I hear ya comin brother. I'm curious on this myself
The rear shocks solo sound like a donkey goin' Hee Haw, 2 up it sounds like a hog snortin.
Combine that with the stock exhaust soundin like frog farts and I'm ridin a genuine barnyard

LMAO! [sm=funnypostabove.gif]

I have 412's they squeeked, I squirted WD-40 around where the springs have slight contact, wipe off excess, no more squeeks ( The frog farts cost more to eliminate, now it just sounds like a HOG!)

The stockers on my FXD sounds like one of those Australian Didgeridoo's.

WD40 on the rod that goes thru the middle of the shock helped mine.
