Ok guys, I met Brian Klocks today, really nice guy and into Road Glides for sure! Laura was there too and I met her as well. Very Friendly people, he gave me his business card with office and cell numbers. Anyways this is what we talked about.
The exhaust gap in the rear bags and facia. He agrees with us about the 4" stock pipe looking good, but he is developing a 4" slash cut pipe that is supposed to look better and perform really well. He says that it has similar sound quality as a rinehart or v&h, meaning from a stop or downshift, it has a great deep sound. When cruising at 50 or 75, it's a smooth rumble that doesn't interfer with radio sounds and you may even hear your belt. He said that he is going to ship a pair of them to Granite Mountain HD for me and let me demo them for him.
We talked about windshield. He agreed that the 8" would better accomodate a shorter person and inform me that if the 12" doesn't work, he as a 16" Touring model that will hit the market soon.
I wanted to talk more with him, but he had been busy all day with other consumers and had just sat down for a bbq sandwich. Don't get me wrong, he was enthusiastic to talk to me about the bike, suspension, frame, etc. Super nice guy, I even told him to look up us on cvoharley.com.
