Hi from Auckland

by John -

I bought my first Harley in April this year, a 23 Heritage Softail, hoping to ask some questions on this forum RE exhaust system upgrades. Not after more performance, just something slightly louder than the std exhausts which don't have that 'iconic' sound, what's best - slip-on's, complete new exhaust, long shots, short shots, just too many options, and I am not technically savvy so need some sound & honest advice. Cheers John

Welcome to the forums mate. Hope you're enjoying the Softail. Upload some pics of your bike if you can, keen to check it out. 

Also might be best to post in the Exhaust category for your exhaust questions!

Welcome welcome 🍻

Are the factory baffles rivited or screwed in? Not sure what the factory pipes are like on those but removing them could be a cheap option.. Share some photos of the bike/pipes

@John mate still no luck with the photos?

When I'm back in NZ in a few weeks I'll make some new walk-thru videos for adding photos to posts, to hopefully make it a little clearer.
