That is how a Supertrapp exhaust works. The exhaust exits thru theose slits between the discs. They

do make an end cap with a hole in it to eliminate the closed end cap.

If you want more noise, add more discs, less noise, remove dises.

It is a totally tunable exhaust system

Bloody-
T'would be my pleasure. Just send me a PM and we'll exchange contact info! Might be a good idea anyway, as we have near identical taste, motorcycle-wise, at least!
I can't wait to do the motor work on my bike, but it will have to be a while as we have other projects on tap in the near future, most having to do with our now 6 year old house and my girlfriend's dream home, all 5000 sq feet of it! LOL...

But I WILL get a cam in er sometime this winter!

Front lighting upgrade is 99% done, the towel rack is gone and the HD custom bracket kit is installed. It wasn't as bad as thought, just took a little time for the wiring.

Now I'm just waiting on the hi-low adapter harness that will enable all the lights to come on at once plus enable the halo ring...

Ghost Glide,
Those Bassani's are the best looking 2-1 I have seen on any HD. Even counting the sporty. I have never liked the ones with real short mufflers, partly because they seem to dump a horrific amount of noise right where my ears are.

I really like the lines.

On my end, I updated my new maintenance book, with all the info I had, even the paperwork from the dealership from the previous owner, all the way back to 2014. I also listed my upgrades and add ons.
Going thru my paperwork, I noticed the dealer I bought from spent over $1400 (retail prices) on my bike before putting it on the lot. Full oil service, new tires, front and rear, new front wheel bearings, and of course, their used vehicle inspection. Didn't get it all obviously, since I had to have them rebuild the front forks, and steering head bearings. Really, though, the forks were due for the 50k rebuild anyway.

Looks real nice bro. You did what I'm doing this winter re: cam & suspension. My first choice was the RS468, but after doing updated research I'm now leaning hard to the WOOD Performance 22XE. My top three choices are: RS468, the 475C and the 22XE. Ride hard & often!

Love those gold shocks .

How would you say the bike rides with the full suspension upgrades compared to stock?

Ya..I'm very interested in what kind of difference you felt? In hard fast cornering, etc? Cuz when I take hard fast turns I feel some floaty wobble in the front end.The front floats around whilst in the turn...

I haven't ridden a mile in its current configuration, I've been piecing all this together while I've been in Afghanistan. It will be a completely different monster when i get on it again. Ive also ordered a front carbon fiber fender and lucky dave's seat which are both on the way. I should be home by the end of the year and will have to adjust the shocks to my riding style so I cant speak for those yet. I can anticipate with the lighter front end and Axeo suspension it will make a world of difference.
