Typical robust EVO of course ... more "manly" sound than the 1450. Fitted a Wide Glide front end which improves tracking and makes long rides more restful. Also replaced rear shocks with "good" ones and fitted the widest Dunlop Venom tyre I could fit. Performance benefits from a 2-1 tuned exhaust which also accentuates the sound. This all improved the beast to ... Great Bike! from Good Bike.
