Removed the stock exhaust to reinstall the HardKrome set the original owner removed  "because they were too loud."

Well, I love the sound AND the look.

Tfrank what pipes are you running?

The PO had straight shot guns on there, really loud!, which I modified with my own concoction--two baffles in each pipe and slip-on fishtails.

Tfrank59:
It is not really that bad other than an annoyance, this is also part and parcel to patch wearers trying to being bad bikers. Like anyplace else the law enforcement officers can be really nice and at the same time they can be really dick headed about things. I personally do not like overly loud pipes, but do appreciate the rumble sound. I was on a group ride over on the QC side one day and we had an individual who had V&H longshots and they were make your ears bleed loud. As we rode in to a small town right on the border he took super delight in rapping his throttle at every intersection and at all the young lasses on the street. We never made the other side of town when we were pulled over as a group. Registration, proof of Insurance and Driver's licenses were requested from all of us, and so far the 2 officers were very polite. Then it was check each helmet for DOT approval. Then the one cop took his hand held device and checked the young lads bike. It was over the limit. At this point the police office gave the lad his choice. He could very quietly ride back across the border or have his bike impounded. At this point one of our QC rides informed the young lad not to rap his bike even on the Ontario side because the one cop had rights in Ontario.......so goes to show......

I had the same and loved them, but a bit on the loud side. I added the smart partz quiet baffle, but even then I got arrested 3 times by the police in as many month, so went back to the debaffled original...but now moving to the roadhouse!

That's a drag that they arrest you for stuff like that in Canada. Here in Washington state USA you won't get pulled over – and that's even the really loud obnoxious Harleys – but you will lose your hearing and people on the side of the road will be fairly well  annoyed with you if your exhaust is, well annoying  :D.  That's why I keep mine down to a reasonable level, even though my exhaust is not stock.  Ride safe

Okay.
My envy for ya guys with those long & loud pipes really was killin' me... ;)
So, since that I couldn't find a second hand set anywhere, I decided to go on with my B plan...
It's still on the go, so by now I will let you see a single piece of the puzzle: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Harley-Davidson-exhaust-pipe-Muffler-Tip-Knucklehead-Flathead-Panhead-/371773476586?hash=item568f6d0eea

I gotta admit, it will take a little to get used to the sound.....waaayy louder than stock...but at least other people now know you are there..:-O

My wife says to me.."so now you're one of those guys that annoys other people with your loud pipes, huh?"  and I replied "yup!"...ain't having a mid-life crisis fun?!

bought the Roadburner exhaust on ebay for 399.00 plus free shipping.  Installed them today....yes they are loud....but ohhh...sooo coooool!!.  I have to say, however, that the IDIOT that wrote the instructions needs to be drawn and quartered....in other words, someone needs to get medieval on their a55.  NO ONE with fingers larger than a three year old could possibly attach the pipes to the mounting bracket as the instructions describe how to do...I basically had to assemble the pipes and mounting bracket on the floor first and then carry the whole thing over to the bike and attach it as a unit.....I wear xxl gloves and have fingers like bratwurst (being of German descent and all) :-P

Anyway, after a bit of cussing and fussing, things are good....can't wait to take her out and scare the neighbors....weather this weekend looks promising....

Those are sweet.  I had them on my 800 and the high quality chrome and even better sound from stock is awesome .  Your bike looks great with them.  Way better then stock pipes.

Well done, Seedman!
They look awesome on your ride and I do really envy you.
I wish it could be free shipping for me, too... but it isn't!
