My official HD parts book lists the rocker arms to have numbers 17360-66a for the rear exhaust and front intake and number 17375-66a for the front exhaust and rear intake. These numbers are not the same as the ones I have. ...Not being one to leave well enough alone, or at least not to let a good running stock bike alone, I started looking for a new exhaust system. My.Fiddlin' with the Sporty today I noticed something... The flange that holds the rear exhaust pipe/coupling at the rear head is loose. Really loose.I just found some used Python III slip-ons on craigslist. They have a few scratches and are used (apparently) for only $30. They were on a '08 sporty.Its apparent to me, that the later model bikes are not being detailed in the traditional harley style, such as the butt ugly exhaust on the F that wraps around the engine, key relocated to the Asian bike position to make a nice eye sore ...I have read on this site that true dual exhaust systems have no back pressure, so you lose some torque and horsepower.

The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.....
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said,
'I want to hang out with God.'
St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? '
Arthur said, 'Yes, that's me...'
God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?'
Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?'
God said, 'Ah, yes.'
'Well,' said Arthur, professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention!
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds
3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much.
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust .
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!
'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'
God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.
The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'.
Ok, I wrote an introduction to this quesiton that was longer than some books, so I just started over because otherwise I'd never get any answers 'cause the intro was longer than the freaking question itself. I'll try to keep it "to the point", but I have always had trouble with that. I ramble. I'm a rambler and I rant. I'm a ranter, putting in millions of details that have nothing to due with the topic. OK - my dad buys his second motorcycle as he is wanting to get into riding. I have been riding every year weather permitting for 13 year and I know my way around a bike pretty good. I have never owned a harley davidson, only Yamaha's and kawasaki's. The first bike my dad bought was a Kawasaki. He's been taking riding lessons from me for free, and he also signed up for a course at our local community college that is taught by guys who've been riding for centuries, and they'll teach him things that even I don't know. So one day we are driving and there's a sparkling clean sportster (1200 XLH) sitting on the side of the road ("for sale sign clearly visible"). I call the number and offer the guy $3000 as it's a 1990 and has 15,000 miles on it, although the bike is FLAWLESS and loaded with aftermarket shiny things, although all moving parts are stock. He accepts. I tell him that it's actually my dad who is interested and I'll have him call back later. He does, and sets up a test ride (to be performed by me) the next day. We go, I ride (I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS wear a helmet), but I didn't on this test ride because I had to be able to hear EVERYTHING IN THE ENGINE, ETC. So I ride for about 10 minutes and the bike is in such incredible condition I just can't believe it. I report back and dad agrees to buy it on the spot. The next day he pays the guy and get's the temp tag and insures it. Tonight I went down and picked it up. While we were in the guys large and spotless garage, fully equipped with about 10 motorcycles, 3 cars, and 4 toolbenches, I didn't see the expected accompanyment of tool kits. So I figure he outsources his maintainence. Ok. I turn the fuel switch to "on" from "off", and all of a sudden the bike is literally purging the entire tank of gas out of what appears to be a 1/4 inch rubber hose that someone had threaded between those iconic thin metal bars that run vertically from the crankcase up each side of the cylinders. The hose STARTS at the bottom of the air filter, although I don't thing it has anything to do with it and runs up direcly to the "OFF/ON/RESERVE" switch. So I quickly switch it off, and it stops leaking. The seller is horrified because he's already been paid and we haven't even taken possession yet, 2. The bike didn't do this when I rode it the day before, and 3. his dog bit my dad in the ass when he went over to pay him (and my dad is a lawyer, "bad combination of events"). So we spend 40 minutes trying to figure out first of all what the hell that hose is anyway.... Why is it now leaking fuel copiously, and was it originally connected to something else? did it become disconnected? Next I decide "ok, let's take it just outside of the garage, fire it up with the switch on "off", then turn it "on", which we did, and it still pissed fuel all over the ground. By