This thing is actually pretty cool, and will be cooler once we fix the fiberglass and get it repainted

WOW I bet it adds more growl to the "potato-potato" sound. I tried one on my Harley once but the bike shook it apart.

Its all electric, so it can only enhance tire noise.

Back in the 70's a friend and I put a 900 Sportster motor in one. Thing was scary fast. A well restored one will bring big bucks now days. I know a guy that paid $500.00 just for the big Bar & Shield logo off of one.

To be honest, AMF made them long before they acquired Harley Davidson. After they bought HD they put the Harley name on them. HD never made them at their plants.
