My honest opinion after reading more posts than I can count on the 110 motor platform ?

Leave it alone, bone stock for the first 5,000 miles. After that, see what your dealer will go along with for mods and still be willing to honor your warranty.

Just my $0.02

My 08 has JUST broken in with just under 5K
running like a raped ape now
sounds great
loud enough yet tolerable on long rides
Vance & Hines true duals with Rush slipons
SERT and Dyno'd

certainly not a racer with a 900+ lb bike and my fat a$$ on it , but
another Ultra would be hard pressed to leave me in the dust


What were your dyno numbers?

They were disappointing but the seat of the pants test feels good
83 HP   102 ftlbs torque     I had this done with only 500 miles on the clock

after 5k it feels real good now........I would bet the numbers are better now......just feels much better

Your pants feel Torque not Hp. 102 ain't bad.

You might want to get it dynoed again just to see. Your numbers should be higher
now that you have more miles on it.

Spiderman I marked the day down as a special occasion thanks for the welcome.

I installed the IED CO cables last night but have not ridden it yet so we will see. Other than that I don't plan to do anything else at this point except ride it, I am happy with the performance at this point.

I am getting used to the lack of exhaust noise but not sure if I want to keep it that way. ;D

Thanks again to all those who have responded to my post, I know asking a question like I did is very subjective but the responses were informative.
