Default Screaming Eagle. . .Screaming?

Hello folks,

Just wondering, I KNOW from experience, the Screaming Eagle slip-ons sound great at idle. . . But how do they sound when you're actually moving. . . like when you really get on the throttle for example?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks a bunch,

-Mark.

I think they sound better at speed than at idle.

you know usually i wear ear plugs, but today i was just tooling around town, so i left them off. My SEII's sounded great, and in comparison to all the other bikes riding around today i think they sounded sweet without raising the dead. My best description is they sound like a harley should, but I'm biased

I agree with Alex. My SEII's sound great at idle ... the low rumble that is unmistakeably H-D. At cruise, they have a great sound also without being so loud that you're deaf by the time the ride is over.

screamin eagle II's sound great on my 883 hugger ! A true deep Harley sound. But if your looking for window shakers these are by far not the loudest on the market but in my opinion the Eagles II's are the best sounding

Just swapped out the baffles in my SEII slip-ons with the Big City Thunder baffles and now I like them even more.
