That's pretty much my point. Most of the members on the forum has been riding in one form or another for decades, that doesn't mean a dang thing, other than you're a motorcycle enthusiast on a motorcycle forum.

They're a little less prone to be leakers, but I'd trade that for a proper Harley exhaust note. Almost as easy as a shovel to strip and rebuild, so at least they got that part right.

some love the sound of drag pipes and never rev above 3K rpm and others *** at the sound of thunderheader ... I love the sound of stock or SE mufflers when I bounce off the rev limiter.

Two schools of thought on that bit , one being the average family guy whose been playing with motorcycles here & there over the years mostly in the import arena while doing the whole 9 to 5 & family routine and nothing wrong with that don't get me wrong here.
Second , there's those of who stepped off eyes deep into the whole bike subculture at a young age and lived the life most have only read about or seen pictures of in old EasyRiders magazines , wasn't many actually living the life like most pretend to today , it's a simple numbers game when you look at it wasn't nearly the people on 2 wheels 30, 40 , 50 + years ago and fewer still who called it their lifestyle unlike the overdone clown parade you see every weekend somewhere today .
Things are what they are and all the fist shaking & foot stomping by late comers wanting the image isn't going to change history one damn bit . We are all riders in the simple form but all the same ? No ...........

For all of this supposed rage by the 1% crew towards the "poser" RUBs", I don't seem to hear reports of bands of angry marauding bikers attacking mid-life-crisis-riders. Based on the evidence, I don't think the 1%ers really care. And why should they?

That may be true, but so what?

) CFRs on a big inch twinkie sounds good, but sound more like a muscle car, than a harley. I do like a carbureted evo into unbaffled fishtails, too.
