If opinion on the noise issue was split 50/50 then we could have a debate. Trouble is it's probably 90/10 so Loud anyting just hurts the cause.
I most certainly had and still have a clutch kit on every sled I own. I, however, do not ride with aftermarket exhaust anymore, only stock. I never said I creeped into gas stations. When I did used to pull into gas stations though with an aftermarket exhaust, WOW, it was loud on pavement. Loud when crossing open water too! Half the time I never go to gas stations because I just fill the gas cans and fill at my house. The trail to Skelley's can get pretty boney at times.
