Good looking bike man. I got 'em on my Lo and love 'em! I took the baffles out and it's like night and day for sound. But they're made to be able to do that, that's why the FP3 has the option on it, to each their own. Kind of hard getting the baffles out though.

I'm trying to ride that razors edge of sound and neighborhood friendly. My neighbors have gone so far as to give us a little love note for the volume of our air conditioner. I can't wait to hear from her this summer when I can ride every day.

Looking good. If they give ya shat, just revive them you went with the easier pipes on the ears compared to the big radius or others.

Or I could just pull the baffles and let them ride. We'll see which they choose at that point.

Guaranteed they'll know there's a Harley in the neighborhood if you take the baffles out. But even with them out, you can still keep the sound down with the rpm's and right hand. If you do it though, just for kicks have someone ride your bike just a little ways for you to hear it when you're off the bike and you'll be stoked! On the bike it's like, yeh, it's ok. Hearing it when you're off the bike, it's like holy s*it, is that earthquake my bike!?!
Reflectors were the first to go on my bike. Pretty easy. Get em warm with a hair dryer then some fishing line, came right off.

The rear fender reflectors always cause me problems. I end up having to sit there with goo gone and a few beers to get all that goop off.
