Here's the best part. 

"This Harley-Davidson Exhaust 64768-09 system meets EPA noise emission requirements of 80 db (a) for the following motorcycles.  Installation of this exhaust system on motorcycle models-not specified may violate federal law.  HARFLT1800."

Go figure.  I so happen to have these installed on a HARFLT1800.  How cool is that

Here's what they look like installed...

Hey Jim
            Idea for your next thread.  How to remove the reflector above the license plate light on an 09 SERG . That's one gorgeous looking back porch there EXCEPT for that ugly reflector.

Funny you mention that.  I removed it after I took that picture.

once again - excellent work Jim, your step-by-steps are well done and very much appreciated...love the EPA text, I hadn't noticed it, can't wait to say "yes officer, if you can kneel down you'll see here that these comply, your hand-held must need calibration" ...also like your t-shirt, G B indeed

It's night in Chicago, so this was as good as I could get.  Enjoy...

I was waiting to get my real tag to give me a reason pull the reflector.  That thing has been driving me crazy.  What a piece of junk.  $31K bike and they stick that cheap crap on it.  I've taken the ones off of my saddlebags off as well.  I still need to get the reflectors on the shocks.  That glue is a pain in the @$$.

Great Job on the pics and all.  What size baffles did you install?  How's the sound?  I'm running supertrapp slip ons UCSE3, nice low deep rumble.  What's next dyno time?
 
Thanks for the thread.

I live in the South Loop area of the City close to McCormick Place. 

Wilmette is nice.  I ride up that way all of the time. It's beautiful up there.

I grew up on Lake Ave. a couple of blocks west of Sheridan Dr.   I live about 80 miles northeast of the city now...have for the last 20 years.

Hi Hawk, thanks for the kind words.  I'm just doing my part to help this great board.  moco doesn't support us, so we will have to unite and do it ourselves.  Fine by me! 

I got the 1 3/4" baffles from Fullsac.  Most were going with the 2", so I thought I'd try the smaller size and see if there's much of a difference.  I also live in the City and they are a PITA about loud bikes.  I'm trying to keep it as quiet as possible without restricting performance. 

The sound is a deep rumble, but not too loud.  I'm idling about 99 db's.  This isn't a legal sound test, but basically what I hear using a Radio Shack sound meter.  To compare this, I started out stock at 93db.  When I pulled the cc I was at 96db and with the 1 3/4" I'm at 99 db.  Each exhaust mod has bumped me up about 3db.  I bet if I remove the insulation from the muffler it will significantly increase the volume as well. 

I'm going to Dyno the bike next week.  I'll post the results when I get them.

Thanks for the info Jim.

I'm out in the West Suburbs, maybe we can meet some where for a burger and beer some day.
 
Keep me posted,  this site is the most useful site I've ever read on the internet.

You and others are doing a great job sharing their experiences.

Thanks again.
