i have a 2001 harley wide glyde and i have a bunch of money saved up to buy a new exhaust. i am looking for a great sounding exhaust that will give me great sound quality more than just being loud and obnoxious. i want something that rumbles and has a deep great sound.

I meant to type "who makes the best pipes"

Does anyone have a HD radio for an 06 Electra glide they want to sell? Inner fairing? Black Primary cover? Passenger floor pegs, not floor boards? Let me know.
Yes I know, eBay. But I'm asking here
Wowo folks I wasn't born yesterday. I know about ebay and craigslist and things like that. I even know how ebay works. I was just looking to see if anyone had anything.
Magz, you obviously don't know Harley of late. Nothing falls off anymore and they are made very well.

I am fixing on purchasing my first harley... a Black denim FXDF "Fat Bob". One of the things that they emphasize is the Tommy Gun 2 to 1 to 2 exhaust. I started one this weekend and it sounds like a pussycat. So I have been toying with the idea of sticking some V&H Black Short Shots on...once I get the bike of course. Opinions?
Adjustments...can I just add a power box to it so it will self adjust.
ha ha...I will be running the exhaust with baffles in, I do like loud pipes but it shouldnt be painful to the rider or the guy 3 blocks away.

3 serious questions, please don't pick a fight. THank you.

1. If 'safety' is really the reason for you guys to install your aftermarket loud pipes, why most of the Harley riders don't wear a DOT approved helmet but a weak, plastic Harley chopper helmet? I've seen so many Harley riders even ride with no helmets in some states, but of course they have the loudest pipes on this planet.

2. If safety is really heart of the issue, why most of you guys don't spend the money to go to a motorcycle defensive driving training? Hurts report says that 95% of the riders who involved in an accident has never received any formal motorcycle training.

3. If safety is really your first concern, why do you have to ride with a black leather jacket, not a bright color , reflective jackets, as most DMVs suggest? Do you care about style more, or safety more.

Anyone? Answers? Please, no fight.

I want to put a colored lizard light kit on my 2001 Harley Roadking. I don't have a manual and I need to know where the accessory plug is on my bike.

I am new at this and don't really know all the lingo. but I do know a sales man when I see one. And at Harley I feel like I am being sold big time. What I want is for my 883 to sound a bit more manly or should I say hoggly... I just started to ride and I LOVE it! But everyone I ride with have bikes that sound much better. I am not looking to be the loudest. I just want it to have a bit more thunder. The performance I am fine with, again I am new at it so I don't need more power for now...

I would like to know with a slip on do I really need to re-map, re-jet, or anything else every one is saying? Please keep it elementry for me.

Also any suggetsions on what slip ons to get and if anything else I need.

On the internet, everyone gives a different answer. Please please help. Just want a little bit better sound with out interrupting her main functions... Thanks in advance!

Essentially, I am trying to make a FXR into a FLH. Custom Project. Please Help.

I have 2000 Fat Boy with brand new Samson Side Winder exhaust. While riding, I bottomed out and put a minor dent in the end of the muffler. Basically there is a small scrape on the bottom and the bottom exhaust end is not circular anymore.

Is there a good way to make the exhaust end round again, other than pounding it with a rubber mallet?

I have a set of harley (Buell) pistons with part # 22645-98YA. I want to verify that they are for pistons that can be used with Buell Thunderstorm heads.
