Default Normal Harley Sounds References
Seems every so often there is a thread on things that " go thunk" and other questionable noises our beloved steeds make. There is currently one on compensator noise.

So, I thunk to myself..." Hmm...I wonder what a normal vs. a bad compensator sounds like?". After further thunking...I thought it might be interesting for folks in the know to record and post normal sounding Harley noises in the suspect areas. The few that first come to mind:
- compensator
- primary chain slap
- clunk into 1st gear from neutral
- valve train noise
- rear seat rider when you take a turn too fast

Anyone interested in starting this?

Rear seat rider when taking a curve too fast sounds like someone slapping your helmet.....that's because she is!

How about the sound of your credit card swiping when you visit a dealership?

The sound of spanking new leather squeaking around the hotdog bar at the dealership on weekends.

While wearing the new squeaking leathers. you'll also hear the squeaking of their 'Tennis Shoes'. All leathered up & tennis shoes! WTF!

On many of the dressers I've seen, speakers so loud that you can't even hear the pipes.

That's because you only paid for the dino Vaseline. You should've gone synthetic.
