    I have the Zard with DB killers. I think it’s the best value exhaust overall, but if money is no object then the Jekyll & Hyde is a top choice. If you change exhaust you should also look at the Don Performance re-map, or a similar tune to release more power. Would I put my wife, or anyone, on the back of this bike?. No!. They will not thank you for it, and if you must, then just get the standard seat as it’s unlikely to see much use!. You could always add a gel seat pad.

    Hi there. 2021 Sportster S owner here. 2nd delivered in Portugal. I've opted for the Zard Top Gun and it is absolutely stunning especially without the DB killers. Let me tell you at 2400€ its no bargain. The build quality is amazing and the costumer service is soot on.The cobra is known to change colouring on the tips and it looks awful. If you have the money and like the 2in1 aspect of the Dr. Jekyll go for it. It gives you the peace of mind of an homologated exhaust with switchable modes, 1 baffles closed, 2 open and 3 dynamic. The servomotor on the jeckyl is a common thing and needs no worries. I personally cannot justify 3500€ on a exhaust but if money is not a problem go for it. Other than that, the Zard is my favourite, the sound is bassy and throaty, ohhh it is a new bike. If I for some reason am forced to put back the original exhaust I think I'll sell it. Having said that, I just love this bike.

    I test rode this bike a few weeks ago and i was blown away. I absoluetly love this bike, that motor is fantastic. I am not a huge fan of the softail harleys they are just heavy and not that quick really and the clutch is heavy on them and the throttle is heavy. Its just a little cumbersome riding them and not as much enjoyment for me. The sportster s was a hoot and took less effort and was just so smooth and refined. I was blown away.

    I own a 2021 model. It's the pearl white one. I've done the passenger sissybar,seat,pegs, windshield and heated grips. I am holding out on the exhaust for the moment until some more options are available. However I have been eyeballing the corbin gambler and their plate and light mount. The combo is nice but there is not a passenger back rest. (I often make trips and my daughter often rides and likes having a back rest.) But again I am waiting for the aftermarket to put out some more stuff.

I've had some minor glitches with it, that were covered under warranty, but it's been great ever since. This bike makes my 6th Harley that I've owned, everything from Electra Glide Sport, to 1200cc '48..this is without a doubt, the most fun I've had on a bike in 45 years of riding!

I don’t ride during winters though, due ato the busy season at my job, so I can’t say how the bike reacts to the super cold weather, I park and put the trickle charger on her all winter long.
