Thanks for the compliments. The exhaust is definitely LOUD and PROUD. Might not be for everyone. But I dig it.

I am DEFINITELY a fan of this exhaust. Could you happen to find out what decibel it runs at? I'm looking for a sick-looking exhaust like that without the deafening loudness that some have! (Already 70% deaf in left ear from a tour in the sand)

Great work on the bike. It all looks so good but that tank is ridiculous in such a great way. Wow.

Talking to HD mechanics you have to cut the neck for a 26" rim, then you void the warranty. The problem with a 23" is when you do cross country travel/long distance rides hard to find replacement tires for flat, because it is not a common size for dealers. I went with a 21", but I like the 23". Your bike is looking good!

One sweet ride. Nice work! But like txm8de, I went with a 21" for the same reason. Love the big wheel look, but I want the ability to get a tire if something happens.

She's a looker, alright. Very nice. Ever think about adding the dark-faced, CVO gauges at a later 'stage'? I bet they'd look good.

First off, thank you for your service to our country. We are in your debt. I'm not really sure what the actual decibel level is. I did a video after the last phase of mods and posted it on YouTube, and I start the bike in that video. Here it is (I start the bike at the 2:00 mark):

One more video of a drive by on the bike (pretty bad quality):

The exhaust is louder than these two videos make it seem. But at idle and at cruising speed, it has a terrific note and is not annoyingly loud.
