A FEW are running straight pipes. Most are running aftermarket exhausts, which like my Rineharts on my HD, are louder than a typical Cobra.
Bikes with 'drag pipes' which equals no mufflers, typically run very poorly. So few people do that.
But, I do agree, bikers with loud pipes have a responsibility to stay quiet in residential neighborhoods, the same as Cobra owners do. It's easy, don't go past 1/8th throttle or 2,500 rpms, just like in a Cobra.
The problem is that most of the Harley guys are poseurs... and they insist on revving the piss out of their bikes at stoplights. And they go full thottle from stoplights and shift at 5,800 rpms. Thus producing the maximum amount of noise. Why? Small penises I guess....
