Nice! How loud exactly would you say they are?Installed my new Dean Speed Rampage slip-ons. Weird feeling riding through the neighborhood both grinning and trying to hide all at the same time
What did you do to your scout today?

I had those, they're pretty loud but sound awesome. Got dirty looks from the wife after I installed and took this video on the garage:

Yeah I watched all the videos and read all the reviews but for me, I just couldn’t really tell until they were on the bike and running.
they are louder than I wanted, even with the quiet baffles installed, but the sound is amazing. They aren’t bad at speed, but idling and off the line they are a little over the top.
on the plus side, they are absolutely beautiful. I liked the sound of the factory canons but they were just too massive. Even on the showroom floor that was the one thing on the bike I didn’t like.
took me about 45min to install them and it was the first time I ever installed slip-ons so I was probably way too overly cautious. If I had to do it again I could do it in 20min no sweat.

They are indeed sexy!

Loud? Scale 1 to 10?Installed my new Dean Speed Rampage slip-ons. Weird feeling riding through the neighborhood both grinning and trying to hide all at the same time
I am honestly not qualified to put them on that kind of a scale, sorry. I rode with them some more today and I am getting where I like them, quite a lot actually.
They are considerably louder than factory, not quite "that guy" loud, but still loud enough for me to be a little unsettled in my quiet neighborhood firing up the bike really late or really early in the morning.
If you force me to put them on the scale, with the bike off as 0, factory at about 3, and "that guy who competes in the loudest pipes competition" at 10, I would say somewhere around a 7 at a stoplight, 6 or 5 going down the road. Remember that these have the quiet baffles in them directly from Dean Speed.
Another way to look at it, if you have seen the show Sons of Anarchy, this bike would fit right in

I have some on order with the baffles and I’m very interested to see how the sound and loudness compares with my Reinharts. I suspect they will be somewhat quieter but if they are as loud I’m fine with that too 😎I am honestly not qualified to put them on that kind of a scale, sorry.

Well, I added some parts from Dean Speed, handlebar, sissy bar, crash bars, pulley cover, clutch cover, also added the saddlemen passenger pillion

Oh man that blue is gorgeous!
Is the sissy bar pad removable? If so, with how much ease? Wouldn’t want to hide the decal unless a passenger needed the pad.
I didn't tried yet, but it should be easy, there are just 2 bolts
Just installed two horns on my Scout, both FIAMM Freeway Blasters, one low, one high tone. One in the stock location and one below the front of the exhaust hanger. Custom wiring harness. No ground clearance issues either, this is not the lowest component on the bike.
Sound great and just as loud as my Denali Soundbomb and Marco Tornado horns on my other bikes and much easier to install than trying to hide an air compressor and routing an air line and installing a relay. Two tones are much better than one!
FIAMM 72102 Freeway Blaster HIGH Note Horn and FIAMM 72112 Freeway Blaster LOW Note Horn if you're interesting in doing the same.

Where did you find that stator cover in black with the silver contrast letters and image? That looks really sharp!

Thanks! I actually had it powder coated that way at a local shop awhile back. I had bought the reduced reach bars but didn’t like the chrome look so I had the bars, brake/clutch levers, and cover done all together.
I did the same exact thing with my reduced reach bars and levers - so much better

Earlier this week I went on a one day 590 mile ride on my Scout which is my longest one day trip yet. I also took her through 2 thunderstorms without issue; it was raining so hard during one storm that the water was flowing across the highway in one town and I couldn’t even see the asphalt. Finally, I made it 142 miles between available services and still had over half a galllon in the tank to spare. There’s nothing my girl can’t do 😎

Is it just the angle of the photo or does it hang down lower than the stock horn?
