Regarding engine noise, I was thinking the same thing traildog, until I found out my hearing was off some from too many concerts in the 1970's. Ha
Well, I must say that my hearing is one thing that isn't failing......yet. I have several things that are though......like my vision.....

Damn, 72K on a 14, you do some serious riding! Wish I could ride year round.

Or was it, you turned 72, while on your 14 Limited.........???

I am with you guys - it does seem to be running a bit smoother. Had it on the highway the other day and then the backroads (two lanes 55 speed limit). Wow, just purred along.

Taking it to MT from MI soon - about 3500 round trip.

To the original OP - got to say, love those white walls.

I'm on a road trip in PA this weekend so I can ride without the helmet. The bike still has stock exhaust but sounds good at 5k miles.
