Possible New Bike

Bob is know for his tw6hg 590 lift cam
Well his new 555 cam is on the same duration but only 555 lift instead of 590 so you don't have to do work on the springs in the heads.



555 cam rocks. Got buddy's with them. They won't shutup on how good it runs.

Yes, thanks FLHT.

I think it has been decided. If I want to buy now, I have to buy that Eglide for just under 10k. If I want that FLHX I have to wait till October. I think that I am going to wait until October. I need to wait to let my credit score recover a little bit after spending nearly 40k on two vehicles. I am positive that it will be a Street Glide.

Now this brings a different aspect to the conversation, which pipes should I go with? I am not interested in a 2 into 1. Just a True Dual..

Here is the header pipe. Got both 12mm and 18mm bungs.

 Jackpot 2/1/2 Headpipes

Call Eastern performance and see what you can git a Thunder-Max for.
And call Phat performance on the stout mufflers.

True Duals? take a pass.

Stay with the factory style pipes , you can use the header pipes I showed you.
If not go with VAnce and Hines POwer Duals.
Don't go with True Duals, you will loose some power on bottom end.
This has been proven time and time again on a dyno.

Be worth the wait...one of these days I might buy something new
Go to a demo day with HR and test a couple of models,you like the SG,HR may prefer an EGlide with a tour pak and the "lazy boy seat with the large backrest and armrests"...
Then you'll prolly want a Stage 1 kit,if so here's a one stop shop you can get it all and a mapped tuner,install and you're done,then get on and ride....

Fuel Moto Power Packages

If you don't want Fuelmoto Stainless X pipes.
Look at the VAnce and Hines Power Duals for a 2009 bike if you go with the Thunder-Max. Then they will have the 18mm bungs in them and go with Monster Rounds
Do not git the hight outputs, they are for built motors.

One of the biggest folks in the business is Fulsac performance.
He also has a pipes like the X pipes Fuelmoto sells.

Ride the bike, break it in and enjoy it and make a bunch of payments on it.
Remember anything you do to it, if you loose it all that money becomes Harleys. when they reposses it.
That's why you don't see me doing much more than I did. I want go pay if off.
It would really, really hurt if I screw up and lost it.

I would probably get the detach tour pack with the lazy boy. It was HR that said that she wanted the smaller bike (touring). I am not going to say no.

I wouldn't either Something to consider is,the EGlide Classic and SG are the same price and tour paks aren't cheap(guesstimate at about a grand)...you can remove the tour pak from the Classic put on a set of low profile shocks or stock SG takeoffs(SG is stock with low profile shocks) and you have a SG with bag guards....
Low shocks and quick detach tour pak kit would be a lot less than buying the tour pak,backrest and quick detach kit.

yes right now the Classic is the best buy Harley has going on touring bikes, another year or two and they probably won't make them any more, just like the standard, on to something more expensive.
You can also have the seat worked on to get a lower sitting position, there are some guys out there that do great work on seats. And the kick backs from Chucktx and you're at Street Glide height.

All good arguments guys but isn't dropping the suspension on the EGlide going to run about the same as it would cost to put the detach tour pack on the SG? Kind of a catch 22 if you ask me...

Don't have a catalogue in front of me but I think it's a pretty safe bet that shorter shocks for an Electra Glide is going to be cheaper than a tour pac plus hardware to mount it on a Street Glide. The passenger section of the seat on an Electra Glide is a whole lot more significant other friendly than the rear perch on a Street Glide. You get the spot lights, bag guards..it's one of the better deals out there..I sure like mine and I went with the shorter rear shock route.

Give me a ultra

I didn't care for the front lowers that the 98 had on the bike so I don't really care about those. I guess the the main reason why I like the SG is that I like the stripped down look. I don't need all of the stuff the EGlide has on it. Why would I need to lower the SG anyways?? I feel just fine on it, I handle the bike nicely, It has the power that I need. Besides, I would be able to negotiate a 1500 free accessory package for the bike, so that solves that problem..
