Tomcat,
Welcome from sunny HOT Oklahoma
I didn't see a location for you???
What year is your CUSE? Please post a pic of your new ride. These guys here will hound you until you do
No, everyone here is helpful and very knowledgeable. We don't care what you look like, just want to see a pic of the bike
I have had my 08 CUSE for a few weeks now. I had the V&H Big Shot duals and the SE backplate for the A/C put on before I rode it home . I really like the look of the pipes, but they are a bit louder than than I like. I think V&H make some quieter baffles that I may try. Probably the easiest and cheapest way to improve performance, looks, and sound is to change the exhaust and the backplate on the A/C. The faster you can move air through the engine, the better.
If you change the exhaust and A/C, you will need to have the ECM remapped. These changes will improve the performance, most likely improve gas mileage and cause the engine to run cooler.
