I took the catless beast for a cruise.  Slighty different sound, and I am sure it is breathing better. 
Next the Super SERT.
I said I wouldn't.....but I love the sound of those 1 3/4 fulsacs on Jim's bike. 
It seems it would be easy to swap the fulsacs and the originals if it is just the one small bolt on the bottom to hold them in.

Mine is OUT!  Just a few details that might help the next guy.
The entire cc in mine measured just 5 inches, I think some have been up to 7 inches long.
I used thread cutting oil to cool the bit...went about a half inch at a time.  Then dunked the bit in the bowl full of thread cutting oil to cool. 
The bolt is a 3" long 5/8 thread bolt with a 15/16 socket to fit.  My core bit is 1.5" X 17" from ebay.
20+ year old black and decker drill did just fine.
Place some towels over the wheel and brake disc, I did not want any of the cutting oil on the disc.  Then started without the muffler to blow the crap out...surprised to see no debri at all.   
Little stinky and smokey until I got the cutting oil burned out.

Awesome job!

Thanks Jim
 
Are you still going to get the 2" fulsacs and do you need a new owner for your 1 3/4 fulsacs.   
I also just saw your ipod holder...who makes that?

Greg, I got the 2" yesterday.  I have to install them and dyno before I make the decision on which pipe I will keep. 

The ipod holder I use was made by Riders Claw (www.ridersclaw.com).  Tell them that I sent you.  If he gets enough referrals he may offer everyone a discount.  It is a quality unit and holds the ipod securely.

Thanks Jim

Turns out he is just down the road in Batavia, according to the web site.

Looking forward to your reaction, and next sound clip addition for the 2" fulsacs. 

Great info! Great website!

I just drooped of the O/B 2009 SERG to my dealer this morning. They are putting on a set of 96inch motor head pipes (without the CAT) and a new dyno tune. I have the bike set up the following:

1) Reinhart mufflers (performance baffle)
2) SE Heavy Breather
3) 2009 96 inch motor head pipes
4) Super Tuner (Dyno)

Any thoughts on what I might get out of it? I am hoping for 95+ hp and 110+ torque.

I went to a rental tool company   ...   rented a bigggg..gg drill and the cored bit

drilled thru the cat in 8 or 9 minutes   ...   minimum cost

Good move!  I tried the rental places first, just could not find one that had core bit the right length and size.
Glad it worked for you.

Understand through the excellent information provided that removal of the catalytic converter from right side will help a cvo 110 engine breath significantly better as cylinders only fire on at a time.  Is there a catalytic converter in header that supports the left side or is there only one catalytic converter to support both sides of exhaust?  If there are two catalytic converters, is the second in the header pipe under frame or left muffler ?

Should only be one before the junction where the left pipe kicks off.

Yep, only one cat.  There is a collector where the two headers combine into one.  The cat is in the collector.  The exhaust passes through the cat and then makes the 90 degree turn toward the left pipe and the majority of the gas goes toward the right (straight shot).  The 90 degree crossover is after the cat.  It is not obstructed by it after it is removed.

   Thanks for the quick responses. Sure is nice to be able to ask a technical cvo question and get an answer in less than 24 hours. Great web site and members!

Another cat bites the dust. Thanks Jim for great information on doing this. For something so light it sure is tough. Now on to the other mods.....Forgot no Power Commander yet for 09's.
