Welcome aboard hotrod! Well, some of us are nuts, but we're not crazy. These things are real, and you found the right spot to find answers. The Redline Shockproof Heavy helps. It's about as good as it gets. You're not getting rid of that 5th gear whine though. Makes it better, and it shifts much smoother. I like it. I used the S&S SPO's from the day I got the bike. I love those mufflers. Perfect sound. I needed a bigger exhaust system, and it bummed me out to remove them for the 2>1 D&D Fatcats. I did a lot of work to get rid of all the things you bring up and more. Depending how much you're into the bike, will determine how you're going to deal with it. Good luck with your bike and enjoy the site!

Hoist!

Welcome to the site! Hope you get your issues resolved on the new scooter. It's a damn shame to see this on what is supposedly is a 'hand-built-custom' bike! Just think what the run of the mill non-CVO owners must be saying

Welcome from Louisville, KY. I am getting my Cherry slowly popped as well, as things are going south... I agree that HD should be ashamed to out thier name on this bike. Come'on for the money it could have been 100 times better than it is...

I bought the fuel pak with the V&H TD, I also added the stage 1 kit which includes A/C, lost some initial power but runs noticably cooler and with the stock mufflers sounds OK for me
