Default RE: VW Engine sound HELP!!

I just called my salesman today about the noise. He told me basically what everybody's responses were. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's my first Harley......first bike too. I only have 125 miles on it. I put on a custom painted air cleaner cover and thought I F'd it all up some how.

By the way it's a 2008 Nightster black/orange, scraming eagle stage 1, fuel pak and wrapped the chrome exhaust with black heat wrap!
