I like the look of the stock pipes but want the Harley sound and was thinking of slip-ons to keep the cost down. Only really know of V&H and Rush slip-ons. My questions are:-
If I was happy with standard performance and just wanted the Harley sound, (But not over the top) which slip-ons would be best suited and would anything else have to be done to fine tune?
Alternatively if I wanted stage 1 tuning to enhance performance with the same slip-ons what else would be required?
Sorry if I sound a bit naive:o and I know if I search the forums long enough I will find the answers but I am new to Harley’s and just want some honest quick advice so I can stand my corner with the main dealer at the weekend.:wink: ]]> General Wiggy http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/hdrcgb-general/77554-guidance-advice-needed-newbie.html Sportster stolen and recovered: What to check http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/hdrcgb-general/77544-sportster-stolen-recovered-what-check.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:21:57 GMT Hello everyone!

I had the misfortune of having my 2009 883C Sportster stolen last week, however I was extremely lucky that the police found the motorcycle the very next day and took it to a car pound to forensically examine it. Ironicaly they found it with the Abus U Lock still attached to the front wheel!

I picked up the Sportster 2 days ago, and from what I can tell, the damage is limited to a broken steering lock (the police actually handed me the steering lock), an indicator reflector missing and the number plate torn up. I won't be able to assess the full extent of the damage until I clean it (tonight) and look for scratches etc.

I was wondering if I could get any advice on what I would check on the motorcycle before taking it on the road again? I rode it from the police pound to my home and it seemed to ride fine, but now that the weekend is approacing I do want to give it a thorough check up to make sure it is safe. Would you guys even recommend a full service? It's done its first service about a month ago.

Tonight I'm installing a Hardie ground anchor and securing the Sportster with an Almax chain.

Thank you for any advice you guys can give me! ]]> General fragfeaster777 http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/hdrcgb-general/77544-sportster-stolen-recovered-what-check.html Thinking of gear driven cams http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/hdrcgb-general/77508-thinking-gear-driven-cams.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:14:01 GMT Am contemplating of fitting Andrew"s gear driven cams to my 05"RK custom 26G"s during the winter....now do i have to replace the "cone casing" on the right hand side of my bike?Working on the kit required and prices etc.Any advice on this matter is appreciated' as I"am not totally clued up on this conversion.:o ]]> General jimbo http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/hdrcgb-general/77508-thinking-gear-driven-cams.html 2010 Nightster http://www.harley-davidson-hangout.com/forum/hdrcgb-general/77488-2010-nightster.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:12:51 GMT On the US Harley officail web site they are howing the 2010 nightster with a springer seat along with a few other subtle changes.
