  1. About the turnout silencer, you're better off getting some stainless tube with a turn out and buying the baffles separately and either welding them in or securing it with a bolt through the tubing. Most of them come that way for installation.

    Your exhaust end will also change the sound slightly. The fishtails I had on my deluxe made the bike sound really bassy.

  2. I'm not sure if 3-4" of more baffle will make much of a difference. Plus, I'm not sure how V&Hs secures the baffle to the pipe. You could always add another one in front of the existing baffle but I don't know what difference it will make for sound or performance.

    You're most quiet pipes will be the stock ones. After market pipes will always be louder and more geared towards performance because it's one tube from header to exhaust tip.

    For best performance you could go with a thunderheader. They might look like a dog weiner but they do wonders for your bike. Or so I here. A lot of the club bikes run thunderheaders.

  3. Short shots are pretty loud. There isn't very much pipe/muffler there so you're getting straight engine noise. I'm sure they have baffles in them so that quiets the engine yet gives it enough back pressure to make the short shots performance savvy.

    Best thing, which may be hard, is to find someone locally with them installed. Not sure if you're close to a HD dealer but I'm sure if you hung out long enough you'd meet someone with them.

    Another alternative is to get some stainless steel tubing from a place like accel tube and make some pipes. If you have a buddy with a tig welder then you could spend the day/weekend building a set. That's what I plan on doing when I get back.

  4. Ed, we do know you. You're a dude with way too much money that obviously doesn't understand the value of it so you keep blowing it on what will make you look cool to who ever you're trying to impress.

    Also, stop asking questions about you're own bike. Every motorcycle ever made comes with a manual. Spend a little of your "hard" earned dollars and buy one. It will save you the trouble of asking us and you clearly haven't figured out the internet yet because you never search for a fucking thing. It's always "where to cop them oil quarts?"

  5. Ed, that isn't a dyna rear wheel, its a stock sportster wheel as it came on this bike. Stop spouting off unless you really know what you're talking about.

    I've never been a big fan of spring seats on bikes without a drop frame like old Harley or rigid frames like mine. I like the small seats that TT&CO make for the sportster.

  6. Triumph.man , that sporty has a set of vance and hines short shots and a set of drag bars with shorty risers. Really easy mods. You might need to buy shorter clutch, brake, and throttle cables but that's easy too.

    The rest of the bike appears to be stock.

  7. Good lord is this ever quoted for fucking truth. And again for good measure

    Truth.

    Take it from someone with an old triumph nonrunning project.

    I have my Evo rigid bike and I still want another one that I can ride more often without having to worry about something breaking.
