I have a 2009 fxcwc with V&H big radius pipes why does my 07 XL1200N with V&H shot shots sound so much meaner then my 1584? When I crack the rocker open its nothing like the sporty even at a idle the sporty sounds better is there a better sounding version of the big radious sweeping pipes by another company?
my sporty sounded way better than my super glide. my fb lo has a deeper sound, but I iv'e has short shots on all three cause I like the look, but the sporty sounded the best.
I ride a 04 Fatboy with V&H radius and took my girlfriend's (my old) 04 1200R with V&H for a rip not long ago. Gotta say I love how the sportster sounds. Didn't put much thoughts in it but figured it might have something to do with the engine of the fatboy being balanced.
Yea I have the stock V&H baffles in both It must be the cams since obviously the old statement of "Ain't no replacement for displacement" doesn't ring true.
I had the misconception that the larger engine would be alot more throatY... ill just make my own words up here.
And just LOL "Why? because we love you M O U S E".
