Got my scooter in for its 1k service. At the same time I want to put some slip ons on. I heard the CFRs are nice. But I hear about a torque loss. Does any one have any insight. It’s an 18 with the 117. And other recommendations  would be appreciated.

CFR's sound good but the performance is poor unless you like to ride at 3,500+ rpm all the time.

I don’t plan on riding that high rpm. Do you have any other suggestions.

I have Cobra Neighbor-Haters and like the sound and the performance

Fullsac CVO Cores, Crushers, S&S to name a few....

Thanks I think Im going to go with the full sac baffles. Looks like they aren't that hard to do yourself. The only thing I worry about is taking the saddle bag off.

If you have the stock header (which has the catalytic converter in it), you won't have much if any TQ loss with the CFRs.  The CFRs are a problem if you have a non-cat header.

Also, with a non-cat header, the CFRs are LOUD.  Not bad with a cat--have a nice rumble.

This is from my experience with both cat and non-cat systems.  Currently running knock-off CFRs on my 2018 RGU with HD Stg 3 kit and stock header (to keep TQ loss in check).  Googled and bought megaphone mufflers for $185 w/ free shipping.  Made sure they were for M8 engine, not TC.

Thanks I actually talked to a friend of mine who actually works at harley and said the same. I was able to secure a set of CFRs form someone on the site selling them.

So here’s an update. Last night I got those CFRs on they sound great. Thanks  SDCVO for getting them out to me that transaction went real smooth.

The only problem that I encountered was the one for the right side had to be taken to a muffler shop to have expanded. The guy did me a solid and didn’t charge me. Then it fit right on. 


I’m not sure if I’m sold on them cause they way they sit on the bike.  They sit real close to the saddlebag.

There’s about a quarter inch between the bag and the pipe. And all that space to the rear fender.

Are these designated left / right only?
Or is there a recessed location to clear the lower shock mount?
Seems to be off centered in the picture.

Could it be the header pipe outlets on your bike turn out a little.
Look at the original muffler in let  as you look straight down the body to check alignment.
