Hey guy's, just thought I'd let you know how my weekend trip went to Charleston S.C. Visited Low Country Harley Dealership, Historical places downtown, Boat Marina's Bar,Folly Beach, Fire Fly Tea plantation, Shem Creek Bar/restaurant and much more. It's only a 350 mile round trip but it was a good test for me and the bike. Overall it was very nice, 65 mph is a very comfortable cruising speed and the suspension was very smooth. Handling and balance in town was a very good even with a passenger on back. But I did notice what sounds like a exhaust leak coming from the front of the engine when I'm under throttle. I'm pretty sure this is because of the windshield isolating the noise of the exhaust pulse. Am I on the right track? also I can hear the usual 5th gear whine and trans chatter if I lug it. One other thing, I hear a clinking noise in the front fork area when I hint a bulb or run across a grassy area, maybe behind the headlight, almost like a loose bolt. Anyway just wanted to share my experience and a new Softail owner and my fun weekend. Marty...
