I think I mentioned in another thread I’d like a set of their pipes on my R18. One of the best sounding exhausts I heard when I worked at HD and great quality.Hey,no aurgument from me.I say go for it.I have been riding since 1962 and have modified or changed everything from exhausts to Ported heads,Big Bore Kits etc.I had 1 bike that lived on a dyno.That being said,I settled in on just a tuner and A/C upgrade on my R18C because it has a sidecar and don't want the bike to be louder.If it were a 2 wheeled ride,I like a bobber style like MilwDave and probably would do a set of Freedom mufflers and servo buddies.
Funny,I see the world changing after stomping around for 72 years.There are a few changes over the last couple of years that could effect my wallet to list some here:
Dynojet can not sell any of their tuners in California(I think Colorado is next).
Vance and Hines paid a high price and discontinued sales to some states.
Indian is still selling stg1,2 & 3 kits till they are gone .The stg1 Indian mufflers can't be ordered(a few dealers have a set or two) anymore which are recommended if the stg2cams or stg3 kits are installed.So the dealers are selling aftermarket mufflers with the stg/upgrades.
HD is to the point they will red flag your bike if the computer picks up on a tuned ecu.
So it is good you are looking buy a complete system and keeping your oem exhaust intact.
On my 22 Indian I went with 111/stg2 cams,round A/C and A pair of new old stock 4 inch Khrome Werks mufflers that have no marking or off road stamp.They come with interchangable baffle inserts.I have 3 of them.One is a dB killer that actually increases low end torque and onlu looses about 2-3 hp on the high end.I also have a baffle they don't make anymore that is a straight thru perforated loud baffle but I run the louvered baffle which is the deepest sound muffler I have ever heard.
I would like to see someone near KR and take their R18 so they could make an exhaust.The also make TAB and oem mufflers w/cat free headers.
