First One In East Tennessee, I Got Last Sat. One Nice Ride, I Could Not Believe How Much Better This Bike Handles Over The 04 Lowrider I Have. A Friend I Mine Rode His 06 Wideglide Along With Me When I Test Rode The Rk, Both Of Us In 6th Gear We Twisted The Throttle The (rk Had 14 Miles On It) It Blew The O6 Away. I'm Putting Mustang Seat And Installing True Dual Rhineharts On This Week End. I Got The Razor Red. Look Out Myrtle Beach Fall Rally Here We Come.

true duals may not be the way to go on a heavy bagger . It all depends on what you want . You will lose some of your low end torque and if you do a lot of 2 up riding with a tour pack and saddle bags full all the time it will hurt your performace a lot. so research before you spend your money I have been there. A good set of slip ons may be your answer BUBS make a good set and they work very will. You will get more low end torque with the BUB slip on's then you will with the true duals | |

I Understand What You're Saying, Thanks For The Info, But Keep In Mind This Bike Does Not Have The Front Faring Or The Heavier Saddle Bags And Tour Pack, Plus It Has The 110 Instead Of 88, Can't Tell Yet Because Only Has 200 Miles On It But Feels Like Its Got A Lot Of Low End, Already Dusted Two 06 Dyna's With It And You Know They Are Lightier' And It Feels Like Its Quickier Than My 04 Low Rider. But If The Slips Ons Are The Best Way To Go Thats What I Will Do. Any Commemts Pls. Reply

| I have V&H true duals on my 05 RK and love it. Haven't noticed any loss of power. With the 110 I don't think you will have a power concern. | |

ROADKING, YOU ARE RIGHT IT DID NOT HURT THE 110 A BIT, I JUST PUT THEM ON THIS PAST SATURDAY, I WENT WITH V&H TRUE DUAL BIG SHOTS. AFTER READING AND EVERYONE TELLING ME THAT TRUE DUALS WOULD HURT A BAGGER I WENT WITH V&H CLASSIC SLIP ONS ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, AND THE V&H FUEL PAK. YESTERDAY RIDING TWO UP I NOTICED I COULD GET INTO 6TH GEAR AT ABOUT 65 MPH INSTEAD OF 70 AND DIDN'T SEEM TO LUG THE MOTOR. WISH I WOULD HAVE WENT TO TRUE DUALS LONG TIME AGO.

LIVE EASY, RIDE HARD | I guess If your going for just cool sound they are all right .But when I spent $1100 bucks I wanted more then just a cool sound. THUNDER HEADER is the way to go two in to one. If your going to spend the money then get the low end pull and thunder header will pull all the way through your rpm range two in to one is bad to the bone.True duals are just for noise no performance | |

| I think that is what make Harley's so much more than the other bikes ..... we make our Hog unique to us, we customize it like no one else would, our Hog is ours. I put a custom fairing on my RK Classic ... another guy would never think of doing that to a classic looking bike. It's mine and I like it. | |

Hey Brother,
Nice putt first off!
I'm new to this thread,
Just wondering if you have ridden one of the original FLHRCI's from
1999 to 2006 with a SE Stage II kit and Power Commander Ignition
Kit? What I'd like to know, without regards to having the sixth gear,
how much more "Pull or ALL OUT Get GO" this is on the 07 with or
without the new full dress front end?
TIA,
Mondo
P.S.
Keep on puttin.....
=B^)~ | |
