Default Too Quiet

Hi everyone, i've had my 08 street bob for about a month and have 750 miles on it, but i have noticed, and so have others i'm riding with, that it is fairly quiet. I was wondering what i can do to make the bike louder? Exhaust seems likely but is there anything else?

Thanks in advance!
Tom

...a set of Vance & Hines Big Shot Staggered's will do the trick! No need to do anything else...trust me!

Any after market exhaust will make it louder. You can go from a little louder to being obnoxious.

Exactly. Maybe try going to a rally or event in your area and walk around and look at different setups that people are running and see what you like.

Yup. The stock 08s sound like crap. Hardly make any noise at all.

Ya, those pipes are pretty anorexic. Looking to change mine out too but trying to find a black option other than the short shots. REALLY want a set of Big Radius or the curved Hookers but they dont come in black.

Other than installing a set of V&H Big Radius tubes, you might paint it bright orange!

Check these sideshots out sniper - they come in black for dynas now. According to the website, they make big radius in black as well but they don't show up under dyna so I don't know if they are available for dyna or not.
