I modifed is a 304 and I have a us forestry approved just like yours only I like yours better due to the angle which is my next mission to make the 304 shorty go up on a angle like that.

        I just repacked my 304 shorty with this stuff that is pretty amazing to be honest and they said they are going to make a 500 kit for us that will fit our stock silencers and the aftermarket units for our bikes which I thought was d**ned nice of them to look out for customers like that.

        I was yelling through my 304 before opening it up and repacking and my voice seemed unaffected then I repacked it and yelled through it and my voice just disappeared it's just amazing to me that anything would absorb sound like that and I'll make a video with the 304 shorty and new packing as soon as walmart gets me my new battery they ordered because the wife is gone with her ipad so no vid with sound but the bike passed a decible test at 2500-3000 rpm it came in at 90 decibles which is 4 less than the park asked for.

        I will get a video of the sound as soon asap and you will be amazed at how deep the sound is coming from this 8" silencer a nice deep pop and growl I couldn't be happier with the sound.

Made in USA this should matter even if the product was equal to other brands.

Thanks kaw it's been a long time since I was excited about anything so this is just what the doctor ordered.

This silencer is good for at least 10hp :)
