"My bike has a sensor along the right-side of the exhaust pipe a few inches before where the slip-ons would attach."

That wouldn't be the "active exhaust" system with the diverter valve, would it?  I understand the international models included that some years.

Not too sure if it is a diverter valve, but it is certainly part of the "active exhaust" system and all the UK '07 CVO models have them. Not too sure though what the implication is and whether it prevents me from going down the True Duals route??

Was it only the international models that had this? Can it be removed? If so will it affect the exhaust system? Any help as to how I can get around it would be greatly appreciated.

Remove em for any exhaust you want, and use a PC with flapper eliminators! Talk to Nige or Jacques!

Hoist!

Thanks for that and I will contact Nige or Jacques - but excuse my ignorance, what is a PC??

Power Commander...a device that works in conjunction with the stock ECM to control air/fuel, timing, etc.  It's a tuning device.  SERT (screamin' eagle race tuner) is another one.  Find a tuner you can trust and use whichever one he/she is most comfortable with.  Generally, a HD dealer is NOT the place to have a bike tuned.

Does your Yamaha have a SERT or a PC ?

Doh! I should have known that!

At the moment I don't have either - that is one of the modifications I would like to do over the winter. I have read sveral threads on the site concerning this topic and I am leaning towards a PC???

The problem is we don't have as many options regarding '...a tuner you can trust...' as you do in the States. And even less who have any experience of working with Harleys.

It ain't that hard to learn....really...

Whatever your best option is for a competent tuner...use what he/she suggests.  Both work well in the right hands.

Here is a pic of the sensor in question on the stock pipes.

That's your flapper system!

I think there's an issue with their flappers over there in Europe. And Dyna made Flapper Eliminators for them for the PC. I'm not sure on this. It was discussed last year. Check with the European Vets here. They'll steer you Flapper Free!!!

(BTW, Flappers are my term for your exhaust control dampers, or whatever they are)

A lot of new Harley owners feel the same way about their H-D's.

Like a blind man who has never seen, what do you have to compare it to
