- February 07, 2013, 16:52:08 PMHumm, I'll have to plead stupidity,.. I've not; inspected mine enough to know what's in them. Lol they are "obnoxiously loud according to my Drifter buddy with a stock setup. Btw... if it matters t anyone,... running em the empty pipes with a K&N air filter gives me a HUGE performance increase! I know the gurus know this,.. but for you newbs.... it is Very noticeable. When I ride with the Moose Riders... my regulars who I am the only Vulcan rider,.. are always impressed as they are running their screening eagle addons.. but hey are only impressed after riding a while... I am definitely a loner in Harley local 1690's. They like my bike after we hang for a bit.. I doubt they will have my back if I piss s;me redneck off.. but they will at least share a beer with me and park beside me..lol

- February 07, 2013, 16:42:28 PMI have baffles, but they're small. They give it a throaty sound that's not too obnoxious at lower RPM's, but they have some real bark when you open it up. Indiana doesn't have any laws regarding sound levels on an exhaust, so a lot of guys do just run straight pipes.

- February 07, 2013, 15:33:44 PMok and when are you allowed in Vancouver? Picture..........can you stay within the lines while colouring? Ok and it did happen in Montana, Frontier Justice.....yup.....ok
last dumb a$$ was in the Muskokas, during a traffic jam that had us backed up about 45 kms, traffic was moving slow but pretty steady for the most part at about 30 kms or so (49 that would be 18.641645 mph) and they were making announcments over the local radio stations it was due to a collision between 2 Tractor Trailers...van along side us is a female driver, she has her left foot up on the dash, right foot on the gas, she is reading the paper and drink a coffee and has a bagel or somehting in her hand also, and the four kids are in the back strapped in their seats so they would have been safe if she ran into anyone while perusing the paper.......

- February 07, 2013, 13:45:18 PMWell okay, if I have to explain it to you. In B.C., (Canada for that matter) read that 110-125 km/hour; yes, we do have 4-lanes, even 6 and 8 lanes, down around Vancouver, but that is beside the point. Yes, it did happen in Montana; between Lolo and Missoula. Now if you need, Ratman, I could draw you a picture, then maybe you could see it.....
Now have a nice day and DON'T FORGET TO TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!!!!! Your mind is going out without you again.....

Ain't that the truth! I passed some lady on the 4 lane awhile back, eating from a bowl, with a fork, while doing around 65-70 mph! 
Really paying attention to the task at hand.....

- February 06, 2013, 20:37:15 PMI have V&H Longshots and for a while I ran the stock baffles with the Smart Parts Hard Core silencers. They quieted them down quite a bit at cruising speed but I lost one when the bolt holding it in came loose. You might try a set of those and watch the bolts. I finally went back to the Long Shots with no bafflles at all and love the sound.

- February 06, 2013, 13:40:43 PMPersonally, I like my loud pipes, but I understand they're not for everyone. Isn't it great that we're all different? The world would be a boring place if we were all the same.
