It is an exhaust whistle. I have seen them on cars but never on a motorcycle.

Yeah Buzz,
It's for real. They even appear in some of the early aftermarket accessory catalogs. I think Dale has a bike with one on it. Ask him!

They are currently having a real problem with exhaust whistles on cars in Oakland, CA...



I'm not making this up.

It looks like Oakland has bigger problems than whistles.
