Love my 2004. 1/3 more power for 2/3 the price. Thats my Harley-tude "Reality check" conversation starter.

The valves are still a little noisy. I have a hard time hearing them over my Vance and Hines 2-in-1, but in idle they definately clack. More so than a Honda or EVO Harley (Having sat next to both before showing them how pretty my LED tailight is by using the 102 Cubes and 100+ Lbs of rear tire torque to disappear!).

Really, once your out of Idle, it purrs and no extrenius noise is apparent, but if you like a noisless idle, this is not the bike.

almost all air cooled,push rod engines with out hydralic self adjusters on valves will make noise, (get loud pipes it helps hide it)

It's normal for that design to be noisy. You need to be on a goldwing... or better yet.... in a car.
