Another new guy
« on: December 05, 2006, 03:27:59 PM »
I just bought a new FLSTFSE2 Screamin' Eagle Fat Boy (now with 450 mi) and am in the market for a few mods. i live on Cape Cod, MA and winter is a time for upgrades...lol. anyway, i found out about this site via zippers while talking with them about their 103 cvo muscle kit. im looking for pipes as well. if you have any thoughts on the zippers 103 cvo kit or pipes (for looks and perf) i could use the help. My local HD dealer wants me to use all HD parts to meet the same end as zippers but with less performance and more $. any thoughts?. thx in advance.

First welcome and glad to see the guys at Zippers sent you here.  Lots of us have their stuff and swear by it.


You probably already know the answer to the dealer recommendation.  The only reason to go with all HD/dealer stuff is if you are concerned about warranty issues, but even then the warranty may be effected with all HD stuff too.

From the sounds of the dealer though if you were to do the zipper stuff and had a problem, that dealer isn''t likely to warranty anything.

You'll have lots of recommendation here and there are numerous threads on the upgrades you are asking about.

Hello Stratus and welcome to the site.  Unfortunatly I can't offer you any info on the Zippers stuff.  Some seem to like it and others don't.

Cheers, CVOMOE [smiley=banana.gif]

stratus,
Welcome to the best CVO/Harley site on the Internet. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] As has been stated many have used Zippers products (myself included). You can check this thread REDSHIFT 575 CAMS & OTHER PRETTY PARTS for information to the bolt in cams for the 103ci motors. If you are thinking about going to the 103 Muscle Kit offered by Zippers there are several members here that can give you information on those DCFiremann, Unbalanced, and Twolanerider.

Ride Safe,

Welcome and good luck with your new ride. Nice to see someone saying FTF, voiding the Warranty and doing what they want! I'm not ready to do that myself. I'll be anxiously waiting and watching your project so I'll know what and what not to do, after my warranty expires in 2 years. have fun with your "winter work" and keep us posted. Hoist!

thx for all the replies. my hd dealer on the cape says he can reach the same end results as zippers without jacking with my warrenty if i use hd stuff. ill have more details this week on exactly which parts and whose doing what. this should be interesting to say the least. its great to see so many cvo owners all in one place, this should be a lot of help ...woot. well anyway, thanks for the warm welcome and as soon as i have some more details on whats happening with the 103 build ill post it. sorry i havent posted any pictures, but there soon to come as well. take care and thx again.
