underpowered. It has unbelievable torque & I cruise very comfortably at
70-80 mph for long periods in very hot weather & I can burst to 100-110 mph
very quickly. My A13 totally rocks & is totally stock and will stay that
way. To each his own, but I don't understand why everyone is modifying their
bikes so much.

Obviously neither of you are living with tweety-bird exhaust. I was a big
fan of stock until the chirp began and now I will be putting a new pipe on,
which in turn will require a re-jet. If I get more power that's cool, but
mostly I don't want to sound like a high pitched lawn mower anymore.

Ok, so you go to a baseball game. You're not in the box seats but you're not
in the bleachers either. You take your seat. What do you do? You adjust a
little back and forth to get comfy. Then 15 min later you adjust again... I
don't modify too heavily, I just get comfy.
By the way, thanks all for the advice on the 'new' muffler last night.

Dan, I've heard nothing but good things about those old nighthawks. One
of the alltime great bikes.
