Something else to think about with HiPo.
Do you want Jogn Deere Tractor Pulling Torque Numbers or Big Horsepower Numbers?

Hi Dead Reckoning,
I'm not crazing for HP or obsessed with Torque!
I come from a Superbike background, Ducatis for many years, not looking for sub 3 seconds to 60mph or 180mph top ends! its not going to happen on a cruiser and nor do i want it to! have done 200mph on a Blackbird some years ago and dint ever fancy trying it again! unless on a aeroplane!
Just want to cruise, enjoy riding but at the same time have the power and feel to get a thrill when i want it!
Have already made several changes to my convertible and am looking for a exhaust that looks/sounds and performs!
If i was to choose without sacrificing too much of the other, i think it would be torque!

Beautiful bike!

Thx - I plan to keep this one. May do a race tuner next month, but still on the fence as to how much more I want to spend ?

Now if the white stuff would go away and some rain to wash all the SALT off the roads, Guess that's a bit much to hope for
here in SW Michigan until March/April.

[11 CVO Convertible]

SE 10.5:1 pistons, Cometic .027" head gasket, Hillside ported Stage III heads w/ 2.120" Intake Valves, Woods 9F cams, Woods lifters, Woods Springs, Swain Tech coatings on the pistons, heads and exhaust ports, S&S Throttle Hog, S&S push rods, S&S roller rockers, Oil Bud oil cooler, and TTS Master Tune.  I'm shooting for 125+ hp.  No need to dyno the current setup...most all 110" stockers put down about 80 hp.

I have custom made 14 gushed S.S. stepped 2 into one collector. It steppe 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" to 2" then into the Y pipe to muffler. Body is 3 1/2" core 2 3/8" about 14" long. The whole collector/muffler is 27" long.
Stepped section lets it breath at high rpm. Collector helps on the low rpm. Muffler is free flow that breaths very well with a great exhaust note! Not as loud as my Python3 pipes. Motor is S&S V111 116HP/122TQ
Pics are in FXR CVO Section. Muffler was made by Stainless Specialties in Tennessee. The 14 gushed pipe bend sections were bought online. Flash Motor Works fit/welded the headers and made the mounting bracke.
