Hey guys. I'm changing out the exhaust on my 05' Heritage Softtail, and have looked at a bunch of different pipes and manufactures. I'm looking for something to provide a nice low rumble, without getting me thrown out of the neighborhood when I leave for work at 5:30 AM. Any suggestions??

Anyone have any experience with using tire sealants? I ask because I laid my '03 Ultra Classic down in late Oct. due to a puncture that caused a rapid deflation of my rear tire at about 75mph. Almost had the bike stopped but the bike low sided on the right, tire came off rim and slammed it on the left. Bike got only cosmetic damage but it scratched up a lot of parts, I got minor rash from a very short slide but suffered broken collar bone due to being thrown off bike. Only issue I'm concerned about is possibly it causing an out of balance of the tire at higher speeds. I know if my tire hadn't lost air so quickly I could have gotten it stopped without laying it down so I'm thinking a sealer of some sort might help a situation such as I experienced. Any comments or advice is appreciated....

A big Howdy to you all. I hope that everyone is doing fine and starting to get ready for Christmas.

My boss has been keeping me busy at work and my girls have been keeping me busy at home. I have simply not had the time to properly surf and post in so long. Oh well, better than being unemployed or not having my family.

I hope to be able to come back to the site and read and post a bit more over the next week or so but just in case the Holiday Season does take up most of my time then I would like to go ahead and wish you all A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

I'm now a racing grandpa. Wondering how exclusive that club is?

I have a stock 1998 evo with cycle shack slip fit mufflers and a dyna tuned CV carb. It runs well except for a very annoying and loud burbling or continuous popping while decelerating down long hills or grades in a downshifted mode to slow the bike down using the engine. Is this a problem or just the nature of the beast. The bike runs well otherwise, is peppy, and doesn't cough out of carb or anything. It does crank a bit to start it if it sits for more then 3 days, but warms quickly and once started, you can almost immediately push the enrichner in to half and it will run good.

Thanks for some guidence for the new guy
