I could see maybe the Sweepers being a little louder, but was wondering if you could elaborate.

Thanks for the compliment.

Yes they are definitely louder, considerably louder. Exhaust note seems to be a deeper and more aggressive note. Engine lope is more pronounced. It actually sounds a lot better now, I don't know if it has to do with the different dimensions of the pipe or if it is because they are so much shorter (and without the baffle the turn outs come with.)

The turn outs have 3 different pipe diameter steps, whereas the radial sweepers only have two.

I'm also pretty certain I may need a re-tune due to the pipe change, that may also play a part in the resulting sound difference.

I don't really know how to explain it any better than that but it is a more enjoyable Harley sound to me.

You said you have cvo chrome wheels waiting to go on right ? If you do they will absolutely make a world of difference with that paint !! I think that's when you'll really start to get the feel for how nice that paint job really is.

I like the new exhaust too. Getting there piece by piece my man. Looking forward to watching it develop.

I think I'm going to buy a camera. I think my phone is downscaling my photos or something. looks good on here but not as good online.

then I can get you a good sound video also.

That's right PM wheels. They will set the bike off !!!

I'd love to hear the exhaust note with the motor work you've done.

I'm ready. Waiting on the rear belt pulley. Don't want to do another swap without it.

a pic of it on the bike.

Jeff I pulled the reflectors today.

It was a very easy task. Used a pair of Channel Locks and they came right off, tape and all. Took about 30 seconds.
