My 08 is LOUD now!!!
Well I installed a set of V&H BSS on my 08 Custom today along with a Ness A/C and A PC III USB. I don't think my neighbors are gonna to appriciate me too much. It seems a lot louder than the long shots I had on my Roadstar. I really didn't want to play with it too much in the garage since it's a school night. I had Jaime at fuel moto program the PC III but it seems to start a little harder than before. I will get to do some serious testing tomorrow.

RE: My 08 is LOUD now!!!
The starting problem is caused by how the PC III gets power from the bike. It is powered up when you first flip the switch to "Run" while the fuel pump is pressurizing. Then the circuit that powers the PC III turns off and is not powered again until you hit the start button, thus the extra couple seconds to start waiting for the PC III to power back up. It has been said that it is O.K. to go ahead and hit the start button while the engine light is still on after you hear the fuel pump pressurize for a second. There is a thread around here somewhere about it. Long story short, it is a little frustrating, but perfectly normal for a PC III equipped bike. I like to pretend that I am riding an old bike that didn't start right up all the time....
Hope that helps set your mind at ease.

I've got the same pipes on my 07 Fat Boy. I thought they were a bit too loud, and installed the quiet baffles. I found it to be a significant difference, a much deeper runble, and just took the edge off. My 2 cents.

Why think the neighbours don't like the sound of a Harley. You and I know there is nothing that sounds as goodas a Harley...perhaps they do too.When you hear one open right up tear down the road it sounds fantastic.What about all the alarms going off, garbage trucks, sirens and construction work. I've got V&H BSL and love the look, performance and sound. They have been around a long time and they are everywhere who is complaining...no worries!

Yea man, they ARE loud. I just got my BSS on two days ago.
I LOVE them, but quite sure I will still love them with the baffles in. I am ordering them today.
Cheers!

I got word from the people at PC that the 07 version should work as long as it isn't the wireless throttle like on the touring bikes. They said they hadn't had enough time to do testing to stamp them good for the 08's yet.
