Hi All,
I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I bought my 05’ Vrscse in two tone cherry last June. Unfortunately I was only able to ride about 120 miles with it. I found a cancer issue that needed to be addressed. I ended up putting my ride in storage until last month. Cancer issue is under control, now I’m waiting for the rain to stop. It’s been raining here in New England for the last 40 days or maybe it just feels that way. Only been able to ride about 50 miles so far this season.

What a great site, looking forward to getting more info on all the CVO’s.

Ed,

So, now that we are done with the formalities, I hear a room has opened up just for you in [highlight]Cripple Creek[/highlight]. Are you going to meet naitram, his bro and me on the Pike and ride west Saturday Morning? Leaving the rest area at 0700 should put us at the Auburn interchange at 0715 and in Cripple Creek Monday Afternoon.

/Bill

Welcome to the site, Ed. Glad to hear that the medical issue is under control...you gotta' good attitude about it, and that's half the battle!! That is one sweet scoot you have there...when the Ark settles on high ground up there, maybe you'll get some ridin' time in

Maybe you can think about coming down to Maggie Valley in October...the more SE's the better, and the company is sure to be good. Better watch these guys though, they'll have you adding all kinds of "bling" to that fine looking VROD, and emptying your pockets in the process

Great bunch here, and again, welcome aboard!!!

Hi all-

This is my first post, so I apologize in advance if this isn't in the correct section....

Bought a 2015 CVO Street glide from my local dealer 2 years ago, and added the SE 585 cam, MGS pipe, Power Commander 5. After a custom map, it made 100 h.p/116 torque. Recently took a ride out to Full Sac to see Steve and swapped pipes (DX with 1.75 powercores in my stock CVO cans) in order to hit 100 ft. lbs sooner, instead of purchasing a TTS 100 or 150 cam (SE 117 kit possibly in my future). The bike seems more responsive from the butt dyno. I am thinking of throwing on a 58 mm t.b. and 5.3 injectors prior to having it retuned.

Any thoughts on how the SE 58 mm TB and 5.3 injectors will affect the performance of my bike?
