If the weather is nice go pick it up and get a feel for it.

Not only more power and torque. But it will make your bike sound really bad ***. Really.

thats why i was wondering....
i just recently bought a deuce..
The idle is a bit higher....
the sound through the V&H pipes is completely different than my co workers with a fat boy and the exact pipes.. now i know the baffles could be the difference there... but it does just sound different..
Would there be an easy way to tell if my bike has had any engine work done???
