Sounds like ya gave her some 'Snort'...  Hard to say if it sounds better or not with wimpy lap top speakers  :-\  If you are happy with the result, then Kewl  :cooldude:

Buying one of these beasts, is just the beginning of a long term relationship, to tweak, and customize, all in pursuit of making her uniquely yours  ;)

Kevin,

I think it's pretty fun.  If you like it that makes it even better.  But for my bike I enjoy the "quiet" of the stock mufflers.

My Valkyrie is my first Honda after 30+ years of riding Moto Guzzis.  Do you have any idea how this might affect your air-fuel ratio?  Will the ECU be able to compensate?  And how might this affect mileage?

My Valkyrie is obviously a tad lean on deceleration ("sports car 'burble'").  But I certainly can't complain about mileage (40+ MPG on an engine that is not quite broken in).

If you really want my opinion : the sound is nice, but not for me.  :-[

I feel guilty enough to ride a huge bike, anything smaller would do for sure (not as funny though), not to mention the public transportation which here is one of the best and as I have environmental worries  :roll:, I won't ever modify the exaust system. As a convinced beemer, for the sound I like it low, so the cops don't wake up  :evil: and the long trips are more relaxing  :angel:

You want answers??? Does it sound good? Yep. But I'm a wussy when it comes to exhaust and I am one of the strange ones that likes it quiet.  The slight drone around 65mph with the stock setup is something I would like to kill.

 :police: Sounds good, but I am happy with factory sound as well. how is it at 70mph

Is that the same drone I'm  complain about ?   At around  3 to 4  thousand rpm  ?
If so  ,  I figured out by opening your visor a little allows the some of sound to escape , that's if you are wearing a full face . Wearing my 3/4 face , much much less



If I like to go fast , does that make me a racist ???
