jimmypsp700 when im going for a night ride or all day ride, I throw my trailblezer hood back on (headlight molded in) and it still works just like the look of the smooth no oil cap hole off the 500 hood. My muffler is the MT from HPD with a trail pipe and yes its very very loud 100 dbs plus only recomended for racing. But where I ride it isnt a problem. All crown land.
