RE: "List Your Mods" Thread
Yep, my dad had a 68 Mustang Fastback..100% cherry condition. He bought it new when he was selling mustangs back in the late 60s. I was 18 years old in 1981 when I wrapped it around a tree [:'(]... He was for the most part glad I wasn't majorly injured at the time and he passed away a few years later..he never made a huge deal about me wrecking his car but that's the great kinda guy that he was.
Here's a clip. Warning - it may be life changing. The Python sounds like the Dark Highland Green car that Steve McQueen (aka God) is driving. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4f6b57kLmE

There's a definate sound difference. It sounds really good, I love it. But, it doesn't have that typical Harley sound. It's hard to explain to a bunch of Harley guys how it can not sound like a Harley, but still sound great. At idle it sounds like a Harley, but when you're in the throttle it sounds like a muscle car. I can best describe it as sounding like the 67 Fastback in the movie Bullitt. (Great movie BTW!) At low RPM's you can still hear the seperation of the cylinders, but at higher RPM's, the sound all hits the collector at the same time. FWIW - I wouln't go back to anything other than a 2into1.

Man but you have a fine ear. I ran a Vance & Hines Pro pipe on an earlier Sporty and
that is exactly what it sounded like. Problem was that it was the single loudest exhaust
system i ever ran. I expected to see the neighbors standing on my front lawn some evening
with pitch forks and torches. That and it set off every car alarm on every street... all of the time.

Well I guess I can get in on this one. I started out with a 04 883 Custom, bought used with stage one already done with SE can and SE II's, along with a quick detach sissy bar. looked like this.
then I added or changed:
removed reflectors
smoked lens kit
HD laydown license plate
11" progressive shocks
progressive lowering kit for fork
Lepera Daytona Sport Lt
HD fork bag
32" Drag bars
HD headlight ring
HD signal covers
Forcewinder XR
Horseshoe breather kit
relocate front signals
smoked tail light
Ended up like this:
future mods for the next year or two include:
NRHS 1250 kit
NRHS stage II 1200 heads
.536 cams
Twin-tec ign
Mikuni carb
and eventually new wheels after the motor is done

I heard a set of 2 into 1 Pythons last week on a 04' 883C and they didn't sound like that,my CS's were louder and deeper he noted.Maybe they sound better since you have all the work done to your motor but they sure weren'tsounding like loud pipe on his bike.[&:]I like the look of them and had to check them out.Guess I'll have to hear them on another bike[8D]
