Have bike in for 1K service and install of AC, SERT, Pipes and other goodies.  Specified D&D FatCats 2 into 1 but dealer called today and says will not fit '08SEUC??  I know I have seen these on a number of 08's here on the board and would like to know if you had any fitment issues.  Dealer says not enough clearence at brake pedal and master cylinder??  Says they called D&D and they said they were aware of problem but dont have solution and suggested a little back yard engineering by clipping heat shields or grinding down billett brake pedal.  Dealer is going to try stock pedal which they say has more cleareance but boy I do not like the look of it compared to the CVO version.

Has anyone with the D&D's on an '08 SEUltra had this problem?  If so how did you resolve?  Very much appreciate your imput!

Had the fatcats on my 08 SEUC. But i did have to knotch the heatshield for brake pedal clearance thou. Other than that they fit fine.

Show him a picture of mine!

I have D&D Fat Cats 2-1 on my 2008 Anny and the mechanic I used did hot have to clearance anything. He told me there is a "sweet spot" for these types of exhaust and that there is very little clearance outside it.

Get your bike out of there!   

If they can't mount an exhaust, do you really want them working on it at all.   
 
Gaaaaa!

Here's a better photo for you...

No problem mounting mine (08 SEUC). As stated there is a "sweet spot" where they'll slip in w/ a little finnesse.

Question for you guys, how much heat do you get off those pipes? Those fat cats sure look sweet!

The Road Glide with duals was hot.  Very hot.  The change to FatCats and a good tune made it much much MUCH better.  Heat no issue at all in any kind of normal use.  The red bike is the same.  The difference before/after on the Road Glide though was really dramatic.

Also might try an aftermarket brake pedal.  I have an '07 and don't know what difference there may be but with my E-Z brake pedal I have a huge amount of clearance.

I have a set of Fat Cats in my garage that are going on the 06 CUSE this weekend. I had a fitment problem with the Freedom TD's I'm taking off. The solution was a Kuriakyn brake arm. It looks just like the slotted arm on the 06 but has a little different angle. It's lighter and I think nicer than the HD part. I plan to leave the Kury arm on the bike with the Fat Cats even if the stock arm would work. You might want to look into that. I can't make comparissons between the 06 and 08 but I'm sure someone here can jump in with that.

BaggerDave / Apitts, did you have to change your AC cover too?

Didn't have to, chose to.

Baggerdave,

No I did not have to change my AC cover. Just do not like the generic football.

I meant Wenchal...
