Hello All,
I just purchased a 2011 Night Rod Specia w/ ~6k milesl and absolutely love the bike minus a few minor things. First, the bar reach is just a hair far for me so I will most likely be installing the reduced reach bar as soon as possible. In searching the interwebs I can't seem to get a clear answer on if I need to get a longer brake / throttle cable or if I can just get creative with the routing. The bike has ABS
Second, and more importantly, I love LOVE the look of the exhaust but it's just a too loud for my tastes. I was wondering (and will probably get crucified for this) if there is a way to quiet it down. I have searched and can't identify who makes it, wondering if someone can help me out on that front. Perhaps some universal baffling? Recommendations on a more moderate sounding exhaust?
The bike came with a Powercommander V and whatever tune is loaded with it just doesn't seem quite right. Cruisin at 55-65 with a consistent it seems like it will 'miss' from time to time. I'm not lookin to squeeze every last bit of horsepower out of the thing just want to make sure it's running as best as it can. FWIW I did get about 40 mpg today with some short bouts of hard acceleration so it might not be TOO far off.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated if for nothing else than to just ID the exhaust. I attached a pic for reference.
