I finally did it ! This coming Tuesday I will be the owner of my first Harley. '09 Heritage Softail. Looking foward to the forum for lots of help. The first priority for me will be pipes. Don't like them real loud, but I like that nice throaty rumble. Any suggestions?
Congrats on your new bike. Great choice. As for pipes, since everyone has different "ears" and noise level preferences, best thing to do is actually listen to various pipes on bikes. You don't want to drop big $$ only to find you don't like the sound.
In my area V&H longshots are the hands down favorite pipes. Too loud for my taste even with the so called quiet baffles. It's all personal preference.
Welcome and congrats on the new scooter. I agree, you will have to get out there and look and listen to the pipes yourself, then pick the ones you like. That being said keep in mind Big City Thunder. They make replacement baffles that give you an outstanding deep sound.
Your 1st Harley...you'll remember it as well as you remember your 1st piece of a@#!
^^^And thats a fact.
Check out Hardchromes too. Good selection, doublewalled so no heatshields to work loose but they still don't blue. Sounds great, I like mine a lot. Just remember to do something like a power commander or a tune or whatever when you change the pipes so you don't run lean and hurt the motor.
