    Hi FLAMES

    No noises from my motor but i do find they dont sound real smooth until you are cruising at a staedy speed then no sounds at all just the Harley exhaust note.

    Maybe get your dealer to have a listen.

    Both HD's (big twins) I've owned have quiet days and noisy days. Yesterday was a noisy day. I can't explain why, but I'm sure it's not the way I warm it up.
    It's a top end noise, these days I just ignore it and write it off as one of those "character" things you live with when you ride something with pushrods.
