Hi all I have been reading for awhile but this is my first post. I picked up my new 07 Road King and was wondering about these slip ons. I had them on my 01 RK which had the big bore kit and about everything else done to it and I loved the sound. Nice and reasonably quiet till you gave her full trottle then it came alive. I have not read much about them here which made me wonder. I only have around 250 miles on it so I want to wait till I have put my 1k on her. Then I think I will only do the Stage 1 kit and mufflers and a reflash. This bike has alot more power then my last one did stock.
Like the poster above, this is my 3rd bagger with the Hooker slip-ons. They still have the most awesome sound I've ever heard on a bagger. Not for the faint of heart though. I tried the Rush 2.25" mufflers just to try something different. Sold them after 10 miles. The Rush sounded very nice indeed, and are a great bargain for the price. However, the Hookers sound awesome. Personally, I prefer awesome to nice.
