Just a thought on the loudness, I have the longshots on my Heritage. I had the regular baffles on for 5years now. They always seemed a little loud for me. I recently changed out to the quiet baffles and to me it is not as loud and seems to have a better rumble to her. I like it better now.

LOL.

Ya. as hard as I could get it, but it was so close that when I hit those hard bumps, like road patches (shitty roads), she'd hit hard. I couldn't avoid them all, I'd be pulled over for suspected DUI.

Thinkin about this myself.
Are they easy to install? Require a re-tune after they're installed?
TIA.

I had non-stock Harley exhaust on her before but i think I gotta tweek the carb some.
And install was easy, Did it alone in 3 hours, taking my time. That's set-up and clean-up too.
