Im new to this site however I am learning tons here.  I own a 05 se electra glide and my wife just bought a 06 se v-rod.  We love our bikes.  My question is this.  My wife is not interested in more power she just wants to make more noise.  I bought a set so 16G SE mufflers on e-bay for her v-rod.  My local harley dealer is telling me I need to put a race tuner in the bike for these mufflers.  Does anyone know if Harley offers a download for remaping the SE Vrod for these mufflers.  I am also wondering if remaping is even needed - the bike is already maped for the high flow air filter cams and engine - do the 16G mufflers really make that much difference.  Thank you so much for your help

Welcome to the site!

To answer your question you will need to do some mapping to the bike. Either with the RT or the PCIII. The Power commander website does list a map for your application. Good luck and lets see some bike of the bikes [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Welcome...

I have an 06 SE V-Rod w/16GA on it...H-D produced a download for these bikes and this would prevent you from having to invest into a race tuner or power commander.  If you plan upon doing any additional motor work to the bike, then you would need to invest into additional management of the motor.

Thanks for the info.  This site is fantastic.  Just as soon as I learn how to post pics of the bikes I will.  Once again Thanks

Look like you just did...

Nice bikes...

[ccr]

And yet even another two CVO bike family.  We are getting to have quite a few lately.  Nice bikes.

I have an 05 SE Vrod with a Thunderheader.  I'd go with the Power Commander and the Quick Shifter.  NOW THAT IS A RUSH!!!!  [smiley=jalapeno.gif]  She might not be looking for more power, but when she learns she can blast-off without a moment's hesitation, she'll be  [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]!!  I had a custom map done by John Golden in Myrtle Beach.

(Dang it Naitram!  Still need an ORANGE dancing vegetable!  A dancing carrot will do!)

Happy V-riding!

Yea but if I beef up her bike too much she will just leave me in the dust and I will be left behind carying all the lugage.  Not the best thing for a male ego.  LOL!

       IMO John Golden is the best tuner in the country.   [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]So what are your numbers now ?

I can't remember exactly.  Will have to go back and find dc's post right after MB or dig up the dyno sheet.  Something like 120/100.  All I know is it goes from 0 to 130 in like right now!  I'm going to see if I can talk Hubbard into talking the crew at Tilley's into teaching me how to drag race it while their Destroyer team is practicing on the track!!!

Don't worry, you'll catch up every time she has to stop for gas!  That is the only thing that sucks about the V!

Actually the numbers were hp 120 and tq was 88. Very nice curve and very good numbers for a stock SEVROD with air cleaner, thunder header and a power commander.

Wow, I would have thought they would be better based upon the '06 "Stock" numbers posted by H-D.  According to the marketing material for that model...120hp/86.0lbs @7000rpm...no mods.

Oh well.

H-D like most manufacturers uses the hp/tq numbers at the crank to make the numbers appear higher. When you get dyno hp/tq numbers they are at the rear wheel, which will be slightly lower. However these numbers are the ones that count.
