Default New to Softails
Hello all... I have a 2017 Limited, enjoy it very much. Today I bought a 2017 Heritage Softail Classic as my second bike. I have wanted one for a long time and with the 2018 changes I had to move on this 17 with 192 miles on it as soon as it came up. The new ones are nice, but I really like to look of the classic model.

My question is what "slip ons" are most using ??? I am not going to change the intake just add the pipes.... Done it on the last 4 bikes with no problems.

I know it's a personal choice but if I could have your thoughts it would put me in the right direction. I just want nice sound, not too loud ... I thank you in advance

Be Safe JIM

HDJIM1158, Rineharts seem to be quite popular on the '18 Heritage, including my Cherry. Don't see why they wouldn't sound good on the '17 M8.

I put a set of used Cycle Shacks on mine. Too bad they don’t make those anymore.

I run basani mufflers with the stock pipes on my 10 heritage. Im happy with them so far. They sound good and the chrome seems to be holding up well.

I have a 12 with VH Straight shots. Not bad when just cruising but get loud when opening it up.
