LOL!!!! I only know what people tell me or I read.

Yeah, and what happened to those Harley ears we all spoke of last month?  If I hear a Harley. I'm getting up to see it.  And you know d00d coulda caught up with Jerry.  But alas, now we're Monday morning quarterbacking.  Keep those Harley ears clean!!!!!!!!  You never know when a CVO Harley Bro is gonna pass through and not know he has family within yards of his path.

Henry, she is not complaining because the engine is most definitley cooler.  Pipes are a little louder than she would like I know but all in all A-OK.  BTW I think they sound awesome.  Really like the D&Ds - thanks JR and PHAZE for blazing the trail on them.

Great news.  Good to hear you were able to get your rumble back and keep the missus happy and cooler at the same time.

Jerry,
Just checked your blog and see you aren't in Charlottesville for the night, but you did pass right by my subdivision on the way up Rt. 29 today. I could have met you on BRP and rode back as far as home w/you. Oh well, next time. Enjoy your trip.

Gary, no slight intended.  Just did not realize you were that close!  Bummer man.  Please forgive me.  I would not have passed you intentionally for anything!

Guys, all I can say is thank god I put the pipes on the bike and got 'er dyno tuned else we would have died today for sure.  Godawful traffic around Baltimore and then on I-95 / I-495 to Wilmington we got stuck in the mother of all traffic jams.  No chit, there we were for 15 miles in bumper to bumper move 10 feet and stop traffic (toll booths did not help traffic move either).  Bike got hot but not nearly as hot as it was before the tune.  I just cannot believe how much difference that made, lol.

Jerry,
When in that traffic, did you notice a decrease in idle when you were standing still?  In other words, even after the tune, did the bike go into heat management mode?  Do you have a digital oil temp gage?  Were you able to check and see just how hot the oil was?  Would like to compare your temps to mine.  I'm running about 225 when I stop after a long cruise.  I've noticed in town my idle will drop to 900 in traffic with oil temps up to 230.

Henry, yes I do (did) have a digital oil temp dipstick but it bit the dust, went out to lunch, etc.  I asked the tuner to leave eitms enabled (where reay cyl drops out if too hot).  Failed to verify with him if he did but thank so since seemed to me rear cyl did quit firing a few times.  Had to give it little extra throttle to get it going, but no problem.  No idea about oil temp but I have seen as high as 270 before tune.

270.  Wow!  That's hot.  I got up to 262 in Alexandria, VA right before my oil cooler line let go.  Apparently it had been leaking for quite some time, which resulted in the abnormally high temps.  Good to hear your's is running much better.  Best to you and your Queen on your ride across this Great Nation of our's.

Same here, B....got 40-41mpg two up and loaded on our trip when running the BRP, etc.  Get it on the interstate though, and it drops to 32-35, depending on how many trucks I have to get around.  Below 3K seems to be the big factor.  I'm not complaining about that though...bike is running fine, and cool enough.

Are you saying below 3k you get better fuel consumption or worse?

Better...much better.

We've ridden about 2,200 miles so far on the Posse Ride and I must say I really, really like the D&Ds.  But there is one big problem.  The way the rear cyl pipes curves around HQ's boot lace came untied Monday and the lace melted on the heat shield.  Got most of it off with lots and lots of effort then yesterday my rain suit pants got on it.  I have the good H-D gray two piece and the pant legs have protective material to guard against hot pipes but the D&D is too high and caught it just above the protective material.  Rain suit is looser than jeans and very, very hard not to get too close to that rear pipe when stopped.

So you guys that have them what do you do?
