Yeah but you'd be out running the boom. I frequently bust 4500 hundred but it's on the way to the next gear.

Ok, your not cruising at that, In that case, I completely understand. makes it easier when I reset the rev limiter

Question, I've heard many hear speak of running in high rpms. I did do this while doing my V-tune session. But if you're running at 4500 rpms, what gear are you in? I'd be causing a sonic boom if I did that

I think if I hit 4500 rpm past maybe 2nd, that boom you hear will probably be hitting a tree, or more likely a car.  I'm usually watching the road though, if I might be hitting those types of rpm's and I usually glance down at the speedo to see that I'm over 100 and better back off.  Yesterday, I hit 100 on a bridge for the first time.  I was sure hoping not to hit a crosswind at that point.

After the cat gut, and tune, I ran it hard thru the gears till I hit tripple diget once.

Normally I shift around 2700 rpm.

It's night in Chicago, so this was as good as I could get.  Enjoy...

I hate to be a Nelly, but what about the state safety inspection?  Aren't they going to gripe about the reflectors being removed?

You probably need to check the inspection laws for your state.  I know that here in PA, they require one red reflector on the rear of the bike and I think a lot of states have that requirement.  I'm not sure about the sides...but then I've left my side reflectors on anyway.

no safety inspection here in TN

So that's why they allow that contraption of yours on the highways?

Screamin' Grey Contraption?

Screamin' Grey Contraption?

Yeah, that thing.  Hey, we didn't even leave the state today.  We were about half way there when one of the guys remembered it was bikini day at a local bar.  Can you say U-turn?

FWIW-
I just bought 09 SERG mufflers and put in the 1.75" baffles from Fullsac on my wife's 09 FLHX.   Runs excellent.

Thanks to Jim Kerr for the how to.

Thanks to Dartman for "have plenty of light" when grinding the welds.  I would not think of doing this in a basement or garage.   Do it in sunlight.

Thanks to Ragrep for the 1.5" hole measurement and the button head screw.  I got stainless screws and nuts at ACE Hardware.  Looks like a rivot-much better than Fullsacs galvanized hex head.  1/4 X 1/2"..

Map from FuelMoto on a PC-V and their air cleaner.

Stock 4" CVO mufflers-sounds like a Honda-The stock FLHX mufflers are MUCH louder.

1.75" baffles are throatier but not much louder than the stock 09 FLHX mufflers.

If you want noise, you better get the 2" or 2.25" baffles.  Hope this helps someone as you folks have helped me.

Was able to hear OHIODave's-thanks Dave.

Glad the mods worked out for you Bob...now you better hope that HD doesn't sell a SEFLHX in 2010 or the wifey will want to trade !!

[Highjagger]

But even then the fulsacs won`t be lost money ( i do know someone who would buy them immediately - and i see him every day when i do look into the mirror

What a weekend, spent Saturday afternoon changing out the 09 SERG CC headers for a set from this site of 09 96 Cu.In, non Cat headers, the 2" Fullsac Baffles and the new mapping that Steve included.  Everything is going smoothly until it comes to the grinding the welds.  I had a pneumatic hand grinder and grinding away, broke the weld loose and could spin the baffles, even took the time to knock them down into the pipe as a tip on the instructions.  well the weld was not smooth on the muffler and that d&*$ baffle would not come out.  I was so concerned with not cutting a hole in the muffler I worked on that until I was so frustrated I had to leave it for the night and sleep on it.  Woke up and had to play golf to clear my head from this project, and my golf game sucked cause I was still thinking about the pipes......Geeeez couldn't win for losing.  well got home from golf and went back to work on the weld, ground it down in the muffler and the freakin  baffle slid right out......wow imagine that.  So if your going to do this project yourself, take the time to push the baffle into the pipe then knock the rest of the weld off the muffler and you'll have instant gratification.......So the bike sounds great the wife is ticked cause now my mod is louder then her Vance and Hines true dual with Bub mufflers with a Power Commander and Dyno........on her 07 SG....

Atta boy!  Sometimes it's just best to walk away.  There's times I should have and didn't. Hot tempered red head I guess.    Glad you got it sorted out and are happy w/ the results!
