What is the general opinion of each as far as tone, loudness and performance, I have ridin a Harley for the past 8 years so nothing will be too loud. Just looking for some advice. Thanks, Jason

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary

Just right for me,louder than stock but not offensively so, I find they produce a nice burble. 05 Speedmaster,Reverse Cone Shortys,Thunderbike AIR Kit,K&N Air Filter,Snorkel Removed,Dynojet Stage 1 Kit(126 main),Needle-Clip 1 From Bottom,42 Pilot,NGK Iridium Plugs,Progressive Springs,Hagon 2810's,Barnett Green Springs,TTP Safe-Start,MOSFET R/R

The dealer gave me a $200 store credit when I bought my America so they only set me back $229. I listened to a couple sound bites on Youtube but still wasn't sure what I was getting. Installed them today and am pleasantly surprised. Not so loud that I wake up the neighborhood but a nice deep throaty sound. I also have not experienced he crackling and backfiring reported by some on the forums. The $330 I saved getting these over the BC Bombers is burning a hole in my pocket so I think I'll get a Solo Seat. When the wind changes direction - adjust the sails.

For just a bill you could tinker with those and keep a stock set to go back quiet. 2005 Model . Two Fast Eddy stickers , a bell and a clock . She's Lola . She tinkles and keeps time . http://s649.photobucket.com/albums/uu211/britbike05/
