Default Need Help...SERIOUSLY

I was reading about how to make metric bikes sound like Harleys, but is there any way I can make my Harley (FLHTC) sound like a metric? ...Told you I need help - the professional kind. [sm=smarty.gif]

first,, you need to see a doctor,,you musta fell and hit your head,,,



sell it and buy a honda ,,, we have a guy at work who says his bike is always mistaken for a harley cause of its sounds and looks.... ( yea,, right)

it does look like they copied a softail.

( keep the harley, buy louder pipes and just drown out the metrics,, that will cure ya. )

Change your slip-on's to those fart pipes the wanna-be gansta-rappers put on their little honda civics and mitzubishi eclipses. That ought to do it.

Yeah, buy an '07 Harley. They sound about like big metric v-twins. The potato-potato-potato sound is just not there anymore.

Here's the process:

1) Remove one spark plug wire so you're only firing on one cylinder.
2) Shove a potato up the tailpipe(s) to get the sound right.
3) Remove all H-D chrome and replace with cheap $hit plastic stuff from Walgreens.
4) Take the rear fender to a body shop and have them put the biggest, gaudiest, fender flare on it they possibly can.
5) Cut your hair real short,display your skull-emblazoned Easyriders ink pens inyour best leatherpocket protector, and remove both *********.
6) Leave your self respect at the door and you're good to go! [sm=loser.gif]
