I bought my bike back in April this year- at the moment its stock standard.
I wanted to change the sound from the very quiet, to the not so very quiet-
I don't necessarily want to have the cops after me for noise pollution
(possibility in Australia), but I would like other road users to know I'm
there, or soon will be  I really don't know anything about this subject so
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation.
*PS. I have just been reading that you don't have to get new pipes, you can
modify the existing pipes that are already on the bike, is this a good idea
or is a totally new set preferable? Basically what are the ins and outs of
this modification I am considering?

I'm having the same quandary in the US with my 1600 Roadstar. I have found
some online sources, in part thanks to some on this group. They are:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.denniskirk.com" target="_blank">www.denniskirk.com</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.jpcycles.com" target="_blank">www.jpcycles.com</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.jcwhitney.com" target="_blank">www.jcwhitney.com</a>
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bikebandit.com" target="_blank">www.bikebandit.com</a>
One suggestion I got from a trusted source, DO NOT buy Cobra slip ons that
take the place of the standard muffler. They don't appear to hold up and
supposedly dis-color very easily.
A local shop offered to modify my stock mufflers enough to give me 'about
30% more noise' which would be in the zone I am looking for but I don't
trust them to try, especially since they wouldn't 'share' the method.
Hopefully someone out there will post a good answer that can help us both.
Here in the US we are blessed with the fact that individual municipalities
or counties can decide what is too loud. Several friends of mine almost
literally have to coast through one small township that takes a wedge out of
a major state hiway or the local policeman will ticket them.
Hope things aren't as ridiculous elsewhere, or in AU.

The Viragos are XV...
The XVS's are VStars. I'm not sure about interchangeability of parts.
Come to think of it, my Virago 1100 takes the same oil filter as my
wife's VStar 650 Custom. Maybe other parts swap out as well.

I have done a "modification" to my stock pipes on my V-star 650. Sounds
better than it did, but it's not a huge difference. My dad bought Vance &
Hines slip ons for his V-Star 1100 and they sound amazing! Nothing that
would draw any police attention unless you try tried real hard. Good luck.

Sorry I neglected to see the s in there. Apparently I'm the retard this

guys own VStar also, and plenty of info on VStars there.

I put some Bubb Enterprise "Big Willy" pipes on my 2004 V-Star 1100 classic.
They come standard with 1 3/4" baffles or you can order 2" or 1 1/2" for
more or less sound. The baffles run $65. The pipes have a great look to
them, high quality finish, and sound great too. You do need to re-jet the
carbs when you install the pipes and I put a K&N air filter on it when the
install was done too. This will give you a lot more power and a flatter
torque curve than before. Over all a great improvement over the stock setup.
Hope that helps,
