I personally like the Cobra 4.5 mufflers and have had them on several bikes through out the years. Probably about the same low rumble/bark on acceleration as these are. Did you or are you going to rid the CAT ? BIG difference in heat/performance and sound.

You'll love the King, have one just like yours but with the spokes & WWW. The left blinker indicator on mine also just quit working, you can't just replace a bulb, you'll need a new wiring harness which includes a new indicator lamp assy, $79 at your local Harley dealer.
Everything else the harness plugs into, like the ignition switch or the speedometer has a quick detach plug but not the lamp assy, oh no not the lamp assy, that would make to much sense.

Thank guys! Yes, I'm looked the light panel up on Ronnie's. They were slightly cheaper there, but thier shipping is horrible.
And yes, I plan on Tru dual headers . Probably this winter, idk.
Sounds a lil petty, but since I got the headlamp and passing lights sparkling like new, I ordered 4 new Amber turnsignal lenses too. These are a lil faded.
Is the indicator panel harness in the tank dash hard to do?
Also, I've cleaned up spots on this bike that haven't been touched. When I removed the bags, omg, I exposed some work! Lol. Looks like new.

I like em ALL! Lol. I think the 5 gal tank ones are just a smidge sharper, even though mine is a 14. Now that I got a lil sound out of it, I'd like to change the look of the a/c. I'd be happy with just changing the cover, but I'm not seeing a whole lotta options? Hate to hafta put a high flo on her cuz that would necessitate a tuner that I don't wanna spring for right now. I'm really wanting the chrome round bar n shield "nostalgia" cover, but it only fits on a stage 1 or 2 rig.

Just got in from a health check at my Mother's. It's a round trip of only about 70 miles. Took the interstate all the way.
She just floats. Looking forward to new tires next week.
