What are the possible negative ramifications of adding RHTD's only to the 110 motor? Thanks!

[Fired00d]

No SERT/Thundermax/PCIII or changing to hi-flo AC?? Don't think the sensors are going to be able to compensate for that change. Bike is running lean from factory just changing the pipes only might make it worse.

not an expert here but i thought just changing pipes wasnt a big deal as long as no other changes are made. if you dont touch the intake you shouldnt be making it any leaner.

I thought that was just for slip-ons (mufflers).

It will surge and run like ca ca doo doo.  Run it long enough and it will burna valve.

Sert & fat a/f ratio is the way to go generally in mho, you can tune by the ass but a dyno helps.
My pal ass tuned his street glide then dynoed it...8 pulls for 1 1/2 horse.

There are some who will nit pick a antiquated, siamese rod, air cooled v twin to death over a couple onces of torque and a few horsepower, pictures, graphs, 8x10 color glossies n all.

Oe again, just anothe aholes opinoin.

I was thinking the RHTD's might make a lean bike even leaner as well, without a tune!?! What do I know??  Looking for any and all opinions....Thanks

I wouldn't change exhaust or A/C until you're ready to have the engine retuned for these things.

Plus, it'll also look like just about every other Touring HD out there!

Any possible engine damage to a NEW 110?

Any possible engine damage?

Without retuning, very possible. I'd wait if I were you. There's an excellent PC tuner I go to near Albany, if you're waiting for that product to come out. Or from what I understand, Performance HD in Syracuse is pretty good with a SERT. But I have no first-hand knowledge of that. But I wouldn't change anything until you're prepared to have it retuned. Do it all together. That's my take on it.

what's the phrase that's been tossed around here?  "Go Big or Go Home!"

I have slip ons for now.  Bike runs great. will tune and change AC in the spring...

I don't know if you can get the V&H muffs from the TD set up and change them for now.  Then, with $$ permitting change the headers, AC and tune.  Just a thought.  it helps avoid over $1,000 up front.

Howie, what risk mechanically would there be?

RH makes slip ons, but their not the same size as their TD's. The TD's use a stepped header and larger mufflers. Stock slip-ons are 1-3/4" dia inlet. You can't use their stock size slip-ons on their TD's. And you can't use their performance TD mufflers on stock headpipes.

Being the near rocket scientist I am, I would happen to guess a high flow exhaust will decrease exhaust scavenging resulting in higer combustion chamber temperature via lower v.e. .  due to an artifically lower a/f ration,  Just a guess, do what makes you happy.

And the non-rocket scientist explanation is, if your engine runs too lean as a result, you could overheat badly, burn a valve, or worst case, blow the motor. And they wouldn't cover that damage under W.....ty.