this time I'd removed it from it's previous position up against the base of the outside of the lower part of the block (too hot for rubber hose, obviously), and I'd zip-tied it so it wouldn't touch the exhaust either. Ok, WTF!!!!???? So, in a last ditch attempt to just GET IT HOME, I decided to clamp it off. Between the 2 of us we decided to use a paper clamp (not clip, CLAMP), those black things with the little silver handles to open and close them that can be used to pinch other people for fun at the office. We also screwed a screw of slightly larger diameter than the inside of the hose into the end of it, and...... drumroll... IT STILL LEAKED, SOMEHOW, but to a lesser degree. He followed me home and the performance of the bike was severely compromised. I had to keep it revved at stop signs and it felt like it was missing on one of the cylinders occasionally. SO: WHAT IS THIS HOSE, WHAT IS IT'S PURPOSE, AND WHAT'S IT SUPPOSED TO DO? IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE HOOKED TO SOMETHING? IF SO, WHAT? PLEASE. I WILL RECANT ALL MY YEARS OF RIDING JAP BIKES IF SOMEONE WILL PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. Otherwise, I'm going to have to pay someone to do it and they might die of laughter from how stupid I am that I couldn't figure it out on my own. This bike is beautiful and I'm really hoping that it doesn't reinforce the rumor that Harley's are hanger queens (which is the only reason I hadn't bought one myself prior to this bike). I know that there is someone out there who can answer this in the blink of an eye. Also the oil/filter and plugs haven't been changed in friggin' trillions of years so I'm going to do that as soon as I can get the right plugs for it. I bought a case of 4 cycle bike oil about 3 years ago and I still haven't
used it all, so this oil change should finish it off. That maintainence I can do myself, but if I end up having to take the bike to my mechanic to have this hose thing figured out, I'll just have them change the plugs/oil/filter. Well, that about does it. If I remember anything else I'll post an update. Thank you all in advance for your help. I'm sorry I'm such a dumb-ass but this is my first Harley and I'm still basically a Harley virgin so I haven't found the g-spot on them yet. Thx, john in Iowa
2009 harley needs a great exhaust sound and who knows what works the best.
Ok basically me and some friends installed a new short ram intake with a nice filter and a new exhaust and 3a racing muffler. My car sounds louder than a fucking harley davidson and actually sounds great not like a fart cannon P.O.S. Ohhh yea and some new Platinum +4 spark plugs. I haven't told my parents yet and I want to try and be quiet should I drive down the hill on the way home and not hit the gas at all? or should I tell them and take the punishment if there is any. I think my dad might drive it tomorrow so should I just tell him I put a tip on it or what?
i might make a video and put it on Youtube. but yea the problem is NOT THE MUFFLER you ppl i just had a friend install a new racing muffler that's why it is even louder lol. I like it but it sounds like a harley on steroids so it is definitely noticable. the intake also makes it louder as well as the exhaust. I just don't want to wake up the whole fucking town everytime I drive by their house lol
i've seen tons of regular plain old iron 883's out there for sale but im looking to buy one with some minor custom work. im looking for something with drag bars for sure and not stock exhaust. but other than that stock or would it just be better for me to buy a new one and put those on myself i guess i'd rather just go the easy way.
Wondering if I did this, which would change the exhaust, if I would need to get the bike recalibrated. I'm wanting a little bit more sound out of my bike as the reason for possibly doing it. Is there any chance that doing this could have negative effects on my bike? Thanks
Okay im 18 years old and I have been riding motorcycles since i was 6 and I have owned many motorcycles the last one i owned was a 2005 honda cbr 600rr racing with a carbon fiber two brothers racing exhaust power comander everything it was fast i had it about 180mph but the question is im intrested in buying a harley davidson buell blast and the blast is obviously the smallest one but I want to know if anyone thinks I wouldnt like it i mean i stunt ride alot and love the corners and i hear there amazing at that I dont really care about the speed difference but Im just wondering if you think I would like it plus it looks pretty comfty for me and my girlfriend to ride...but outta curiousity what is the blasts top speed???
I have a 2003 f150 harley davidson truck. It has the supercharged 5.4L engine. I already have the K&N filter and am working on the exhaust system but want to get a programmer first. I have been looking it the edge evo and diablo predator. I will run the 93 octane performance program all the time and am not too worried about gas. I just want performance. If yall have any personal experience with either or any different programmers, any information will be greatly appreciated.
