Those sound perfect. Loud pipes suck. They're so fucking annoying. They sound great....for 5 minutes. Then they drive you nuts and annoy the rest of the world with the obnoxious decibels. Don't listen to the idiots who say you need louder pipes.
No, they aren't loud enough to drown out pipes with no baffles. They do sound good though and the big thing for me is they are street legal. Last thing I need is hassle from the Po Po for illegal pipes
are screamin eagle mufflers loud? and can the baffles be removed? i need a new muffler for my quad and i found some on ebay i want them to be loud so i can actually hear mine when riding beside someone with an hmf pipe with no baffles..
I installed the street legal SE slip-ons recently on my 2010 Iron. Much better than the stock HD mufflers. I'm not getting the same sound as a set of Rineharts, but at least I won't have the local authorities busting my chops.
Also, they do sound much better off-camera(like most other muffs). My camera mic didn't pick-up the lower deeper tone of the muffs.
Oh and if I drop my hand to people, or back in the day raise my fist, Its becouse we are all sharing a sence of brother hood when we are on a bike!
Any bike!
and if I knew who you were jetboy707 and I seen you on the road I would flip your ass off instead! becouse poser's like you have lost the true meaning of what biking is all about.
its not about being better than anyone else becouse you ride with the hells angels, or the sundowners, or the U.M.F its about the brother hood!
okay...i ride a scooter...a cheap fucking chinese one... and i dont wave to bikers, because i understand its a whole different world...but i used to own a 1980 honda 750k, and just got the scooter recently to save some fucking gas, and now i have cycle fever again HUGELY, with three kids and a wife...the scooter was my way back in..so dont fucking judge and dismiss em...no idiot thinks hes a cycle rider on the scoot, but why not acknowledge the fun being had..damn.
i acknowledge anyone on 2 wheels. once went to a bike show when i lived in England, ended up meeting a shit load of vespa riders from Ireland going to the same place and spent the weekend with them, had an awesome time and even enjoyed having a blast on a scooter!
Okay I'm tired of all these dumb fucking scooter riders dropping their fucking hand to me, I will not show you fucking respect.And while i'm on the subject if you and your old lady are wearing matching outfits and helmets and it all matches your fucking bike your not a fucking biker. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for riding, it doesn't matter to me what you ride, but if you ride scooters, don't try to act liker a biker...its a lifestyle not a fucking hobby.
I used to have a buell S1W (wish i didn't sell it now), and that had a screamin eagle short shot on it. any of the short shot screamin eagle kits will make your presence known, but if you ride long distance you might wanna get the slightly longer ones so they're not right in your ear for 13 hours straight (not nice on a v-twin. numb hands and deaf for 2 days afterwards)
Just doing slip-ons doesn't require a remap. If you get the stage 1 air cleaner kit, then get a dynojet power commander. They have a map for the HD slip-ons and stage 1 kit. Could still be fine tuned after that.
No one had them at the time. There weren't many Nightster's rolling around when I got mine. Hell, HD didn't have any black accessories whatsoever when it was released.
Not bad, but I've never liked the Nightsters. They just look cheap with the black painted items. I put a set of Samsons on my 08 1200C and they are bad ass. Loud pipes save lives! To hell with the bastards in Denver...if you know, you know. If not, google Denver noise limits.
looks a bit odd with those pipes.. Short shots look better eventhough not totally legal. But hey each to their own, love the colour of the bike, nicer than my black and silver nightster!
HD sells three different color paint pens for this purpose. I went with orange for obvious reasons. Cost was about $15 for two pens and about three hours of work; it's incredibly tedious.
your only saying that because you dont have anything to compare it to.i love the bike im just saying that it comes with muffler and these are mufflers as well.people there is a difference between mufflers and pipes thats all im saying .for the guys that want to buy pipes be sure you know.becauce im tired of guys telling me to look at there knew pipes and all i see is hi priced mufflers.thats my thought and im sticking to it!
for anyone that cares your local muffler shop will bend you some stainless steel pipes into any shape you want for around a $100 .just go talk to them.
Thanks. I bought a full exhaust that had the SE slip-ons and heat shields on eBay for $175. Can't beat that. I now have a full stock exhaust to sell and buy some other goodies! :-)
Im lovin it man !!!!!Sporty's are truely a great ride.I've got a 06 custum with the S,E's ON IT and Im thinkin of puttin the Paul Yaffe drag pipes on her.Anyone have any input on these.
Yes, the slip ons and stage 1 air cleaner kit add HP and torque. You can view the specs on the HD website. There was a distinct difference in throttle response when I put the pipes, air cleaner and power commander on.
Several reasons. Main reason is the SE's are 50 state street legal so no tickets, next is my neighbors always complained about my last Sporty being too loud (straight shots on it) and tried to get the condo association on my ass. Cost is another reason and also there was a map available from Dynojet that matched my setup exactly so I really had a bolt on deal with no trip to the dyno for tuning. Last but not least, the performance gains on the SE's is really unbeatable for the money.
Nicce bike... I have the same one with Blacked out rineharts and all of the screamin eagle parts.... air cleaner, rev limiter, ect. ect.....its a beauty
Very nice! I have the 2007 Sporty 1200 Custom with stage 1 intake and I just got the slash out slip-ons. I can't wait to check them out. My reamed out pipes are way too loud.
