What are you running for muffler's on your HD Trike ?

[Thfraser]

I'm running stock exhaust with a VH Power Duals, with a tune update. I haven't really had a chance to run it as temperatures have plummeted around here. But next week, I'll start commuting into work again.

However, so far I've noticed:

1) Tone is better, but not too loud. They are louder, I'm sure its due to fact that the Cat is no longer part of the equation.

2) Idle is much better. Engine was lean from the factory, the tune richened up the mixture, so it seems to idle smoother.

I can't wait to see how it works out in the long run.

Good on you, blighter. I may do the same when my warrantee runs out. I have yet to see any power gain from an after market muffler so, as far as I can tell, it is noise for noises' sake. Many kill low end torque which is what a Tri-G needs and require an extra piece to get it back. And need I mention the cost $$$$? Of the top of my head, I figure that a tuned pipe for a H-D at 3000 RPM would be over 30 feet long so ... If all somebody wants is noise, blow the horn. It's free.

Remember The Silent Grey Fellow?

Natch YMMV