Old man Harley (who invented Harley Davidson's) dies. So he get's up to heaven and he's standing outside of the pearly gates when St. Peter walks up and says,"Hey, aren't you old man Harley? You invented Harley Davidson moter cycles didn't you?" Old man Harley agrees that he did. St. Peter says,"Well of course you get in! And we think a lot of you around here, so you pick anyone you want to see and talk to and I'll make it happen." So old man Harley thinks about it and says,"I've always wanted to meet God, and talk to him for a bit." St. Peter says,"Done, follow me." So St. Peter leads him into heaven up these long stairs in the clouds and up to God's office. Old man Harley steps into God's office and see's him sitting on his throne. God looks down to see who his visitor is and says,"Well, aren't you old man Harley who invented the motorcycles?" Again old man Harley agrees and then adds,"And aren't you the guy who invented women?" God looks a little confused but answers yes. Old man harley says,"Good invention. But I noticed some flaws in your design." God says,"OH, and what are they" Harley says,"Well, the intake is way too close to the exhaust for one. Two, they tend to chatter, and Three the ass end wobbles at high speeds." God sits and thinks about that for a minute, then leans over to his computer and starts typing. Once his printer had printed what he was working on, he looked at the paper and said to the old man,"Your right, my invention dose have it's flaws, but statistics show that more men ride my invention than yours."
LOL!!

You know you're a Harley rider if...
....you're unable to let your bike simply IDLE at a stop light.
....you confuse the word "character" with the more accurate term
"engineering flaws."
...."water cooled" means standing on the side of the road, in the rain, waiting for a your buddy to come in his pickup truck.
I have a 79 fxs-80 that I bought about 7 months ago. It has shotgun pipes and the guy I bought it from said he took the kick arm off because it would hit the pipes. I need to find an arm and pedal that I can operate without impacting the exhaust. Anyone have suggestions?
Just bought a 2008 HD 1200 sportster. I don't care for the stock exhaust and love the "Screaming Eagle II" that some of the neighbors run. However, they don't make them any longer. Does anyone know of something sounding close to these. I am told the new "Screaming Eagle I" does not even compare. The "Python" is way too loud.
E-bay has several Screaming Eagle II for "Softtail". Does anyone know if these will work on my 2008 1200 Sportster. Called the dealer and they can't seem to answer even when I provide the part number.
1200 nightster with 1243 miles rhinehart exhaust stage 1 kit and forward control
What I mean is won't the current owners of the big twin HD Bikes be looked upon in a negative matter that they are the leading cause of wasting fuel, contributing to pollution and global warming?
Everybody else is driving fuel efficient cars and trying to save the planet from destruction, but the Harley Davidson bikes that get maybe 25 MPG and spit out toxic C02 mixed with oil from the exhaust.
Will there be protests where people will take sledge hammers and smash those horrible HD's?
The smell from the exhaust was horrible!
I was starting to get light-headed and after the ride was over I had a splitting headache.
Should I sell my 2003 Harley SportsterXL1200C for $7600?(with only 500 miles!), in order to get a classic car (probably a 70's Corvette)?
Here's what my bike has...
2003 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200C 100th Anniversary Edition
Only 500 miles!!!
Gorgeous Blue, with 100th Anniversary Logo on gas task
Mint condition, custom exhaust, bike sounds and looks great!
There are thousands of motorcycles in San Diego alone and this stupid "Harley Davidson" drivers with the so call 'screamer eagle' exhaust pipes driving down the streets making so much decibels that hurt people ear drums to the point of giving a headache, imagine what is doing to the little babies ears?! This is so inconsiderate I think the second hand smoke from a cigarette is just as bad to the little ones. I can not express in words except for maybe @^&(*%)+# sons of #&*@!+'s that want to feel like men but can't they are just noise makers no good for %&*$t. What do you think?!.
