Every time I hear the newer EFI Twinkies idle I sure do appreciate the slower idle and mild lope of my carbed bike. It's no potato potato, but it definitely sounds like a Harley.
Yes, hard to beat their sound. The bike was cold in the videos so the idle was running a little high.

The V&H are magnifying a tune that may be needed, the popping is a give away. I've got The V&H and no popping. If it's not a tune then you have a leak in the exhaust. (Bad clamp?)

When she is cold I get a little popping on the low end. It has been that way since the dyno tune. The CFRs seem to run even better... saving up for a FP3 and a S&S 107. Thanks for the comment.

I vote V&H, but I'm biased since I have them on mine.

I like the v&h at idle, has more of the clasic harley lope. but everywhere above idle the cfr sounds nicer, and since you dont ride the bike at idle, cfr.
