Harley Riders gather

[tubtub]

Halo there,

I've got a friend who wants to let me take over his 07 vrod but as I am "vertically challanged" i have a problem with comfortably reaching the clutch and brake at the same time! haha. Can rest my foot but cannot engage gear or brake.

Any "VC" ppl in the same situation as me before and can advice? I have tried calling HD Singapore and they have a kit to fix this issue but will only reduce the distance by 1 inch. Weird hor.

Hello people, I hope everyone is well and good,

 

again this idiot is in need of advice........

 

I thought i decided on putting on python mufflers so i made a few calls,

 

1) When i spoke to Chris at Sun Hog when i dropped by last week, he roughly mentioned 800 for the pythons, im not sure if i misunderstood whether it was for mufflers or full system.

 

2) Tony said he doesnt have pythons for my bike but suggested the 49 state HD mufflers at 350

 

3) Mr Yee also doesnt have pythons but he suggested removing the baffles on the stock pipes at 200...

 

As of now Mr Yee's suggestion looks the most tempting, but its not just because of the price. He said removing the baffles would give the bike a deeper bassier sound, which is what I would like. He also mentioned the pythons would be raspier in comparison. And keeping the look of the current pipes is a plus for me cos i like how they look, its just how they sound that bothers me. He also mentioned come time for inspection, he could install silencers....

 

Does anyone have any feed back or experience on this? What are the pros and cons to removing the baffles?

 

What should i expect to pay of a set of python mufflers?

 

And would removing the baffles mean the pipes is a straight through? And will it be very loud? As in neighbour hating type of loud?

 

Thanks in advance for all your patience and input, I really appreciate all the advice i've received so far

 

Have a good week ahead.

@stevenbarter13

 

you have a pm.

 

anyway that is what i did for the exhaust..

 

  maxxmadness aka 35 said:

 

For exhaust, i have choose to get a brand new second hand stock exhaust from ebay, about US $40 for a pair of muffles and the drilling about $60 from any of the mentioned harleys workshops. It will gives you a low bassy rumbles, not as loud and pitchy as after markets. ...

I am using python 3 for my sportster, it's a full system.

Power wise got no idea as it comes with the bike when i own it.

Sound wise...if I ride to work in the morning. I gonna start( too loud in my neighbourhood) and move off, when i reach office, i am half deaf with my half cap on becos of the wind and pipe noise.

I'm pretty amazed that a class 2 bike can get 20km/l or more actually. You don't find it on many or any in fact. Though my current ride gave me 22km/l last I checked. Heee. I think tuning it also makes a big difference. My ex sporty was pretty well tuned in my opinion, and current ride, after I did my valve clearance and tuning etc, jumped at least 4km/l or more. Wee!!!!

 

Ah, you haven't seen how much consumption my Shadow Aero can do hehe...

 

  knightrider said:

for ur Qns 1... if got fuel leak at the cap's lock then should hv fstrong fuel smell if i'm not wrong.....

 

It's not a dripping leak. It's an evaporative leak, especially when I haven't ride it for a long time

[plasticblackspecs]

Your Aero can't do 180kmph comfortable leh. heee.

 

Shall we meet for a tok kok session this weekend? Doesn't have to be a Harley ride.

[knightrider]

any1 got any idea where do i get these eye wear in sg...?

@stevenbarter:

 

Good morning. To reply you:

 

1) S$800 pythons quote should be full systems as a full system Python listed in the fat book is around US$400+.

 

2) IMHO, removing the baffles wouldnt be that good. Removing the baffles may reduce (a little) your Hp & low end Tq with no backpressure. With regards to the backpressure, you will need it in the exhaust so the motor runs right. If you remove the baffles, it will make more noise, but run poorly even with a rejet/remap.
