Hi Jaylim, you're welcome, good to start repaying all the help and advice I have got from the bike forums.
As for the noise, on some bikes you can unscrew and remove the baffles, some may be spot welded which might be possible to break.
Failing this a last resort might be to hammer a steel bar down the middleto open them out a bit.
Beware though, one of my Dukes has straight through 'fluted' Contis which sound nice, replicas with holes sound 'orrid. Same happened when the st through racing pipes on the 851 which rely on two stroke type wadding blew it out, sounded awfull, replaced wadding and back to nice deep rumble. Make sure you don't end up with something that just pisses everyone off.
Tim.
