I put the SE 64985-07A slip-ons on my '08 FLHT last January before I put the first mile on my then brand-new bike. I love them. Loud, but not too loud with a deep, mean growl when accelerating. Also, with their full 4" diameter, they look impressive too. Another nice feature is that you can choose the tips you want to put on them. Harley offers several designs and there are aftermarket options for them as well. I have the Harley fishtails on mine.
Bottom line: After a full year of use, I'd buy these mufflers again in a heartbeat.

You buy the parts (try Zanottis web order) and bring them over and I'll put them on for you.

re:64985-07a
Only other mod i did is the xieds i put on a long time ago. These muffs i just slipped on for that sound. They are right out of te box. Not broken in yet.
I had the 64985-07 and they were quieter than stock. No comparison. I bought the 07s from an hd dealer on ebay listed as 07a. Dealer swore they were the same sound. He was wrong.

This is absolutely correct. The 64985-07s are SUPER quiet and are nothing like the 07As which are louder and deeper in tone than stock.

What two are you comparing? I can find the 64985-07A but what is the other one you say? Aren't all the HD Screamin Eagle slip ons louder then stock?

I'm comparing the two mentioned in my post, i.e., 64985-07 vs 64985-07A. If you can't find the 07, then it has probably been dropped from the H-D product line. The 64985-07 SE slip-on was not louder than stock, imo, and the release of the 07A is likely the result of complaints about the original.

OK, I ordered the 80732-09 which is the 09 version of the 64985-07A, so the sound should be comparable I would think. You had me worried there as I wanted a little "more" sound, not less... Thanks! I see you like yours and they do look good. I also heard / read that different end caps yield different levels of sound too.