the motorcycle is a 2009 harley davidson you can see the rivets from the back of the bike
Its not as loud as a harley davidson
I just bought and picked up my 2009 Harley Davidson Dyna Super Glide Custom in blue pearl. Now after about 500 miles i'm going to change the stock pipe. I'm considering the V&H Big Radius 2 to 2 pipes. There going to run me about $650 but I like the slick style and the sharp ends. Right now i'm content witht the power, but i want to crank up the volume and get that mean badass harley sound. With a Screamin Eagle heavy breather, and some V&H Big Radius 2 to 2 pipes will the bike be rumbling.... I also plan to put 12.5" mini apes on the bike which i'll probablu do before anything but Right now those 3 things are as far as my budget goes. I know you can buy fuel packs etc but I'm limited to what I can spend. So with a Screamin Eagle heavy breather, V&H Big radius, and some mini apes will that fit well on the bike? Any suggestions? Mabe forget the heavy breather and add a fuel pack or something like that, IDk help me out....
Just wondering if the Screamin' Eagle has a deep thunderous rumble sound or if it's a more high-pitched popping sound, kind of like a machine gun. Thanks!!!
To flattrack, it's a simple question. if all you have to do is sit on yahoo answers and troll all day, you should consider getting a job and quit mooching off the government. I didn't know how else to describe was I was trying to ask...if that offends you, get over it!
This has been happing for months and the car has lacked to quit running so im encouraged that it may be something simple. He's not much of a fixer and im hoping i can fix the problem simply. a bad smell comes from the exhaust when started as well. please help

I have access to a set of Harley Davidson Screaming Eagle Exhaust.. but Im not sure if it will fit on a V-Star 650
Not referring to that bolt on abortion designed for the European market. I mean Dual carbs, forward facing exhaust, etc, like they did in '83? There is such a demand, even a bolt on kit would be hugely well received. They didn't sell well then because people were too blown away by obscenely fast Rice rockets. Mert Lawill produces a limited number at a resultingly high price. Baisley heads toy with the idea- with good results, from what I have heard- but still, after all these years, nothing substantial and affordable.
Ninebad, we all know that one as being the most obvious answer but I was referring to an American Icon, for better or worse and something that is a great deal of fun to drive in spite of everything else. Remember that when you don't have an icon you must resort to any 'cheap' trick in mass production, not that this is necessarily an easy or meaningless thing to achieve- something that has even extended into Harley clones. I merely think that an American V-twin is sweet, for its' own sake and wouldn't mind some obvious, been-around-for-a-while upgrade that is much desired to happen some time.
By all means ride your Japanese motorcycles.
#3, wait a minute, I own two Buells, a Norton, and several two stoke Jap bikes that whoop ass- don't confuse me with what you merely presume to be.
I have a 2008 nightster, and have added screaming eagle exhaust and air intake. i was told i will probably have to have it tuned for the bike to work properly. Has anyone used the efi tuner from hd? how easy is it to use? Does it work good? Any other brands that would work as well?
thanks for any info.
Cranks up and runs fine cold, but when it gets warmed up it runs very rough (kind of like a harley davidson) the check engine light comes on and black smoke comes out of the exhaust. I replaced the entire exhaust system, as well as put in a K&N air filter. Please help. Is it the computer? What's going on with this?
Marriage
A man and a woman, who have never met before, but are both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper bunk and she in the lower.
At 1:00 AM, the man leaned over and gently woke the woman saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married."
"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.
"Good," she replied. "Get your own damn blanket!"
After a moment of silence, he farted

Anti-Sleep Treatment
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local church. "Reverend," she said, "I have a problem, my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?"
"I have an idea," said the minister. "Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg."
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.
"Jesus!", Jones cried as his wife jabbed him the leg with the hatpin.
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister noticed. "Who is your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
"God!" Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin.
"Right again," said the minister, smiling. Before long, Mr. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin again.
The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?"
Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, "You stick that goddamned thing in me one more time and I'll break it in half and shove it up your ass!"
"Amen," replied the congregation.
and do you think there should be noise pollution ordinances regulating them and other loud vehicles?

St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God. Arthur then asked God, "Hey, aren't you the inventor of woman?"
God said, "Ah, yes."
"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention:
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front end protrusion.
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much.
