I'm not a huge fan of the 2 into 1 exhaust, I've looked around but I guess its too new for alot of custom stuff yet. I know you can get the nightstick slip on, but is it worth the money (ie sound and performance). I have a friend that bought an '11 Street Glide with the same exhaust and I can't hardly hear his bike when he is just down the block. Am I stuck with this setup for now or is there something out there that I'm missing. The good news is that I'm obviously in no hurry which enables me to get exactly what I want when the time comes.

Thanks in advance!
Good for you. Super Bike. One of my sons is in Afganistan now and talking about doing the same thing you did. I think it's a great idea.

We're all proud of you boy's

Agreed, for the most part.
If not, it's in the top one or two.
Love the Classic FL look.

Word on the street around here is, minimal vibes above 3000 rpm, but gets better as mtr/mounts wear in. Other than that, straight A's across the board.
Next demo-day. I haven't ridden on yet.

Congratulations and thanks for your service! Retired Navy myself. That bike is going to be a rocket ship with that 103.

Come home safely.
