Default Another sound thread...

After an XLCH, and an FXRS, I'm now the owner of an FLHTCi. I'm gonna keep this one and want the sound to be just right.
I'm looking for something that will make the sound smoother, like a V-8 with those old Thrush glass-packs in an echo chamber. I found a YouTube clip with somebody's Kerkers that had the sound I like.
Does anyone know what I mean? and who makes them?

You're gonna need some cams to get "that" sound. Mine has a nice beat with the Rinehart TD's and 211's.

I've got to say I love the Thunderheader 2-1 on my RK. I had Kerker slip-ons with my previous bike and liked them too. They were quiet until you opened up the throttle and even then I wouldn't have considered them loud. If you google Kerker you'll find all types of Kerker options if thats what you're looking for.

It's been said that these sound the most like a 60's muscle car , deep and subdued.

when somebody asks you what kind of bike you ride, do you tell them that it's a flhtci?

I'll keep my Rineharts, especially after hearing the sscycle pipes. Have a listen to this, although a key factor is the built motor. Sounds pretty awesome though.