4. The intake is placed way to close to the exhaust. And finally,
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous."
"Hmmmm, you may have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."
God went to his Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur, "but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours."
I started to listen to a song on the radio (classic rock genre) and a song came on. For various reasons, I couldn't listen to the song. But it started with only a drummer drumming what sounded to be a hot rod or a Harley engine. (you know, the real deep "potato potato potato" exhaust). I had heard the song before, meant to remember it b/c I liked it, then forgot.
I know this is really vague and kind of oddly detailed, but any ideas let me know. Thanks!
I have a harley davidson 883 sportster. 1997 model.
It intermitently back fires through both the exhaust and carb.
I've just obtained a Harley Davidson and the pipes are badly weathered and have rust ALL over them. I'm new to motorcyles and know little about this kind of stuff. What is a good way to remove lots of rust from the chrome on the exhaust pipes?
there's a number 5 next to the foot brake does anybody know what it means? Recommendations on exhaust for my 2008 harley nightster
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles
have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'
St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson
motorcycle? '
Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'
God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise
and pollution and can't run without a road?'
Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?'
God said, 'Ah, yes.'
'Well,' said Arthur, 'professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention !
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds
3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!
'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'
God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results.
The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'.
the American Motorcycle association reported that the Oakland California police department has decided to equip each of it's 45 harley davidson motorcycles with after market exhaust systems. Most of the officers complained that they do not "feel safe" on the quiet new bikes. So the new exhaust systems are now rated at 93 decibels, well above the mandatory stock 80 decibels (federal limit) and illegal under California state law as well.
Well, magz looks like your still acting like an immature little kid. Why can't you give a real answer instead of acting like a 10 year old. Made up? no, I told you where the info came from The american motorcycle association, you know, the national group that represents what you allegedly ride!
Good one Scott M, but it's not the cops breaking the law, it's the city of Oakland.
Ironic though isn't it?
Slipknot, Piggies? that went out in the 60's. As for helping or not, I can only say that I bought a new bike and took it out, it had VERY quiet pipes. I had a gal in a cage right beside me, with my front wheel even with her front door as she was slowly passing me on the right. She had her cell phone to her left ear,blocking her vision. She drifted right over into me. Almost the exact situation occurred after I replaced my stock slipons with louder ones. But this time I was passing her, she had no doubt at all that I was beside her and corrected back into her lane instantly. But "sound" isn't the only reason I change pipes on my bikes. Improved MPG, more HP, and less heat, as well as burning cleaner are just a few reasons why.

My mini bike is really loud and the exhaust tips are not whats causing it, i have a 2003 harley davidson mini bike and i have taken off the exhaust pipes to try and quiet it down and it hasn't worked. It's the engine and i dont know how to make it more quiet. Anything you can mix with the gas mixture?
SPECS-
49cc
50:1 ratio gas/oil
Goes about 30-35 mph
2 stroke motor
I hear a loud almost like a dirt bike sound....i took off the fancy dancy pipes because i thought that was making the noise. but the noise is still coming from the opening, so it's not the pipes.
Thanks to those answers. I am lookin at buying after-market pipes from a guy qho has a 97 n I have an 05, just wanted to make sure they would fit my bike...

God said, Yes.
Well, said Arthur, professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention:
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusions;
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds;
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much;
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust;
5. And the maintenance costs are enormous!
Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed, God said to Arthur, but more men are riding my invention than yours.
what is the mpg for a big Harley Davidson, not that it matters, the exhaust note compensates for all, but just out of curiosity, what's the mpg for a tourer Harley....or any Harley with an engine around the 1500 mark.
im looking for a loud exhaust system for my car. I want it to be loud. I don't want it to be annoying loud like those big fat exhaust pipes that teenagers put on. I want an exhaust system thyat is loud and that sounds like i have a hemi in it. I like the exhaust sounds from like the new strong mustangs, or harley davidson f-150 and a bunch of others. Any good sites to look for good loud exhaust systems?
I am noticing load popping from the exhaust while trying to maintain a steady speed and also a huge lose of power like the motor is starving for fuel.
