Harley's don't come with nearly as loud of an exhaust as most of them have. Most of them are actually pretty quiet from the factory, until they put straight pipes on them.

Unless they changed it recently, there is no law against changing your exhaust except that it cannot be above a certain noise level. How do you think these muffler shops could be in business and custom bend exhausts if it was illegal??

Go to court and fight it. Even just meeting with the city attorney should do it. The cop didn't have a sound meter, so he doesn't have anything to stand on. Now if you got a ticket for not having a cat, that is a different story.
