Has anyone seen a failure in the brass guid that cams ride n  My S&s tc3 has come right out. 2016 cvo street glide. Dark horse crank zippers 113ci woods 999-6 cams S&s lil pump and cam plate. Feuling race lifters head work 58mm tb 5.3 injectors. The cam plate was installed with new motor build.

I'm trying to find some mid frame deflectors for my 2008 FLHRSE4. I've found several that are compatible with 01-08 touring but if there's anything I've learned in the 2 years I've had this bike, that doesn't guarantee they will fit on my CVO. Any suggestions?

I removed one last night and looked inside. Didn't look like a baffle from either end. More like a Ying yang type divider length wise, half round hole looking in either side. At the end of the stamping on the outside, it says made in USA Catalyst. Removing anything inside doesn't look promising without knowing how it was fabricated to begin with. There are welds holding the flange around the exit side pipe much like Fullsac's baffle replacement procedure explains.

The early cat equipped cvo muffler has the cat attached to the baffle tube and the whole tube assembly will slide out after cutting the welds on the end plate at the outlet side. I’ve done this on CA mufflers in the past.
I have Some stock 49 state mufflers without the cat and you will not see the honeycomb cat looking down the inlet side of the cvo muffler only some steel baffles or plates.
I hope this helps some, HD has changed the inside of the cvo quite a bit over the years.
Steve at Fullsac has more information on those than most!

I didn't think they started putting cats in bike exhaust until 2010  If so and the ones you bought are 06-08, those aren't cats in them.

There are still some 49 state cvo mufflers available on eBay that work great with Fullsac cores.
I have those in my 1995 and my 2019 now and have run them for years in all my baggers. With different size cores they will get that sound you want. They work well with the bigger engines as well.
Check Ronnie’s for the early part numbers I believe end in -00
Happy hunting.

My 08 CVO 110 Roadking had true duals (Brand unknown) and Vance Hines trumpet type annoying mufflers. I tried some cheap Shark road mufflers that sounded good for one week long trip then the insides fell apart and rattled. I bought a pair of 66080-06A mufflers claimed to be 06 to 08 CVO Mufflers off E bay. They are quiet and I believe too restrictive and choking the motor down. I believe they have cats in them. What would I need to do to remove the cats from these mufflers? I called to order Fullsac power tubes and techmats, but they say they won't work for cat mufflers. The old Vance Hines mufflers ran fine but I couldn't handle the sound any more, so I'm thinking no Cats in these mufflers may get me what I'm looking for on a tight budget. Any advice would be appreciated.

Good luck, hope it works out!  They are really awesome bikes.  If I can help along your journey, don't hesitate to reach out.

Well I walked away. I didn't end up going for a test ride because it was dumbing rain, but talking numbers they would not budge due to it only be listed for 2 days. I wanted to get OTD @ $14k all in, not $14.6k (+ Tax/Title/License and a $250 documentation fee) Which all in with all that was $15.8k... give or take

I just said if you change your mind you have my contact info.

If you're good, I'm good lol.  You asked "what do you guys think", that's my two cents, I've been into these Springers since 2010 and have five Springers currently.  There is little to no real-world price variation based on color scheme...it's all miles, condition, and originality.  You cannot find original items out there for these bikes. 

I think what I posted in this thread a year ago still stands:  "A 2009 with 17K miles is worth about $15K. For $18,500 you can get a collectors bike - under 5K miles and mint."

A 30K mile bike, I'd say $12,500.

Oh, no worries.. I'm good... and to be clear... It's not mine yet... I am heading down to the dealer tomorrow to look it over and test ride it. Make sure it's the bike I want. I have never ridden a springer... Who knows, I may not even like it. I've been behind a fairing for YEARS now... It's not a done deal until it is. I probably jumped the gun a bit with my post above... LOL. But ya.. all good here...!
