Showroom guy told that company is in talk with two bros and one more company and we may see muflers from them within a month. They will be available via the showroom/company only.

Not quite sure if just changing the muffler would change the characteristics of the engine. It definitely will have a different grunt though.

But I doubt if it will still compensate for the missing torquiness in the lower and mid range RPMs.

ST7 makes 57 Nm @ 7000 rpm VS 70 Nm @ 3750 rpm of HD Superlow.. ST7 is not even in the same league + it produces less torque so high in rpm range for a cruiser. It will never be as punchy as HD Superlow.. Moreover Superlow's engine is Push Rod, no matter what pipe u put on ST7.. it will never sound as good as HD. HD's aircooled engine is best suited for Indian summer. HD has better customization option even in India, and support is better too.

With a GC of 100mm, how do you expect the Superlow to cross the 'Great Indian Speed Breakers'? What will you do with all that good musical Harley sound when all you can hear is the oncoming KHRRRRR at the next speed breaker. For that point alone, I consider the ST7 an overall better option. But that is what I think. Everybody is entitled to an opinion.

Edit: Maybe another reason why I prefer the ST7 over the Harleys is because I don't like thumpers too much and the Harleys are exactly that.

Not at all. Purely because of the high price.

Exactly my point why I haven't gone ahead with ST7.

GC is one issue with SuperLow. However, now that Street Bob is getting assembled in India, spoilt with choices.

+1 ST7 engine's peaky nature sounds so un-cruserish . Thanks for pointing that. HD has all the right characteristics except the GC which can be handled.

Some of the SuperLows have been modded to increase GC to 125mm. You would have to spend around 30k for that...
