is this noise normal for 103B?
i have mostly ridden non softail harleys. my wifes slim is really the first one i have spent any time on. it is a 2013 with se 204 cams, se ac, PV auto tune tune and harley screamin eagle pipes. its only got 300 miles on it and it's a cool bike.
i took it for a long ride yesterday morning to log a tune with the PV. is buzzes along pretty nicely. i notice that when I really jump on the throttle the motor really makes a different noise. not really like an exhaust leak - a little lower base than that. it also feels thumpy if that makes any sense. once i even out to a new cruising speed or come off the throttle, it goes back to buzzing along great. i can feel it on extreme acceleration to - but not when coming off the line with a slight aggressive launch.
is this just one of those things about the B motor or should i be slightly concerned. it did this prior to any of the mods also.
thx - tin

thanks for all responses. not sure how to record as it's while im riding at high rpms under load. doesn't happen just in driveway.
same circumstance when dropping gears - i'm not lugging the engine either.
i will check exhaust and any other loose things.
i will be patient, it's just a new sound to me.

For all the years I've owned my bike, its favorite game has been "guess what this noise is, Uncle G." I've chased rattles, squeaks, creaks, buzzes, and thought for the last twelve years that this motor was on the verge of flying apart. It's amazing how a little rattle somewhere can be amplified out on the road.
