Default That sweet Harley sound.

Cruising down i95 the other day and had several Harleys of different makes go past my side.

Man that sweet sound of the bigger baggers really gets me goin. What Harley has the sweetest sound at 3500rpm goin down the highway? Just cruis'n along not hard on the gas. What does it for you?

Pans, Shovels and Evo's in that order ! The Shovelheads just may have had the sweetest sound in HD history.

I like the sound of big motors . once you have a big motor everything else sounds weak.��

I'd have to give the old Ironheads a nod also.

A properly carbed and cammed Ironhead or Evo Sporty makes a sweet rumble. Notice I said carbed- no fuel injected motor can make that awesome potato potato potato
