Buy some stainless tubing and build your own exhaust and wrap it. or use the stock and drill out the baffles

I know what you mean. I have a territory that starts in Birmingham, AL goes up through Memphis to St. Louis,then up to Quincy, IL. Then back down through Springfield, MO to Tulsa and Enid, OK. Then back up to KC, MO, Lincoln, Omaha, Alliance, and Denver. I usually stop at the stealers on the way through town. One of my must stops is at St. Joe Harley Davidson. They have a custom shop and when they do a bike all the take offs end up in the used part room for about 50% off. Today I blew my budget and scored a set of Street Glide front turn signals for $75.00. They had a Vance Hines fuel pak, but I could not tell what it would fit. No part numbers or markings on it.
One of the really nice stealers is Worth HD in KC, MO. They claim to be the 2nd largest seller behind a dealer in Florida. Not sure but over 300 new bikes in stock

Luv the Red Sled!!! I'd guess that gutting the stock exhaust will be what happens for this coming riding season. Then maybe a custom set or the Vance Hines Big Radius pipes since I'll be the only rider most of the time. Won't have to listen to the "better half" complain that she can't hear after the rides over.....

There are some good ideas HERE. A lot of garage door openers but there are a few other things.

I'll spend some time there. I had a tough time with all the garage door opener (which I'm going to do) so I quit reading. I'll head back and read some more.

If you took all those out there would only be 3 pages.
