Check out big city thunder, their monster baffles really numbed the high pitched sound of my VH short shots. They also offer quiet baffles at BCT.
or you could get the vh quiet baffles.

Nope. Bought the bike from a dealer in Lake City, FL who got it from Atlanta, GA. So nothing additional.
Shame, since the V&H pipes may be a bit loud for my tastes. But changing them to slip ons will require finding original header pipes. Oh well, so it goes when one buys used.
Thanks for the reply

I may very well be, HD. Keep me updated on your progress - I'm not in a hurry.

I'm a quiet kinda guy - my 09 FLHTC still has the stock pipes and will probably stay that way the rest of her life. When I changed the 04 to Rush 3 years after I bought it I regretted it the rest of the time I owned that bike.
Thanks!

Thanks, Hickey. I'll look into these. Bike was supposedly dyno'd after getting the pipes but blows some black smoke when started indicating a rich condition and poor tune. So far I've ridden her a total of maybe 1/4 mile so I need to let things warm up and get a good ride to understand the tune. Stock a/c cover but I haven't opened it up to see if they even changed filters.

Just brought her home. 6000 miles, great shape - couple of little "garage scratches" and two small tears in the saddle but nothing I can't live with for now. For $8500 including tax, tag, title I'm pretty happy.
Seller claims the paint is a Harley factory custom. Can anyone confirm that? On the right side of the tank there's a small "DCC" vertically etched into one of the flames. Looks to me like it was a cut out in the template through which the paint was shot, but just a guess. And wth would DCC stand for?

Yeah, I thought of that. Most artists tend to initial or use a symbol. These are block style letters arranged vertically. Just seems a bit odd, though you may well be right.

Thanks. Shortshots from what I see comparing them to the V&H site. Guess I don't yet have any pics of the right side of the bike. Pipes end about where the top shock mount is.
