So, how do I make my X1 run and sound less like an anemic tractor and more like the S3T I used to have? Of course the S3T was wearing D&D exhaust... Just not feeling it after saddle time in the S3T. | ||

Same engine as a S3T; just repeat the recipe. | ||

My X1 wears a BMC race exhaust, race ecm and hamcan intake...........sounds in no way like an anemic tractor. (to me anyhow)  | ||

I think I'll go with the Vance & Hines. Sort of a compromise between power/noise. ...but should I leave the stock intake? The S3T was wearing one of these as well. http://www.hellrisercustoms.com/review.php?prod_gr oup=14&item_no=9300&ref=google_base Don't want to mess with the stock look though. | ||

Old_mil, I have a D&D slip on on my X1 and I love it. Steel construction and deep loud sound. I'd also reccommend a Race ECM and if you want to keep the stock look - I'd suggest a K&N filter with the airbox hogged out. I can post a pic of mine if you wish. | ||

That would be great...I like the D&D pipe, but with more places starting to crack down on loud pipes, I'm thinking maybe the Vance and Hines will be a way out of a ticket someday. | ||

places starting to crack down on bike exhaust noise? if they are im in trouble with my force. they cant ticket every harley they come across can they? maybe this should be in another discussion | ||

My recipe: "daytona boss" muffler, race ECU, forcewinder intake. The daytona boss muffler hasn't been available for several years but the V&H would work fine. My only gripe is that you have to remove the V&H to let the tranny juice out. I highly recommend the forcewinder due to its ease of servicing. | ||

Is there any intake that can be mounted without removing the "ugly plastic"? | ||

"My only gripe is that you have to remove the V&H to let the tranny juice out." I used to gripe about that before I saw how the V&H can actually keep the plug from falling 'out'... if it gets loose. That's a feature, not a problem... now. | ||

Carefull Grov, ugly is with the beholders opinion(my plastic is beautiful and rubinesque). The Supertrapp is, in my opinion the best of both worlds. | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
V&H is crap imo it sounds nasty. | ||
| Grovskopa |
Justforfun: that is why I used the " " ;) I don't think it is ugly myself, but it seems most people do | ||

Good to know you don't consider the O/E look to be ugly, it's one of the things that endeared me to the bike initially. I think your bike is great looking ,loved your pics on other threads. The Mikuni 42 is such a great performer, but I don't know for sure about compatibility w plastics, I'm sure it can be done but not sure of the mods. There are so many other wonderful fab artists on this site who should be able to help. | ||

Fun: Grovs quoted me, my plastic is being slowly changed out for CF some folks like the scoop and the suitcase, I dont to ME its Fugly and it hides that serious motor and ruins the lines of the bike. That being said the fender and hugger are ok. | ||
| Grovskopa |
Yeah it sure hides the motor, which is sad. But I think it makes the bike look beefier overall and less Sportster:y To each his own Justforfun: Glad you like my bike =) |
