I just bought a 2019 Heritage and first thing I did was added Vance and Hines slash cut slip-ons and added a screaming eagle tuner---so much better than stock! Thank you for the video. Liked and subbed!
I added the quiet baffles but have since removed them. The bike is like a wild animal with the V&H slip-ons. I also tuned with the SE tuner. The bike runs great, feels great, and sounds awesome.
Does the 114 need a tuner if you just do slip ons? I’ve been debating about exhausts and this vid helped a ton. VH eliminators are a great low rumble of a sound. Thanks!
Thank You for this. I’ve been looking for a comparison and you covered all the options I’ve been looking into. I’m going with the V&H Elim 300. I got #199. And stock definitely too quiet lol
Great video! I had the Eliminator 300s on my 2020 Low Rider S and thought they were a little too loud, I put the Street Cannon on my 2021 Sport Glide and liked it (2 into 1) but wish it had a little more sound. I just bought a 2023 Heritage and am trying to decide what to put on it. I want to be able to hear the exhaust at highway speed, but don't want droning noise for long trips. Were you happy with the street cannons for touring?
The Street Cannons are perfect for Touring. In fact, that's what I had on the bike before I bought my Street Glide. I did a few trips to Florida and Sturgis with the Heritage/Street Cannons. After adding the Street Glide I bought the Eliminators for the Heritage to get more sound for the shorter rides. Congratulations on your 2023 Heritage. You'll love it.
Can you hear them better at highway speed than stock? I did 300 miles this weekend and the stock exhaust sounded like engine ticking and it was driving me nuts! lol@@kenny553
very nice, I have the same bike only different colour also the same Vance and Hines. But what type of saddle is that ? it looks great and comfortable. is there a lot of difference with the stock seat (which I still have)
Good comparison. Got some Eliminator 300 on the way, an ebay buy. Worried they maybe too loud but from what I hear and people say the quiet baffles make marginal difference. So what did you go with? Thanks
I use the eliminators and removed the baffles. I no longer tour with the Heritage so I took the baffles out to get the nice loud/deep rumble. I had the street cannons for about a year and then changed to the eliminators. I thought the street cannons were nice, especially for longer rides but love the sound of the eliminators.
I think that if i guy could wait till the 2 year or 24mo.warranty is over and then spend the money on a full header/ exhaust with a aftermarket tuner would be best ...
I would not think so, all though I have over 12K miles and have had the bike well over a year. I did tune it with the SE Pro Tuner if Warranty became an issue. Honestly I really didn't worry about it. For the first year I had the SE Cannons so I was good there.
I've been looking for wind defectors for my 2018 Heritage and wondering whether the stock HD versions for 2017 would work too, and I've read others who said they did with a little re-drilling. Also, did you look into the JES Custom Accents deflectors that are specially made for the Heritage since others who have them say they work great, and I'd be interested in how the stock versions you have work as well.
These wind deflectors work very well. Significant reduction in buffetting. In fact i experience no wind buffetting at all. I hear the JES defectors are also good, i chose these H-D deflectors because i preferred the look of them.
I have a 19 Deluxe with the 107. After listening to your video I decided to go with Vance & Hines 300s as well. But I decided to have them do the Stage 2 Torque Cam at the same time. My pipes roar obnoxiously so I have ordered the quiet baffles. If that doesn't work I'm considering the Street Cannons because I get the impression they are not much louder volume wise than the stock mufflers. Would that be correct?
The Street Cannons are just a little louder/deeper than stock. When I first installed the Eliminators I thought they were too loud. So I ordered the baffles. Since then I have removed the baffles. Seems there is an adjustment period. I also no longer take the Heritage on long trips where a loud exhaust may add fatigue. Now, I really like them without the baffles.
Here were the parts I ordered direct from Kuryakyn for the floorboards. These are mini's but my wife like them much better than the regular passenger pegs. Splined Passenger Peg Adapter for '18 Softail, Chrome Item #8923 $27.99 KineticTM Mini Boards without Adapters, Chrome Item #7611 $101.99
I did indeed have some backfiring on the eliminators after I removed the baffles. After making this video I re-tuned using the SE tuner and rarely get the backfire now. Initially, I loaded the base stage 1 map and that worked fine for the Street Cannons.
They are the ones for the earlier model Heritage (2017). Had to drill a hole to align correctly for the 2018 Heritage. Significant reduction in buffeting.
@@kenny553 Thanks for the reply, I have a 2018 Heritage would like to use the screen but with a full face helmet the buffeting is unbearable. Will check out the link Cheers, Perry
Those are the H-D Machete rims. Tires are the Michelin Commander II Machete 16x3in Front - 43300369 - 130/90B16 Machete 16x3in Rear - 40900088 - 150/80B16
They are the H-D deflectors for the 2017 Heritage. You just need to drill an extra hole. Make it oblong to give you some room for adjustment so the fangs don't hit the engine guard. They do a great job eliminating buffeting.
Are the street Cannons much different from the stock. I have this same bike. But it is hard for me to tell on streaming. I want to make my bike louder mainly just to be heard in traffic. thank you
Those are the Harley Machete rims. The wind deflectors are from the 2017 Heritage. You need to make a small mod to get the wind deflector mounting holes to line up for the 2018 Heritage.
@@henryfree3069 It was easy to add the quiet baffles, but I pulled out the entire main baffle (per the instructions) and then was not able to push the main baffle back in all the way because the fiber glass kept binding up. I ended up re-packing and re-wrapping the fiberglass. Not a big deal. I could have installed the quiet baffles by only pulling the main baffle out a few inches and then most likely would not have affected the fiberglass. The quiet baffle p/n is on V&H website.
@@henryfree3069 I am using the V&H Elim 300's with the quiet baffles right now. We'll see how that goes for now lol. Last year I had the Street Cannons but was looking for a little more sound. I never rode with the stock slip-on's. They came off day 1. Without the quiet baffles I thought the V&H may be too loud on long rides... but I really liked the sound. I think they still sound good with the quiet baffles installed though.
