Just noticed how to elminate engine noise.
When I go from this....
to this
alot of the little noises I hear from the engine go away.
LOL, I never adjusted these things. I put them on and they stayed shut for years.

yep - opened the flap.
I put those on three years ago and never adjusted them... always closed. Today I open them and alot of engine noise goes away. When they are closed must be the way the air circulates and brings out certain noises.

My Road King sounds like a hundred death rattles with the windshield installed. Take it off, and the bike is virtually silent. The amount of reflected noise is remarkable. As is the quality of what is reflected. Every tick, whirr, scrape, etc. All bounced right back into my face.
