Wow, this might be one of the greatest feedbacks I've ever gotten. I always try to do videos of things I can find on youtube, things I find useful when making a decision. Like I did with the sear comparison. Comments like yours are satisfying. I appreciate you taking the time.
You’re a legend bro. This video was awesome, very detailed and educational. I just bought a Bassani for my Dyna, switching from a TBR. This video was pretty cool to watch pertaining to what I know about stock and my TBR and being able to compare them all. Solidifies my choice man. Thank you, keep up the good work!
I ran a tbr on my old kawasaki vulcan S. Now have an 07 fxdl with V&H big shots. Just bought a bassani RR 2 mega series for it over the tbr, let me know how you like the bassani over the tbr brother
@@devonm301 I’ve got about 1800 miles on this Bassani so far man and I absolutely love it. I won’t knock TBR, it had its time and purpose but I will say this, it’s not a Bassani. The sound is pretty amazing, I don’t even think I’m going to mess with the baffle.. it already sounds aggressive and nice. The power difference isn’t noticeable to the feel but I had my bike dyno tuned last week since I changed my exhaust and my air cleaner and the numbers showed a little increase. I gained 4hp since the Bassani and the intake which the intake doesn’t really count because I went from a big sucker to an S&S stealth intake, leaves the exhaust as the big difference maker. The dyno guy said the same thing I was thinking, that hp gain was because of the Bassani and tune. Not bad. Cosmetically, it’s prettier.. not going to lie haha but to be fair my Bassani is chrome and not a turn up, my TBR was a stainless turn up with a carbon tip so it looked very raw. All in all, they are worth every penny. This is all my personal opinion though, some guys like TBR more but I’m team Bassani as of now. I too ride an 07 FXDL by the way.
@@d-lowz-no9931 is this pipe obnoxiously loud? I've had my eye on it for a while and am thinking of getting it this summer, however I ride to work at 6am and don't wanna get noise complaints from my neighbours lol, is it too much?
@@youtubeaccount458 I totally get that! Lol no it’s not obnoxious. At idle it’s not necessarily quiet but it’s not very loud at all. It only gets loud when you give the bike a decent amount of throttle. I live in a HOA type of neighborhood (subdivision) and I haven’t got a complaint yet even with the houses pretty close together. Best way to describe it is it’s only loud when you want it to be. Unless you take the baffle out of course haha but with the baffle in I think it’s perfect.
@@youtubeaccount458 oh yea, one more thing. If you’re not running a V&H FP3 tuner or something, you’ll want to do that. It wakes the bike up significantly from stock or even a two pipe system. You’ll want to tune it and get your fuel and air mixture just right. After that, it’s pretty awesome. I highly recommend it.
Great video! Very straight to the point. Exposure to sound at a constant level of 84dB or greater will cause permanent hearing loss. I would be interested to see you test the DB from inside a helmet while riding the bike at highway speeds.
Unfortunately I do not have the means to do that test anymore, but I can tell you that 2 major factors make the noise considerably lowers inside the helmet; First, the helmet itself acts as an ear muffler, and second, the exhaust points back, which combined with the wind when riding minimizes the noise level.
Hello there.. Im running a 2003 Dyna with TC88.. I Stg 2 upgraded with DK Customs EBS 606 aircleaner and S&S 509g complete camchest uograde and it had V&H Big Radius 2-2 exhaust. Basani makes another 2-1 exhaust, like yours, but a few inches longer. It goes on tomorrow, to replace Big Radius. The cam I installed is for lowend and mid torque improvements in baggers and dressers So I figured it would give big bump to my Dyna's lowend.. Also geardrives are for longevity.. Hoping the Basani 2-1 will wake up the can some more.. How are your Basani working out ? I subd
Hey Thanks for the sub! All those specs are way over my head lol... I can only tell you that the Basani worked great all this years, all the way until I sold the bike a few weeks ago.
@@JuanderBoy damn.. sorry to hear that.. Hope your still riding !.. What an awesome exhaust for my bike !! Now my Stg 2 tune is totally dialed in.. Quiet at adle and Roars on FWO !!
Ya know - the stock exhaust actually sounds pretty damn good !! I have this exact bike. I have short shots on another bike and I almost want to put Quiet baffles in. Thanks for posting
Hello, thank you for great video. Would it be possible to get a video on decibel readings at the riders seat? I'd really appreciate it if aint too much trouble
Thanks for the feedback. That's actually a great idea. I'll put things in motion. I'm thinking inside and outside a full face to get both options. Might take a few weeks though.
I upped the displacement to 128ci, and put a full catless aftermarket exhaust on my 2020 M8 Touring bike. It went from 94dB @ 2510 RPM to 101dB @ 2510 RPM. That's roughly 4x the sound pressure the bike produced stock. You'll only hit 4000 RPM when you're accelerating hard or speeding on the freeway. Engine speeds on a Harley generally stay between 2000 and 3000 RPM, and will rarely exceed 3500 RPM. I now wear earplug when I ride. My hearing would be shot in months if I didn't.
I take my bike to 5k fairly often and a little over 6k if I'm feeling frisky...those volumes definitely matter. Beautiful thing about the Road Rage is it's fairly docile at idle and cruising speed and totally tolerable; it really only gets loud when you want to. It's a perfect balance.
Do you have any issues with the check engine light coming on with the Bassani pipe?? I have heard of issues with the O2 sensors on this pipe making the check engine light on
Not at all, I've never had a problem. They're not legal to run in the streets in CA, but it's more of a gray area when it comes to getting a ticket. Most companies won't sell or ship to CA because the noise level is no sanctioned. Again, I have never had a problem whatsoever. If you give them a reason, they can legally give you a ticket, but if you follow the simple "don't ride like an asshole" rule, you'll be fine.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. The bars are a combination of Big Al's Deluxe riser with pull back and Lucky Dave's riser bar which also have pull back. The whole set up is about 12". I lost a little bit of rise when I installed the Lucky Dave seat because it pushes you up a forward a lille bit, I have another video on that as well, you can check it out on my channel...and whenever I find time I'll do an installation video for the bars.
Yes sir! Lucky Dave's 1" Riser Bar Big Al's Deluxe Risers 6" Riser with pull back Memphis Shades Gauntlet Fairing (Which I upgraded to a Road Warrior also by Memphis Shades) You can see a glimpse of the new fairing on my Lucky Dave saddle comparison video. Hope it helps.
oh yes I did, it looks mean. The difference in performance wasn't that much and I'm alway trying to save a buck. Also, the black tip on the II helped my decision and according to a couple of sources the III is louder.
I am in England, and my much modified Streetbob (113inch and lots more ! ) when measured from 10 feet away showed 138 db's at 3500rpm.... S&S Cycle's taper mufflers...... when we Dyno tested the bike we had to leave the Dyno room after an hour as we had bad headaches despite wearing ear defenders..... yet I cannot hear it over the wind noise at 70mph.......
@@JuanderBoy I don't make a lot of noise where I live, but people have mentioned it at pubs and bike meets. That figure is only when the throttle is open - I too set the db meter to record highest figure and went back to the bike to open the throttle, as when accelerating. Most of the time the throttle is only just open so the noise is not much above standard.
I'm still loving it and glad I picked it. I noticed a little less full efficiency with the exhaust and Performance Machine air cleaner combination, but I believe that was expected.
Do you happen to know the mapping you used when you re tuned it ? I just threw some RR2 on my dyna and unfortunately it's running lean I just got a powervision to correct the issue but uncertain if they have a map tune ?
To be honest with you, after install I took it to the dealer and payed for the tuning. I didn't know how to do it and was not willing to invest the time to learn 👀
Thanks for the feedback! That's a nice air cleaner. Make sure you set up the air/gas intake when you install it, then you'll be all set when you get the pipes. I had them do it for me, way out of my league.
JuanderBoy what do you mean set up the air/gas intake I'm new to this, just asking cause I don't want to sound Dumb when I tell them to set it up what is the air/gas intake?
ha, that makes 2 of us. I'm making all this videos because I think my fuck ups can help someone in my position not make those mistakes. Like on the video installing the RR2. The bigger air cleaner will suck more air and it needs to be adjusted so prevent over heating and help performance.
You can just get a muffler, cheaper than the full exhaust and will still give you a deeper sound. Cobra is good at that, I used to have one on my last bike
@@ErikISkogen The only tip I can give you, if it's legal to sell in California, it'll be low decibels. Most after market exhausts are not street legal here because they're loud, so if it be sold or shipped to California, then it's not crazy loud.
Nicholas English Didn't even know there was one for tall shocks. Even though I installed it myself I don't know anything about mechanics so I don't see how the size of the shocks can affect the pipe. I bought it through revzilla, over the phone, even is you don't buy they will help you figuring stuff out. Great customer service.
They do make muffler that quiet the sounds a bit, but when you ride with this typo of exhausts you can actually feel the sound. Remember the sound will alway be behind you.

