    An idea for some of us that sometimes miss our Harley

    Someone needs to come up with a device with various engine sound wav files that can follow the engine and throttle on your otherwise quiet motorcycle. You could plug it into the stereo like a flash player but also with a sensor to detect rpm to speed up or modulate the wav file. Wouldn't it be funny to pull up next to some loud pipes guys and rev your quiet F6B like a top fueler. Of course you would need to add a lot of horsepower to the sound system.

    Playing cards in the wheels?

    Lack of exhaust note is actually a real concern of mine; with this bike. Obviously to help announce your presence in heavy vehicular traffic.

    Big Larry's Jekyll & Hyde system is one most excellent solution to this.....
    It's on my long term agenda - after I win the lottery I'm heading to Larry's and we're gonna install that sucker.

    Yep...you should see the "grins & giggles" I get from the "dress like a pirate" crowd when I pull up along side and uncork the beast at a light or the "what was that" stare when I pass them with the sounds of a Porch on steroids still ringing in their ears.

    Stop drinking so heavily, and understand that the bitches really don't like loud pipes.

    And they don't like spending their entire paycheck on "Pirate gear", just to fit in with their significant other, so he will take her for a ride.

    Back seat of my bike is a trunk - no riders. Any woman who wants to chase me better have her own means.
    And, oh wait - I'm married.
    I'll do what I want, when I want to, regardless of what is in vogue.
    And after I ask permission to break open the piggy bank.....lol.

    I had loud pipes

    I had a set of loud pipes on the M109R and bought this bike so I could have and be able to listen to nice music rolling down the road and not have only the pipes to listen too. One very prominent reason I bought this bike and took the black loud pipes off of it for the quieter 2014 chrome ones, Understandably loud pipes alert those cagers to your presents but they get old in a hurry when that's all you have to listen too.

    Are the black 2015 OEM mufflers that much louder than the chrome 2014 mufflers?

    No, they are not. They have a bit different tone but are not appreciably louder than the 14 and earlier. It was one of the things I wanted to pay attention to at the AreKansas rally.
