True Duals wont work on 08 SEUC
« on: September 23, 2007, 03:20:11 PM »

Called my salesman about status on my bike. He said that my V & H TD that came off my 07 wont work on the 08, something about the front pipe hitting on master cylinder. Now i have to either wait on another TD or just go with oval slipons with stock head pipes..... Iam going with the SERT on 08 since no T/Max not available for 08's yet.... Wonder what kind of performance i'll get with just slipsons....

Boy the MOCO sure worked hard to screw the After Market Sellers. Just another item added to the list. Nothing like developing product that will only work on a 2007 motorcycle. This will most likely add cost to the end customer account more R&D costs. :soapbox:

D$D Boarzilla wont work either (same reason) D$D Fatcat I am told fits. Great pipe sound and performance. They also have a ghost pipe if you need that two pipe look at the rear. Having Fatcat installed this week no ghost pipe. Saw and heard it on a RG looked great and sounded awsome. not to loud but just right!!!

You think this is a problem with V & H only?  A buddy of  mine just put a set or Rinharts on an 08 Street Glide.

Salesman told it had something to do with the ABS...I will find out more tomorrow when i talk to mechanic about it... What kind of performance will i be getting with the stock head pipes & V & H oval slipons. I would just run stock pipes & slipons & wait till i get some TD that fit but there going to dyno it & i dont want to pay twice for dyno when i get the TD's

You might want to get a second opinion >> I had the V&H Big Shot Duals installed on my 08 SEUC and they fit great.  I don't think they are 08 specific:nixweiss:

Iam going to be waiting at dealer @ 9am when they open up & see what the problem is....They may be pulling my chain on this one. I installed the TD on my 07, i didn't see any thing different on the 08 but there may be.....

Well went to dealer & found out that brake pedal is different on 08's. That's what's hitting the true dual exhaust from going on correctly. So now only option is to go with stock head pipes w/oval slipons. Going with the race tuner & dyno for now....

That may not be your only option.......if it's the heat shield that hitting, you can 'notch' it.  This has had to be done in the past on earlier models to get certain pipes on with the earlier brake pedals.  spyder

I would not take their word on this...some have had an issue with the brake pedal hitting the heat shield PRIOR to 08...depends on the pipe, how it's installed.  The 08's appear to have an extended brake lever.  We've got one member here who has already installed the V&H TD's on his 08 without issue.  Something smells fishy to me...

9 out of 10 times, the dealer's don't know what they are talking about on the CVO bikes, they are just repeating something they've "heard" or been told by someone else.

I actually saw the duals installed on bike. It was hitting badly on brake pedal. Would have to do some serious notching to get to work...The dealer is 70 miles away from me or i'd go back & see if would work. I called V&H and the tech person said that they got the duals to work on the 08's. I asked him if they tried them on a SEUC & there response was yes....

Some who have had issues with the pedal hitting have removed a bit of material from the pedal, then covered the spot with clearcoat touchup...where was the pedal hitting on the bike you saw?  Where the pedal makes the bend near the floorboard?  That's usually where the problem has been.  I have not seen an 08 in person, but with the thinner SE type exhaust gasket, and careful installation, I'll bet it could be made to work without making anything look unsightly.