To be honest I think you should take up Tea parties, and other sissy events. And leave Harley riding to the men. Riding a Harley means send it boys.

Hello, please tell me what are your risers and handlebar?
Of course! risers are Big Al's Deluxe with pullback and the bars are Lucky Dave's Riser Bar.
Good luck with the build!
Do you have any issues with the check engine light coming on with the Bassani pipe?? I have heard of issues with the O2 sensors on this pipe making the check engine light on
No issues at all, and I did the installation myself, as you can see in my other video. If I made it work I'm pretty sure it's ok.
Well done & informative
Thanks for the feedback.
Great job....bike really looks good with the RR2......
Thanks for the feedback! the RR2 is still holding on strong.
Nice bike! What air cleaner is that?
Does the Bassani have the removable baffle in or out? Thanks for the video.
I don't see any bolts outside, it might be in.
Have you ever received a fix it ticket for the Bassani? I'm getting conflicted answers as people say "CA doesnt care" or "CA will fix it ticket you"
Not at all, I've never had a problem. They're not legal to run in the streets in CA, but it's more of a gray area when it comes to getting a ticket.

Hello. With this crazy 2019 California exhaust law, Basani probably fail the test... suxs. I have set of Basani RR3
I had a hard time getting mine here. Almost all of them have been not street legal for year, so they won't even ship them to CA. Crazy law.
Subscribed sir!
Hey chief...I think your graphic should say "OEM" not "OME". Just sayin...
100%... I realized it after the video was up. I'm too lazy to reuploa. Thanks for comment!
Is that a stock motor? Or does it have cams?
Dustin Ellis Yes, it's the stock motor.
Does anybody know witch OEM exost is cool AND gives low desibel? I want it down.
You can just get a muffler, cheaper than the full exhaust and will still give you a deeper sound. Cobra is good at that, I used to have one on my last bike

How about you ride it hard !!!!!! Never mind the decivels . ..🎉🎉😮😮🎉😂
ok
get that shit tuned
😂😂 word
115 dB? Not even under load??? That would give me a headache after maybe 50 miles. Why can't HD and others make QUIET exhausts?