Keep an eye out on eBay. I got the entire exhaust (heat shields and all) for $175 shipped, I was expecting just the slip ons. So I have a full stock exhaust sitting in the garage. I can easily turn around and sell it for what I have invested.
Awesome Sporty, Man! I love the new nightster. The only thing I'd change besides the stock exhaust, would be to install the black mini ape-hangers that are available. I think they're either 9" or 12", and they look wicked on this bike.
I am not an ape! :-) I am a drag bar person myself. I was just in the HD dealer the other day and they had one with the black ape hangers. Looks good, just not my style.
one day when I have my 5 motorcylcles...this will be one of them...for now its an old beemer, 06 v strom 1000, ktm dirt bike, for just cruising in town it would be youre bike, then I need a hayabusa, ok 6 bikes, a new ural with side car...ok 7 a race quad,ok 8 a rz 350
HAHAHA...Please for the love of god bring your 250 up to Southwestern Pennsylvania. I would LOVE to see you smoke anything more than a bicycle. My little brothers kx80 will spank all over that piece of shit and thats a FACT. HAHAHA I am actually falling out of my seat laughing at you!
I have had two harleys that leaked. The only reason they leaked was because the jackass that had them before me put too much oil in the primary. When I drained it and put the correct amount in... no more leaky.
No you don't. If you do then you are passing a low end sportster. There's not way you'd beat a 96" big twin, 110 screamin eagle, or a V-Rod on a 250. So, shut up and stop watching videos of harleys if you don't like them.
AmericanMuscle........... very well put. It's rather amusing, because pbmax obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. I love rolling on the throttle of my nightster, talk about a rush. Yet, I can ride for hours comfortably on my bike, I don't think he could say the same.
i have had 9 harleys . why should i keep them or glory them.i wrote to willi g himself. no reply thats why. i dont ride them no more.custermor care thats what they say.
Then why would you sit there and watch videos of peoples HARLEY'S on youtube? Bashing other peoples stuff just because you had a bad experience is fun isn't it? And my first bike was a Yamaha vstar 1100 and that piece of crap was nothing but a pain in the ass. But I don't do a search for V-Star 1100 then go bash on the guys bikes.
Love that Nightster. I got an '04 XL1200R. Don't see too many around. Nightster's the only XL that has the classic tank (WTF!?) anymore. My Roadster has mid-controls, highway pegs, SE pipes/filter. Pity the posers who tell me, "Girl's bike...when you gonna trade up?...you need forward controls, more chrome...blah, blah." XL's are fun, fast, nimble, versatile. Buy an XL and you're putting your money into the BIKE, not your ego! Ride on...
What do you mean classic tank? My 96 had the exact same tank. Now my 73' Ironhead is running. THAT'S a classic tank right there. I pity the posers as well. Let them try to kick over a sporty and tell me it's a girls bike.
That is fucking SWEET. I want a 1200r bad, those things are fuckin sweet. Odd hearing that fuel pump when you turn it on though! haha Harley's really upgrading their bikes. I still like my old carburated '00 though. If the battery dies, I can still give it a push start. One thing you can't do with these new bikes unfortunately.
Thanks! I still can't get used to hearing the fuel pump prime at key on. :-) I will say that I definitely enjoy not having to mess around with a blasted choke on the cold days. Now, it's just key on and start!
Great video, They aren't real loud but they do have a nice sound. I have a set of these I picked up used just in case the Rines were too loud. I'll have to put them on and post a video.
Dude, your bike looks sweet! THe way yours looks makes me think I should have gone with orange instead of silver... I'm also thinking now that SE pipes may be the way to go. V&H SS might piss off my neighbors too much.
Thanks, I made a few noticeable changes. I lettered the tires orange, painted the air cleaner Harley Vivid Black and wrapped the headers in black exhaust wrap (sealed in black) and painted the heat shields with 1500 degree black silicone paint..really changed the looks.
I will say I am very pleased with the SE slips. Considering how loud my old bike was, there was an adjustment but they really do sound good, just not loud as hell.
I had a '03 883 with drag pipes and after getting to work it took me 20-30 mins to get my hearing back to normal...haha. I wanted good sound without the bleeding ears and these are a nice mix. When you roll on the throttle these definitely sound nice.
I am going to make a new video and get some better sound clips of these pipes. All around though, I like them...like the perfomance gains more than anything.
Nice music!

Great video, They aren't real loud but they do have a nice sound. I have a set of these I picked up used just in case the Rines were too loud. I'll have to put them on and post a video.
Either way it's a great bike! Enjoy.....

Dude, your bike looks sweet! THe way yours looks makes me think I should have gone with orange instead of silver... I'm also thinking now that SE pipes may be the way to go. V&H SS might piss off my neighbors too much.

Thanks, I made a few noticeable changes. I lettered the tires orange, painted the air cleaner Harley Vivid Black and wrapped the headers in black exhaust wrap (sealed in black) and painted the heat shields with 1500 degree black silicone paint..really changed the looks.
I will say I am very pleased with the SE slips. Considering how loud my old bike was, there was an adjustment but they really do sound good, just not loud as hell.

I agree, a little quiet. I have an 06 883R with bassani pro-streets, lets just say my ears bleed after a 30 min ride.Big grins!!!

I had a '03 883 with drag pipes and after getting to work it took me 20-30 mins to get my hearing back to normal...haha. I wanted good sound without the bleeding ears and these are a nice mix. When you roll on the throttle these definitely sound nice.
I am going to make a new video and get some better sound clips of these pipes. All around though, I like them...like the perfomance gains more than anything.
