ya' all survived, as well my family, did down there!!!

OK.....I'm going to the experts. Here's the way I understand it. I could be wrong, but I thought some decel "pop" was normal. Once you decel from high rpm's unburned fuel collects in the exhaust and explodes causing the "pop". This usually only occurs when decelling from a high rpm and is considerd normal if minimal. Is that a fair statement when referring to a carbuerated (rejetted with dynojet) 04 Fatboy with bigshots and Ness big sucker. I didn't think it was that big of a deal but have read other posts on other forums that made me second guess. Some say any ammount of "decel pop" is unaccepatable and indicates a "poorly" tuned bike. Under the above circumstances, I thought it was normal and could probably be tuned out only after having the bike Dyno'ed. I'm happy with the way...

I am considering a 89 classic and was wondering if I can install the cb and headsets as well as the lower fairings on this year and model bike

I just got a 05 softail deluxe. I wanted to get a set of Vance & Hines bigshot longs for it. But I just talk to a harley service guy and he told me that if i go with a none harley made after market exhaust it will cost me about $500 for the power command plus 3 hours labor to install it. So that is about $810 just to have my EFI up to par for the pipes.

But he says if I go with Screamin eagles it will only cost about $200 to get my EFI ready for the 16 gauge double barrel pipes.

Does this sound right? any help or comments would be great.

There have been a number of posts about various Slip-On mufflers, and Slip-On's VS complete exhaust systems. The general consensus seems to be that SE Slip-On's are not much of an improvement over stock. How about the SE II Slip-On's?? How do they compare, sound and performance wise, with other Slip-On's like Pythons, Khromewerks, etc?
