Default New Harley Sportster Rider With Motor ? Mechanics Please Chime In

So ill start off my saying my name is matt im 20 years old and work at a honda motorcycle dealership. they took this 95 sportster in its the 1200 converison. they took it in and did not want it on the floor so i got it for 1500 bucks.

other than minor simple apperance mods i did an oil and filter change. they guy who traded this bike in rode it in and rode it all the time.

for mods its got the 4 plug heads along with the accel wires and fresh oil i just changed i only changed oil the bike cam with the heads and cams and so on. its also got a k and n with a mikuni carb

this motor is very very very noisey but its not loosing oil, blowing smoke, no loss of power and runs strong can this just be a noisey motor or is something wrong?? thanks for all the help in advanced i want to ride so bad but an nervous

lol love the riceburner folks new to HD 'my engines noisy, is that bad?'
you'll get used to it HD engines are noisy, killer deal on the bike friend those dual plug heads you got are 1200s or pre2004 SE 1200 heads, nice alot better than stock 1200 heads, they are the buell lightening heads with an extra sparkplug.
after lightening buell made thunderstorm heads after thunderstorm heads buell made the XB heads with bathtub chambers.
