After bringing the bike home from the 1st service I put it up on the jack and:
Changed out the exhaust, V&H True Dual header pipes, V&H Ovals.
Stage 1 air cleaner
SE Race Tuner kit download.
Fatboy CVO teardrop cover
I know this may not be the most performance oriented setup but I have only seen one set of V&H Ovals on the road and hundreds of the Reinharts, and I felt the Reinharts were a little loud for my tastes.
Really like the open look the true duals give.
This is from a previous post:
Did 300 miles this past Saturday, mostly 95 degrees.
I would say the oil temp is now 20-25 degrees cooler! And when it does heat up in traffic it now actually comes down once I get moving again.
Not to mention that the bike runs fantastic now.
Before I did the work I hooked up a laptop and ran the bike easy and hard, recording the data. Actually it was the first time the bike saw the north side of 4500 rpm, got 3k miles on it now.
Ran the bike again with the PC hooked up to compare reading, have to figure out how to export the data to make sense and compare. Most of the info is in a “live” graph; really need to print it out.
I changed the rev limit to 6000, and did 1 6k shift, 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd. I swear it pulled the front wheel a little on the 1st shift. Pulling power is the most noticeable difference with the bike seeming it’s strongest between 2500 and 4500 in 3rd gear.
And I almost forgot, I no longer have the muffled air cleaner noise that the obviously restricted stock air cleaner has. Just no reason the stage 1 is on the Fatboy and not the EG.
If I can find a New Jersey dyno tuner maybe I’ll get that done too, but for now it runs great and the pinging is either greatly reduced or I just can’t here it anymore.
