I did It
« on: September 20, 2010, 07:39:28 PM »

I did it. After much thought and some regret I traded in my 2010 CVO Convertable  and purchased a 2011 CVO Street Glide. Now before you all say how crazy I am ( you may be right ) the reason I had to let the Softail go was purely phyical. I am loaded with arthritis and any ride over 100 miles was pure hell.

Anyway I truely love the Street Glide. It is without a doubt the best cycle I ever owned , and i have owned some great bikes over my 60 years. I plan on dressing the bike slowly, starting off with exhaust and adding a few things along the way.

I am sure everyone has there own personal preferences but I am looking for the system that produces that Harley deep rumble. I don't like that hollow sound that a lot of pipes put out today.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated  and I will try to check them out.

Congrats.  I have my Autumn Haze only a week and have reached the first service check at 1600 km.  I ordered the 110 stage 1 upgrade kit from Fullsac today.  I went this route because i like the look of the stock exhaust.  Many on this site have recommended them so i will see in a few weeks how this will work out.  Enjoy the bike because i sure am.

I've only had my fullsac goodies on the bike for a few days, but so far running great and tons of compliments on the sound.  Great upgrade...

I have never heard a set up on a 110 motor that sounds deeper or better than true duals with CFR's....hands down  :2vrolijk_21:

Now before anyone gets their panties all bunched up lol....that's NOT saying I haven't heard any others that I like...I have...a number of them....just not as much....CFR's have a sound like no other....when combined with a 110 motor and true duals it's very deep....very bad @ss....and hearing each cylinder lite off through this setup is pure Harley V Twin music at it's best !!!

Touring is good as well.....it's there but not obnoxious....until you drop a gear, crack the throttle and wake the giant....then all hell brakes loose :6:

Oh and I forgot to say....GRATS on the bike....I did it too....couple weeks ago :2vrolijk_20:

One more thing...what I mentioned above is not the best set up if your looking to maintain/gain the most HP and Torque out of this motor...very little back pressure and a tricky tune....but the sound is addictive to say the least  ::)

Mr_Ed,

My dealer has CFRs waiting for me when I get to 1500 miles and they do the first service. They had never heard of them, and neither had I until I ran into a guy in Sturgis who swore them. Sounded great to me too.

What is your exact set up? They're recommending changing the headpipes and installing a SEST.

Any advice/suggestions? From my research, it looked like CFR had one product for SGs...

Thanks.

I had them on my 07 SERK....stock motor...Vance and Hines true duals....CFR slip-ons...and a Power Commander.  I will not do a Power Commander again...go with either a SERT or TTS.

Congrats on the new ride. I put reinhart slip-ons on my new FLHXSE2 and I do like the rummble, but Steve @ Fullsac told me to hang on to originals, because once his x pipe is installed it will be loud. Guess i'll find out. i've got a whopping 300 miles, but hoping to finish the break-in with a trip to Anacortes this weekend for the Oyster Run. Again congrats on the new ride. :pepper:
