Stick with it. Your mufflers will get a bit deeper base as they break in. Everyone is saying they start to get better around the 1000 mile mark and keep getting better. I have to agree with everyone else, I love the M8. Best bike I've ever owned.

 

I have heard the spectrum when it comes to sound. the M8 sounds like a metric...no, it sounds different than a twin cam ..... yes, it sounds different than an evo....yes.


Bottom line, it sounds and rides like a Harley. to me, the m8 sounds a little deeper than the 103 twin cam. The evo is and will always be the best sounding Harley to me, but I sure as hell prefer this m8 over the evo. I do agree that this bitch will sound a hell of a lot better when that note is done.

 

The M8 is my seventh Harley I've bought over the years & imo it's the best Harley I've owned.

 

My 09 is paid off and it sounds G R E A T!!

 

My 08 sounds great to me and it's even a sweeter sound with no note left on it.

 

The only thing I regret is going with the Street Cannons on my 17 RGS. It seems a bit to "Gurgly" to me. We will see how things go as it breaks in.

 

Well alrighty then..lol, I guess it's just me. Don't get me wrong, I love everything else about the bike, including the clutch and torque delivery. I will give the Rineharts time to break in before looking at different slip on options.

 

I first ran a set of Cobra NH'rs and now have a Bassani Road Rage 2-1 installed. The cobra's were no louder then stock, the Bassani has a much better bark but I will say this, this motor is much different then the TC. I'm not going to go as far as saying metric, but it's definitely closer then a TC is....

 

Haven't heard an M8 yet but love the rumblegrumble of my twinkie

 

I have the cobra neighbor haters on mine and they are definitely louder than stock. Maybe different baffles?

I've had my eye on the bassani. Do you think it would fit with mid frame deflectors?
