If you are with the bike during all the installs....how about a few pictures??

Russ, I really need to take some photos. I just can't seem to get myself to do it either with my pro gear or even my iPhone I need to start taking some shots. I'll try and get some on here soon.

How about doing a thread on the suspension changes when done. Would really like to hear what you think.

Great idea. I started a thread here.

I called Fullsac today and purchased the 2.0 baffles for my ride. Got a message on email that they are already shipped. wow what service! Thanks Steve.
I was going to go with Rinehart slip-ons but all of you convinced me this is the best option. I have to agree for the $ using the same cans, which look good, is my best option. More upgrades later for X pipe, TTS Mastertune and Air.

Although some warned me about this site offering to spend my money this choice was a wise one that saved me $$. Thanks to your input on the various threads. This site is a great experience. 
Ride safe.

Always happy to help spend someone elses money. Enjoy the Fullsacs!

It's all about spending other people's money.  Isn't that what our current government does best?

Installed the 2.0 inch baffles on Chitlin's new SESG yesterday.  Used the dremel with a grinding stone to remove welds on stock baffle--worked well and was easy to avoid damage to muffler body.  Left the stock packing in the muffler, drilled 1/4" hole 1 1/2" from end and installed new baffle using a wood block and hammer to drive baffle in.  Did 200 mile test ride and am very happy with the sound!  Sounds like Rinehart duals but not quite as loud (and I don't think Rineharts are too loud).  All went smoothly and everything went back together perfectly---mostly due to the advice and shared experiences here on this website!  This forum has been a very valuable source of information, but I haven't yet decided what tuner to use.  I think the guys at the HD dealerships have been told to always recommend their own product, and one service manager told me he didn't like the PC because it added more "connections"!  Two others told me the PC has a high failure rate due to moisture.   Right now, I'm leaning toward the Zipper's Thundermax w/ autotune over the PC V w/ autotune because of space, so it will probably be the Thundermax or the HD supertuner.  But first I will install the Vance & Hines Power Dual headpipes--which I chose over the Fullsac "B" headpipes mostly because I don't really like the looks of the stock heatshields.

As regards tuners, don't rule out TTS Mastertune.

[lvse110se5]

I agree, check put the TTS Mastertune

I went just the opposite for the same reason!
Our bikes are very personal, aren't they?

I installed the Fullsac x-pipe and 1.75 baffles on my bike a few weeks ago. Thanks to all the great info on this site...things went smoothly. I've seen a nice gain in performance. Now...I'm waiting for the weather to warm up so I can see if the engine heat is reduced.

[FL54]

After looking into the stock headpipe and seeing how badly the cat blocked the flow, you have to think it will reduce engine heat.  Funny but even though I've ridden my bike in hot weather (over 100 degrees) it never got overheated.  I didn't have to ride it in traffic in that heat however, only on the open road.

[StrikerDown]

Many thanks to all who have posted here. This site is a wealth of knowledge and experience.

My heat issue is with the cat and the way air flows off of it. Crusin down the road the air flows past the Cat and swirls up by my right leg heating up the back side of the my leg from calf to cheek!

This is the first bike I have had this problem with and first bike with a cat so I'm thinking it (the cat) must be the problem. Too bad a little anti freeze won't fix this cat!  

Just received the Fullsac 2" baffles and haven't put them in yet. I am seriously thinking of the X pipe and the rest of the Fullsac Stage 1 upgrade.

Question:

The Scremin Eagle catalog states with a CVO and their High Flow Air Cleaner that a different AC cover is required, Anyone know is this is the case?

Is the Arlen Ness Big Sucker just a better way to go? (it comes in chrome too!)

Edit: I talked with Steve at Fullsac... He will ship me the Stage 1 with X pipe as soon as they arrive from being Ceramic coated, And a big sucker too!

I went with Arlene Ness per Steve
