I have a 2005 Ultra Classic... I'm a little disappointed that it does not have the "Trademark Harley sound and feel." *(my previous bike was a '93 Classic with Screaming Eagle pipes with Turnouts). I've joined this forum to see if anyone has any advice on how I can make the bike sound more like the Traditional Harley with a bang and a bark to it - yet still be legal! I'm afraid people will think I'm riding a rice-burner (how disgraceful!) Thanks!

 

Welcome from SoCal,
Since you want to be "legal" cant help ya as most mods are for "Off Road Use Only".....Howevr I really like my VH Pro Pipe

 

Welcome aboard.

Many of us plan or have already done a Stage 1 upgrade (louder pipes/slip on mufflers, carb rejet/ECM remap, high flow air cleaner). That will solve the sound problem, and give your bike some more "OOMPH"!! [sm=gears.gif]

I am personally having Screamin Eagle 2 slip ons, a carb rejet and K&N air filter put on my soon-to-be delivered '05 Night Train.


Cheers!

Glad you found us. I know what you mean on the sound...doing the Stage I will increase the efficiency of the air intake...I put the Screamin' Eagle II's on my Electra Glide, and I'm very happy with it. Loud, but not too loud. You can go much louder I'm sure, but I didn't want that on my curiser...

Post some pics when you get the chance.

Welcome: Start with the pipes

 

Welcome Jeff, either replace the pipes or use a hole saw on those.

 

Hey Jeff,

Welcome.....Not all of our advice may apply since Cali has those crazy laws concerning stuff like pipes!

Jeff, Welcome to the Forum, I would go for the Stage 1 set up, I did this before taking delivery of the bike and I am really pleased with it.

 

welcome aboard Jeff - congrats on the new ride

 

Howdy Jeff and welcome. Hope that you enjoy your stay. There's a lot of good info here I'm sure that you will be able to find out what you want to know. Enjoy the ride.
