pulling up a grade at high speed it coughs not getting enough fuel even at idle every now and then does not sound right seems to have a puff puff sound.other than that bike runs great only 17k miles.should i go to a s and s carb or screaming eagle or just have this one rejetted?

I own a 2001 harley wide glyde and it was recently wrecked and i have about 0 to purchase a new exhaust. i was wondering if anyone knew what the loudest and deepest rumbling sounding exhaust was and about what it costs to tune your bike after getting the new exhaust. thanks for your answers...

I am thinking about buying a new motorcycle. I've been looking at Harley bikes and a few caught my eye. Im not an extremely tall (or big) guy and i was thinking of maybe going with the Sportster Low which has a lowered suspension so it would be easier for me to touch the ground. i also think the custom has the same lowered suspension. the new Sportster 1200N (Nightster) is actually the bike i like the most, but its a bit more expensive and im not sure if i could pay that much, but it also has the lower suspension and ground clearance. i am wondering with this lower ground clearance how likely i am to scrape the bottom of my bike around turns (especially if im doing curvy country road riding) i think the clearance is 3.9 inches? but im not positive on that. has anybody had experience with this? i should say that i could ride and touch the ground on the 'non-lowered' version of the sportster, but the bike is bigger and heavier than what im used to and dont want to drop the bike.

Need to remove exhaust for forward control installation.I need info on how to remove the the exhaust on 2009 harley 883 low.It is necessary for brake linkage install.Thanks

i've seen tons of regular plain old iron 883's out there for sale but im looking to buy one with some minor custom work. im looking for something with drag bars for sure and not stock exhaust. but other than that stock or would it just be better for me to buy a new one and put those on myself i guess i'd rather just go the easy way.

I've got most off it off but there is one spot that is hard to remove. I've heard of using tar remover, gasoline, Easy Off. What do you think?

having trouble getting true duals for an 07 flstn. anyone else out there having a hard time?
yes, but not available right now. tried rhinehart, vance/hines. just impatient i guess....

I have a 2006 Harley Davidson flhpi and I am looking for a loud muscular sounding exhaust, hopefully something true duals. Since the bike is fuel injected I also need to buy a programmer. I was kind of thinking of running true duals with no mufflers and fishtail. Does anyone have any suggestions or websites I could look at.

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"

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 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!

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?

want to keep my current pipes on my bike , but looking full lenght heat shields only, gotta a '93 harley fxsts...know anybody who sells the shileds only, thanks for any help.....

Is it caused by a vacuum leak or what?

I need the bike to be louder but not to loud. I had a 1200 custom back in 1997 and Screamin Eagles were on it. Sounded great!!! Now I talked to Southeast Harley and they said Screamin Eagle pipes have changed and are not as loud. What do I buy???

Looking for a blue tooth earpiece for when I ride my chopper.
*Harley motor with custom pipes, so the chopper is LOUD!
*I wear a peanut, not a full face, so wind is a factor.
*have a Blackberry Curve if that info helps.
*Anyone have any experience with bluetooths on choppers?

Thanks in advance!

Harley Davidson Road King performance exhaust modifications. Was told a little about drilling a series of holes, size unknown, that will increase torque and increase sound level. I would like to wake up any drunks behind me.

Ken-I have tried it and understand its not about handling, power, lightweight, or superior engineering...hence my question, what else could be the reason?
