I have a 2006 1500 classic. Love the bike. Except the knocking noises coming frome the engine and the valve ticking sounds from the top of the engine. I put some Cobra Classic exhaust on to muffle the engine noises, but when its cold they can really be heard. Also after the exhaust install there is an engine vibration that is bothersome at certain RPMs. If you can put up with all the noises these 1500s make then it is a very nice ride.
