My 03 fatboy is my first Harley and it has 4910 miles on it I was al ittle suprised at the engine noise it makes kinda a whirring sound is that the normal engine sound ( ignoring the exhaust sound from the pythons) I do realize its an air cooled motor thanks Charles
kinda reminds you of your mom's sewing machine don't it? Just the sound of the valve train that you're sittin on top of. Wait till you put gear driven cams in 'er.
