After much thought and listening to folks on this forum, and looking at every dual system I could find at events, I have decided I want to get the Rinehart TDs, FuelPak (or SERT) and breather help.

I talked to a nice guy at Rinehart (bubent) who warned me that about 50% of the time there is a fit problem with the brake lever on the 2007 CUSE2.  He said that, if so, I can change to the standard HD brake lever and it will fit.  (yuk...ugly)

Since many of you seem to have the Rinehart TDs, I am wondering if this is really likely to be an issue, and have any of you figured it out.

Thanks for sharing your experience, and thoughts

Scewtr,
Even though I have the V&H duals on my bike, I don't think the fitment issue was with the SEUC's but rather the SERKs for some reason.  You should be good to go on the SEUC.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Cheers ,

Front pipe & brake lever have no interference issue at all on mine. I did 'em myself and they're not even close.

There is a member on here who posted a big problem with the RH TD's fitting on his 07 SEUC.  I believe it was member copout, but please do a a search and you can read the long thread that he and others contributed to.  I will try to find it as well.

I installed the Rinehart's on mine and had no problem and absolutely love them, but there are some out there that have had fitment issues. From what one person at BUB told me , apparently the moco has more than one jig to make the frames & tolerances are such that some bikes are just a little off and the front pipe hits the brake pedal. I find that pretty easy to believe, but who knows.

scewtr - I spoke to Bub (Rinehart manufacturer) on this issue.  They state that some fit, others don't.  Most likely reason, IMHO, is that some "forget" to change thick exhaust exhaust gaskets to the thinner variety that comes with Rinehart. 

Plus, instead of Bub acknowledging that some of their pipes might be just a tad off (mounting tabs, bend, etc.), they push the blame to Harley frames being off possibly. Normal for one to look at the other being at fault though.

Nothing a good grinding wheel can't resolve usually.  All the folks I know had no fitment issues.  Pipes will be in next week, so we shall see soon ourselves.

Call Bub if you want to hear it from the tech "horse's mouth".  These guys are a wealth of info usually.

I can't believe anybody would buy into that lame excuse. If some "pipebender" really believes his product has greater consistency and quality than a motorcycle manufacturers jig built frames, he has obviously been sleeping to close to the medicine cabinet. BUB has had issues for years with product consistency and overall quality. Although the Rindhart exhaust is a very nice system (If you like it really loud), the return rate for part replacement due to quality issues is among the highest in the industry. My dealer had to return parts twice to finally get a complete system that would assemble correctly on my last bike.

[GasRat]

I guess the bottom line here is that there have been some issues with fitment with these pipes, why, I suppose we will never really know. As far as replacement due to quality issues throughout the industry I couldn't even guess where rinehart stands next to everyone else. What I do know is that the half dozen or so people that I know, that have personally installed these pipes themselves have not had any issues with the fitting of them on there baggers.

[scewtr]

I thank those who have offered information.  I have ordered the Rinehart TDs and the screamin eagle breather.  I also ordered the SERT, but it is back ordered for about 6 weeks.  I guess I'll have to patient, like a grownup; Yuk! 

(By the way, Rinehart does offer a quiet baffle, which shifts torque towards the low end.  I chose that set up.)

I have what seems to be an excellent dealer/shop in Tallahassee, (Capitol City) and they like this set up.  That was a big factor in my decision.  I have heard from others that if they do the install of a system they like (see above) then they are really good about followup and warranty issues.

Thanks again for your help, and this terrific forum.

The true duals fit my 07 SEUC perfect... not fitment problem. I ride with a guy that has an 06 SEUC and the dealer had to dimple his heat shield a bit to clear the break peddle.

While healthy debate is great - and this site is a great place for healthy debate - I have to wonder if you can back up this statement.   Is this an opinion or can you quote a credible source?   Denis Manning is much more then a "pipebender" - he is a motorcycle icon and a real biker - calling him a "pipebender" is pretty harsh.  If you can quote a souce, please do so.  If your statements are opinion - you should say so.

[SPIDERMAN]

I'll give an opinion.

                         I've been riding for 40 years. I've bought more sets of pipes and mufflers than any sane person should and I have NEVER, EVER had an exhaust system I loved as much as the Reinhart True Dual System on Elvis my 03 SERK right now. Absolutely hands down the most pleasant sounding exhaust ever , gorgeous to look at ( I have chrome tips) and they perform really well. Yes, there are two into one systems that perform better and I honestly believe Beagle's Hooker True Duals perform a bit better, but the Hookers are obnoxiously loud and I don't like two into one on a bagger. So this C.O.B.B.'s opinion for whatever it's worth is that Reinhart makes a quality product that performs very well, looks fantastic and sounds like Hog Heaven.

I am going to change out my stock exhaust to Rinehart True Duals with a SE Stage One kit and a SE SERT, will let you know how it goes.  Can't wait, tired of the stock exhaust.
