Cycle shack slip on first impressions
Hi all,
I am new here and new to the world of Harley's. Bought my fxdc about a month ago. I originally planned to ride it stock but that changed within the first week
one of the things that I just had to change was the exhaust. The stock mufflers were so quiet I felt like I was riding a Japanese bike. So I bought the ms129 cycle shack slip ons and wow what a difference. Night and day. Bike seems to rev more freely as well. Maybe a bit too loud though. But a huge difference. just thought I would share my thoughts as a newbie with everyone!

Stage 1 is pending. I wasn't sure what full exhaust if any I wanted to go with so for now I went with the cycle shacks. After my 1000 mile service I plan to do a v&h fuel pak ad air cleaner upgrade. The stealership informed me that putting a full exhaust or fuel pak on would void my warranty. So I will wait until after my complimentary 1000 service to do those mods.
Cool! Cycle Shacks are a good slip-on.
Here is a video of some on a Sportster.
You can use the Thunder Torques to get a bit more power/Torque AND mellow the sound out a bit. (118's for most power, 158's for a bit more quiet and almost as much power increase)
