My 2002 Night Train has a carb. It idles and sounds completely differently than my 2012 Ultra. The difference is the EFI. Both motors are twin cams, but the old night train sounds....... better.

Is this what you are looking for? This is a carbed twin cam.

The twin cams just idles too high, need to for oil pressure. The carb is better but the only TC I've heard that sound like a hot rod had $11,000 in the engine. Not to say it can't be done for less, but you gotta have at least do cams to get the lop.

Well, then there you go.

a decent little cam, put a Baisley oil relief spring in if your worried about oil pressure, and it should sound about the same.
You will notice the idle was about 1050 in that video, it's a combo of things to make that tone. (cam, heads, pipes)

Tx. I was gonna wait till this one is paid off in the next year or so and I can add the fat boy. I figured the prices will only get lower over time. I just wanted to make sure it was the carb that was making the sound.
I didn't know cams would come close to that sound though. Food for thought.
