Referring to the "race cam" sound of the articulating piston rod design, I've heard referred to as the "heart beat" sound. And yes to all. No matter who's pipes you put on a Harley it still has the unmistakable heart beat, race cam sound. Reminds me of multiple cylinder radial aircraft engines, they have that uneven firing order sound.

Welcome to the HD Forum from the sunny seashores of SoCal...
Great advice, somehow I forgot about the Little Lady. Kind of like investing in stocks, right? Except it's guaranteed to hold value and not go down the toilet like Toyota stock.
