Post by: ryr8828dj on August 18, 2008, 12:00:51 AM: She is one sweet crusier! There is not much more I can say... I think the bike speaks for itself. Got about 350 break-in miles and lovin every mile. The tires and suspension are fantasic in the corners and all around a comfortable crusier. The paint is unbelievable, like I say "Got to see it in person". It looks like to me the scheme is to look like a fireball... A bright orange/red ball with a trail of fire coming off of it. The paint will change its apperance as you walk around or as the light changes. Its one beautiful bike.

I gotta get a new camera but don't have the time, I'm on the bike every free minute I have. Although, high quality pictures don't show the bikes 'true colors'.... "Got to see it in person"

Get yourself a new camera, as the old saying around here goes...... :worthless:.
Then bring the bike, camera, and yourself to Maggie Valley next month and shows us in person. See events to sign up. ;D Nice bike & congrats to you. :2vrolijk_21:

Title: Re: Got it see it in person
Post by: rheiner on August 28, 2008, 12:06:22 AM: What a beauty...and in the color I want. I bet it sounds like a sewing machine with the Moco exhaust but that wouldn't stop me from riding it. lol
Title: Re: Got it see it in person
Post by: ryr8828dj on August 28, 2008, 12:39:33 AM: yea, it just sounds ok IMO... but it doesn't take anything away from the ride. Talked to my local HD service about SE pipes he recommends Rush. I'm gonna look into it.

ordered the PCIII and Rush mufflers with 2" baffles today. Sound sound and run great!
Title: Re: Got it see it in person
Post by: rheiner on September 23, 2008, 10:12:20 PM: You should have gotten the 2.25 inch Rush baffles for that size engine. I originally had the Rush 2 inch in my cvo springer and put the 2.25 inch baffles in. Much better sound.

Post by: harris48cars on September 26, 2008, 02:18:34 PM: Hey ryr88, can you advise me on what the pipes ended up sounding like and more importantly how about the PC III. Did they come from FuelMoto?

Gary

Rush slip-ons and PC came from FuelMoto, Keith was my contact. Keith told me that they had just Dynoed a 09 SE Fat Bob and that map would ship with the PC. Keith has been very helpful.

As far as the pipes... I wasn't looking for loud, just a deep throaty sound. The 2" are much deeper but IMO too loud. The new pipes have been popping on decel... Keith has told me to tweak the fuel at 0 throttle to resolve this. I've been tweaking and the popping is better but not gone. Gonna tweak a bit more today and see.

As far as the PC III my Screamin Eagle now SCREAMS! Big difference. Haven't dynoed yet but I will. Torque? More torque than I'm gonna need. Gotta hold on to this baby now cause it wants to GO! No comparison between stock SE 110 and PC.

I've got some before and after sound bites but haven't published them anywhere yet.

Hope I've helped.
