I wonder if anybody has experience of adding
_SOMETHING_ to a general bike (Honda Varadero
especially) that makes it sound more deep base?
Please note - i'm not after making more noise but
rather a special kind of noise, low frequency noise.

I've found a good sized plate of baked beans to work wonders for low
freq noise.

P.S. Beyond pipes or slip-ons to give you more volume and tone, I
don't know how you can tune only for low freq noise, hence my smart-
axx answer above :)-

Remove the bolts holding the rear camshaft sprockets to the rear camshafts
and advance the rear camshafts so the rear cylinder fires 90 degrees after
the front cylinder fires instead of 180 degrees later.
Do a google search for "big bang" to see if anybody has ever done this to a
VTR1000.

Or even a Varadero.

FYI, a Varadero has a detuned VTR1000 engine. Since the VTR has been around
since 1997, it seems more likely that somebody might have converted
a VTR1000 than a Varadero to "big bang".
Suzuki TL1000 engines have been "big banged" for dirt track racing.
