Here is the follow up video that I promised. I start the bike near the end of the video for those of you who want to hear the exhaust. I also am including a really short clip of my brother passing me while standing to hear the exhaust note, although it's a pretty horrible video. Neither videos really do the exhaust justice, since half of hearing an exhaust is feeling the vibration and bass that it makes. But it will have to do.



I'm going to post a few more pictures at some point today as well.

So far so good or maybe really good is what I should say. However, I could almost hear the bike crying out for front end and wheels. lol I like the new stock wheels but your bike seems to be at the point where something else is needed besides stock.

Unfortunately, I completely agree! LOL. The problem is that I have a champagne taste on a beer income. Haha. I certainly have plans for the future as budget allows, including front wheel and fender, stretched tank, air ride, and maybe side covers. In the meantime, I'm going to try to listen to my wife and be happy with what I got. LOL.

Bags, fender, lights and license plate bracket were around $2K plus paint. Doesn't include the saddlebag liners which were around $250 plus install.

Your bike turned out great . I just started to change some of my stock parts on my 2013 Road king . I purchased the BMF exhaust from DirtyBird to replace my Reinharts .
How do you like the up yours exhaust compared to your dual exhaust ??
The DirtyBird fender and stretched bags are next the same ones you bought .
I hear ya about the beer and champagne !!!!!

Thanks

RR

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I very much prefer the new exhaust to the Rinehart's. The exhaust note is perfect in my mind. It's definitely louder, but that's what I was looking for. One of my favorite parts of riding is the bark of the exhaust when you roll onto the throttle, and the note on this new exhaust is fantastic.

I think you'll love your new set up.
