I had them put the oil cooler on and that was a mistake. I should have done it myself.
I was just out in the garage remounting the chrome cover. I wouldn't have look at it really well, It would have fallen off...

I let them do the switches also,
They sold me the bike at around 1200 under MRSP with the addition of these parts and the 7 year warranty, so what the hell. I still don't have 30 in the bike.
And as some one put it earlier, Its only money.
You can't take it with you and sure don't want to give it to your X-wife.


I really need some ideas on exhaust though.

I really want the performance of the 2 into 1, but like the look of 2 into 2.
I looked at V+H, RH, and I posted pics of Suppertrapp. I also looked pretty hard at Martin Bros, they have some nice pipes any experiences with these pipes please post.
I like it loud and I like it to perform.



thanks

Awesome looking bike, and I agree 'bout the 2 into 2 exhaust, love the looks. I sacrificed a little power and went with V&H Big Shot Staggered...love the way they look and sound-(very loud)-and I don' think the slight loss of power was a comprimise...it is very insignificant.

 Best of luck, love the add-on chrome!

Actually, if you talked to the guys at V and H, they will tell you that you get the same power if you go with a 2 into 2 compared to a 2 into 1.  They have a power chamber,  I had the Big Shot staggered on my Fat Boy, best sounding pipe I have ever heard on on fat boy or dyna for that matter.  I love the V and H stuff for those bikes.  I love the Rinehart for baggers.  Although V and  H is done some really cool stuff with baggers.

Welcome to the site! Looks like you already heavy into 'improving' you new ride, and may as well personalize it the way you want. Hey, it's only money and as was said here

Nice Bike FLYNDYNA,

I had the Bigshots on my 03 Fatboy, and I took the baffels out. It was very loud.
It took awhile to get the Power Commander programed right, but it sounded great.

I was considering the Big Radius??? I have to do something quick, the factory pipes are driving my crazy.

I have to show you my plate.
They sent me a letter though, I have to turn it in after 4 years. Some people just don't have a sense of humor

SC actually told you that you had to return it in 4 years? I'd never heard of that before.
Nice tag.  :D

I personally really like the VH Big Radius 2 into 2, but I decided to add the SERT to my bike first.  Hopefully in the spring I will be able to add the pipes.  Currently have Rush Slip-ons and really like the sound of them, but look like the stock pipes.
