I own a 2012 72 as well as a softail. 2 completely different rides. I love both bikes. My stock pipes were very quiet. I changed them out for super Trapp mean mothers and they are loud also. In the 12 years I owned the bike I got a warning ticket for loud exhaust and that was several years ago. I'm a very mild rider and I average about 46 mpg give or take a mile or 2. Never had the bike over 60 or so. One of the first thing I changed was the seat. Give it some gas and you would almost slide off plus it was very uncomfortable. It's a great 2nd bike and as you said you get alot of compliments.
It is a lot of fun. Stay tuned. I will be posting a video where I ride to a local parking garage and roll up an down the ramps revving the engine. I like to count how many car alarms go off!
Mirrors under grips would look good. I have same color. Was silver for yrs. And decided to paint indigo blue. And also not sure about the extra headlight.... love the bike tho.
bracket was the www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/drag-specialties-adjustable-headlight-bracket?sku_id=1287020 I do not suggest it as I basically "made it work" because that is what I had. Problem is when the front tire hits a decent bump the light comes up enough that it will collide wit eh upper light housing and you get dents. The actual light is just a 4" standard light I got off Revzilla. ot came with a standard 40w halogen bulb. I took it apart and put a high powered LED unit in it. It was a bit of a pain as I had to use a drummel to grind some of the plastic put of the back housing to get the light installed. It all worked out in the end, just took some patience.
try this for the bracket.. sportyparts.com/products/dual-headlight-mounting-bracket?variant=40481919795242¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwodC2BhAHEiwAE67hJPzL-Xr_Qw3nqT82d0Q5x4DA4NV3wPI-VKVz1UnB0bWT1ooUaSxb6hoCsg4QAvD_BwE
I remember these on the showroom floor. I thought they were a sharp looking bike. Old school and beautiful. Really captures the Harley heritage well.

Beautiful machine

@@EduardoAguirre-pj3cr I had the mirtors under the bars for a while. I agree it looks better, but I found it distracting when riding.
Ton of work into this bike, beautiful!
Beautiful bike
Great video! Thank you! Actually been looking for one of these to “bar hop”.
The one in the video is for sale! It's listed on Cycle Trader. Let's work a deal.
Hey I have a 2013 xl1200v as well!
Nice, I'm considering a new bigger tank on mine.
I got a 3.7 China tank. What a difference I can get to the next town.
Nice bike!!
Great looking 72. Can I ask what is the model of the second headlight you added and bracket you used to attach. Thanks.

Guaranteed to turn some heads
If the stock pipes were loud, they weren't stock. Maybe gutted stock. Lol
Oddball, can you post the link to the vendor you got the decals from?
Found him on ETSY. Search for Mr. Sticker
