Hey Mates, that sounds really anoying. Is it the same for each bike independent from the year? I want to travel with my german shovelhead year 82 and have a Arlen Ness 2in1 installed. In Germany you may have more noise than a modern bike. The registered noise is 104dB. I´m really asking myself if I will get a bunch of trouble at the RTA. I would love to place a photo from the bike but I really don´t know how. Regs
