• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

rumbling exhaust?

I have ridden Harleys for years, and still love the sound of a nice pipe. Just wondering if there are any after market pipes out there that will fit my 2012 RT, that will give me the same low, throaty rumble?

Record a Harley onto an iPod, and play it over your radio speakers, really loud . . . a much cheaper solution! :joke::roflblack:
 
I wanted more sound from my 2012 RT S, so I had a local muffler shop build me a straight pipe, with a stainless steel tip. It looks good and the sound is good, not as loud as a Harley, and no potato potato. Just got back from a 1000 mile trip with my Harley friends and they gave it a positive grade. I thought at first it would be too loud but after riding all day for 2 days I have grown to love it. I can listen to the tunes coming from the stock speakers with out full volume. It has its own sound, but pleasant. I'm not a kid, I'm 70 years old and still feel like a youngster.

:nopic:
 
Not gonna find one. Harley has a single pin crank and Spyders has dual pin cranks. Harley low RPM engine, Spyder high RPM engines. Hindle to me sounds the best.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to have two crankpins on a V-twin engine and not have thing hit each other. Try as we might the Harley sound will never come out of a Rotax engine and i'm glad about that :yes:

I have two brothers but nothing near HD...
 
If you really want the sound of a Big-Twin...
It's Trade-in time at the local "HawgShop"!nojoke
NOTHING that you do to the Spyder's exhaust system will make a high-rev rocket sound like a high-torque monster...
 
I just installed an HMF exhaust on my 2013 RS and absolutely love the throaty sound. It is not a "Harley sound", but it sounds damn good and for the price you can't beat it! After buying an HMF exhaust I will never spend Two Brothers money on an exhaust again.

Price is good but nothing for the RT series, bummer.
 
v - twins

AS far as I know there are only two twins with a single crank pin are HD and Yamaha and they do have about the same rumble . Spyder is not a single crank pin
 
There is one coming soon. A very low rumble and great sound. I just ordered it. I'll post pics, info and a soundbyte once I have it installed.
I had one on my M109R before I got the RT. I'm pretty sure the guy that makes these will also be making a Y pipe to replace the catalytic converter also.:doorag:
 
If I wanted the sound of a Harley, I'd buy a Harley.

Of all the bikes I've had over the years, I've never put on an aftermarket exhaust.
 
I just installed:
Akrapovic exhaust, performance air cleaner, Y Pipe to eliminate cat and magnum tuner. When I was far enough away from home (I thought) I throttled on hard and could not believe how it changed the sound. When I got home my wife said she heard me... "It sounds like a Harley now" It even has a bit of a lumpy idle reminiscent of "potato potato".
