I thought ALL OEM exhausts had the flapper valve installed? They do here in AU.
But most replace their pipes so its not an issue.
I think all international bikes (apart from maybe Canada?) get the stupid servo actuated exhaust valves.
There are plenty of options though:
1) Turn it off using your tuner if it allows that
2) Pull the valve open and use a sheet metal screw to keep it there
3) Replace the stupid damn exhaust and discard the servo motor unit (that was my solution)
I am in the UK and have never been pulled for my exhaust noise and it's a pretty loud D&D Bob Cat.
I've also ridden the bike for several thousand miles through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany and again never been pulled. However I am sure the bike is technically illegal in those countries.
So the trick switch is a good solution if you live there, want to keep the stock exhaust, stay (more or less) legal AND have the bike sound better.
But if you want the best sound, the stock HD pipe needs to go!
Yep +1 with adm, you can get lucky when you are riding through or on holiday, but problem is when you live here, you get neighbours calling the cops, anonymously obviously and they can come to your house and do a sound check if they want to be ****.....les
I do not know if you guys in the states have this on your rides, here in Europe we all have it, basically it opens and closes the butterfly in the exhaust, closed keeps the noise down, and open gets more noise, well I just found a great little piece of kit for not to many euros, I paid 75 shipped to the door, well it is a trick box, that allows you to keep open the exhaust actuator valve to have the ride sounding like a Harley, and when the cops pull you over for a sound check, you flip the switch, and it closes the valve and your ride becomes a hell of a lot quieter, and you ride away with no fine, I got it in Germany, all is in German but it is just plug and ride.
