All engines have their own unique sound. I love the sound of a big single cylinder thumper, a Triumph parallel twin, Japanese inline four with a Kerker header.
But you'll never get a m8 to sound like an older Harley. Older bikes were carbureted and used a wasted spark ignition, shovels have hemi shaped pistons and each bike had it's own unique sound.
With today's fuel injection and computer controlled ignitions you'll never get the raw sound of the previous generations.

This is my 2018 Deluxe running the Zippers Red Stripe 468 cam with Bassani True Dual 33" fishtails with baffles. Turn up the volume.

That makes sense. I hope the better is all I need, I'm not going beyond a cam.

I think for bikes and cars if you want the loopy sound you need a cam. Pipes make it louder, Stage kits, more power for sure. At 60 with hearing loss I'm going the other way. I want a bit of sound but not at freeway speeds where I'm battling engine and wind noise.
