Yea when they arnt running? :rolleyes:

TBH they should sound very similar when they are rev'd a little, pretty similar setup with angle of pistons and all that.

You not really had a chance to bask in the ambiance of mine though have you?

different angle of V innit?
ours are 90 degree arent they? HD's are a lesser angle, 45 I believe, AND a longer stroke, sounds a lot different, thats why jap four strokes never sounded like a Triumph - shorter stroke.
