Its easy to maintain the chrome as Harley did a good job on their chrome parts. Just polish once a while and normally only clean with water.

Really cannot stand e bike with a puny sewing machine exhaust. Saw a group of harley riders lasr night. They sound so original harley tone. I really want a loud exhaust.

 

Remus or ackrapovic? I'm coming next month.

 

The stock pipe will get a bit louder after running in.

Of cos it can't compare with these after market exhaust.

What kind of helmets does the majority wears on a sportster? Is full face a overkill?

Well said because all this while I've been wearing full face for more than 3 years, recently wore open face, felt weird.. Lol

Now I have gotten used to wearing Flipups.... So u get best of both worlds.... During slow speed, flip it up as a open face... at higher speed then use it as a FF....

 

Saw the advert that in Woodlands centre shop , they are selling Caberg Flipups at bargain $155 .... tempted to buy.. Mine from Motoworld HJC areadi cost $200
