Guys, this is probably out of left field, but I have just registred for this forum and am looking for Road king advice.
I have just bought my third Harley after a 15 year absence!! It is a 2010 Road King Classic and I love it! The only thing that gets to me is the sound with stock pipes (like a sewing machine). Can anyone advise what would be a good set of slip-ons? I am looking for a good idle note as well as good rumble while on the move - nothing hugely loud, but enough to know I am riding a great Harley!! Also, I don't want to have to remap the EFI or change Air Intake - is that possible with what I imagine will then be a leaner running machine witha changed exhaust?
I have looked at Screaming Eagles as well as Vance&Hines, but I am told they are not that great and they don't really appeal to me. Is there anything out there that anyone would recommend (Rineharts maybe) and where would I get them in AS.
not so much RK related, but I have the SE jobbies on my Dyna & I'm happy with the sound, have been down the LOUD pipes road & all it gets ya is a headache & more interest from the blue gang.......
Thanks Guys - so you are saying that SEs are OK and give you a reasonable enough note?
G"day Lance
welcome to the forum
S&S slipons no remapping needed
i had a set of S/E slip on's on my FXSTC & still got em {only back in the box} , i fitted a set of Cycle Shack slip on pipes & they sound awesome , the S/E give better than OEM sound level & nice note . but if you want a little louder get Cycle Shack pipes from East Coast Custom's , enjoy your new bike ..
Welcome man and congrats on the buy
Welcome Razor-Lance hope you enjoy the forums, have a look on tech tips there mite be some information on pipes.Ok stay safe out there.

Guys, thanks for all your assistance in this. I think I have decided on V&H stnadard slips ons as they seem to sound good and are a reasonbable price (after shelling out 30K plus of rthe RKC)!!
