I love that sound but will share this for what it's worth - when I got my big V-twin Victory 15 years ago, I could not hear my own bike with the stock exhaust when I was riding with a group. So I got some straight thru drag pipes installed and was the loudest one in the group. Three years later I had noticeable hearing loss, and put the stock pipes back on, but my hearing did not return. Now I wear ear plugs on everything. Bummer yes, but better to save one's hearing so be careful. As a side note, it is the low frequency tones that damage hearing the most.
Thanks I know what you mean have owned several harleys and they never sound right unless well piped with a bit of noise and just didnt like it standard at all, it is fine and only big noise if you really push it, but I am happy it isnt so loud to be unbearable, did 20 odd miles and the car is happier, I would never take the cats out as that for me having heard one is too loud, but noted and thanks for posting
