Just picked up my 07 Springer Sunday and want to know if anyone has investigated possible pipe and race tuner combinations yet? [smiley=confused5.gif]

[hd-dude]

Welcome to the site and congrats on the new bike [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]. Be carefull around here thought because there are some people here that love to help you spend you money!

As far as the pipes and RT goes in my opinion I would wait for a month or two until the aftermarket companies come out with stuff for the 07's. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Ditto
I agree with HD Dude
It's a "new" motor per se'.....let's let the aftermarket play a little catchup and see what's the hot setup before we start spending $$ on top of $$
The local shop in Canton Ohio swears by the PC and said the same thing
Wait awhile and let them get the skinny
my 2cents

I'm not planning on any mods to the new motor till I get back from Biketobefest after Maggie Valley. I am thinking of bumping up to 103 since I am extremely happy with the way Elvis runs. With a prosthetic hip and knee, I think it's time to keep it legal anyway. The 103 kit is an easy top end no machine work install on the new 96" motor since the stroke is the same as the 103 and 110 motors. From what I gather, that is a $1,500 upgrade installed with my HOG discount on parts.Screamin Eagle makes 49 state non cat muffs that some of the techs at my dealer seem to be happy with. Basically what I am waiting for is an 07 PN for a Screamin Eagle breather and some info on a download. I am going to keep the new RG ALL H-D.

Just my $0.02

I am pretty much already decided on the Power Commander tuner and appreciate the advice from you folks. Still leaning toward the 2 into 1 design pipe.

Has anyone picked out any saddlebags for the Springer yet? I want something removeable without visible hardware when they are not on, any ideas?? [smiley=confused5.gif]

[Shodan01]

"ghost brackets" in chrome and standard locking bags....

[rogercm]

Thanks for the reply Shodan1. Where can I see or find "ghost bracket" and the lockable bags you are thinking of? Thanks again.

[Shodan01]

Go to ghostbrackets.com and then use Harley saddlebags.....

Secondly - mom used a K and N filter with SERT, with Vance and hines big radius....

LOUD AND PROUD ! ! !

I put the SERT, K&N Filter, and Vance & Hines Big Radius on my 07 Screamin Eagle Springer.  Performance improvement was unbelieveable!  I've had the Big Radius on my last Deuce and they were fine.  On this bike with the 110 engine they are a little on the loud side.  Talked with Vance and Hines and they gave me a number to another company who makes a quieter baffle.  I may try this.  I personally am very happy with my setup.

Thoughts on the Race Tuner.  All '07 Harleys are EFI, and like most EFI bikes, they are required to be factory-set to an emissions-friendly lean air-fuel ratio.  As a result, the 96 inch motor runs at a higher than normal temperature, and the 110s run even hotter.  The Race Turner (SERT) is the only way to richen the air-fuel mixture. This can be very important if you own a CVO Electraglide.  These have been overheating at an alarming rate, and I know of one person who destroyed his rear piston and cylinder due to overheating.

Got it back from the dealer today. I have the '07 Springer FXSTSSE. They installed a new SERT map and tuned the bike to a richer air/fuel ratio, and maximized the power with all stock components on the bike. (no new mufflers)

[Hoist!]

That's great info. I like your logic in this whole thing. I didn't think the factory could send them out running properly and meet EPA. Those results are pretty good for a bone stock engine. It's not a bad way to break it in before making the mods. I'm not sure if I'd Dyno a new motor though. I assume that when you buy the SERT you just have to pay to reprogram and redyno the bike, but no more software expenses, after making mods. Is that right? Do you need HD to reprogram it or can you do it yourself and then get it Dyno'd? Thanks, Hoist

[DHTDHT]

You can reprogram it yourself.

[Hoist!]

Thanks for the info DHT. I was at my dealer today and talked to the head tech about it. He told me the same thing as you. He just put it on an '07 with V&H duals and tips and had a real nice A/F ratio straight line at about 13.5:1. HP and TQ numbers about 10% higher than yours due to exhaust change. Is your A/F still a little lean? He told me that the Harley maps available are definitely close enough to run the bike for 1K mi., and then Dyno it to fine tune it. Running on the closest map is definitely better than doing nothing. I'm not thrilled about revving a new engine at those RPM's on a Dyno until the rings are seated and the little metal shavigs from break-in are drained out with the oil. I know they say tolerances are much better today and those metal shavings don't exist. I'm old school and still believe in dropping the oil&filter after 50 miles and then again at 500 and then at 1000. I do the tranny and primary too. It certainly won't hurt anything! Thanks again for your input and lots of luck with your new SE Springer. I saw it today at the dealer. Real pretty bike. Enjoy it. Hoist!
