Hey all, just picked up my first HD after two owning two Metric bikes.

2007 FLHTP with just over 9k miles.

Dealer added a lot of extras for me at no cost:

-Fairing mounted mirrors
-Street glide rims and new tires
-New engine guard
-New Grips
-Screamin Eagle pipes off a CVO Ultra
-Chrome pucks to open the bags
-Slanted style bag guards
-Street Glide windshield

The pipes aren't nearly loud enough, any tips on pipes that will give it that distinct Harley sound, but not make it unbearably loud?

Also, I'm not interested in spending $1,000 on a radio. Any good or bad aftermarket radios that people are running? Can a place like Best Buy or HH Gregg typically do the install?

Whatever you get for the exhaust, make it a true dual system. V&H are my favorite...
