Today my new chrome 3-1-2 system from Paul Bryant of Viking Exhaust has arrived. Thank You Paul. I am the proud owner of the first 1 3/4" system Paul has made for the Rocket III. Thanks to Neville Lush for encouraging Paul to make this for me. Paul said he did it because I bullied him into it. LOL. He worked hard to make this and had to have a bunch of new tooling made to accomplish this task. I was patient and told Paul to take the time he needs to get it right. And man is it right.
Well 9 months later here it is. Take a look at some of the pictures I took with my crappy cell phone as I unpacked it this afternoon.
I can say that once the speedo pegs, it takes a great deal of effort to just hang on. The Carpenter bike (what I have) is still accelerating very hard, but it’s not confidence building after 140-150. Down right hairy.....

You absolutely right the air pushing back pretty hard over 150 mph. I made a mistake once by having a gopro on the side of my helmet around 179 mph I thought it was going to rip my head off.
Mr. Bill took his Rocket 3 out with the new Viking exhaust for some acceleration sound test today, he forgot to turn his gopro to record but this is what I heard.
