Recently I bought a 2007 1200 Sporty custom with 5,000 miles on it.The provisos owner had fitted V/H Short Shots with straight ends.They are so loud it nearly makes my nose bleed lol..On my Softail Standard I have S/E with drilled baffles and that give me a fantastic sound much more base.So I may swap the V/H on the Sporty to some S/E
