I would love to hear them in person but all the videos and reviews say they are awesome, might just pull the trigger and keep my fingers crossed

I don't know about DNA's, but I got a substantial discount from directcycleparts.com by calling them. I do quite a bit of business with them, I don't know if that made a difference. The one bike that I put DNT's on had a 124 S&S motor and an S&S head pipe. It made 132HP/136TQ with no dips that I remember. I have the dyno sheet somewhere, if I find it I will post it. The tech that tuned that bike said that he had problems trying to tune CFR's. He really liked the Bassanis.

I have them on my RKC, and they will be on any future touring bike I own. I like them that much.

Is your RKC an M8? If so, do you have any sound clips? Thanks

I've had the DNT's on my '15 now, for almost 2 years. They sound phenomenal! If you leave your stock headpipe on, they produce a deep thumping sound, which is pleasant to your ears. And, because the sound is so deep, you hear your radio better and cars around you feel the pulse of your engine. Like a "rumbler" style siren used in many emergency vehicles these days. Also, as mentioned earlier, tune easily because of the three stage baffles. You'll love them!

No, Road King Classic production ended (in the North American market) in 2013.

But there are some M8 DNT videos on YouTube. Check Bassani's website too.

Thanks for the info, not very familiar with the RK line so wasn't sure. Yeah I have found a few videos of them on M8's, just wish these videos were a little more accurate, some can be hard to tell depending on the recording device used. I recorded my current exhaust with my phone and played it back and it sounded absolutely nothing like my bike in person.

Have you by chance heard them on an M8?

Can't see how they could sound any different. At least the tone would sound extremely similar.

I would completely agree with that except me and my neighbor have the exact same RCX slip ons, only difference is his is 2016 TC and mine M8, they sound nothing a like. Weird I know but it is what it is.
