I have installed a set of SE on my ride this weekend. They sound great, the quality is perfect and if it wasn`t, my Dealer is only minutes away. Sounds like many are spending $$ just to say they have a certain brand. Stick with HD Parts when possible. It is only my 2 cents !!

Yes, I think I'd definitely go with SE mufflers on V&H true duals next time.

However, the quality of many, many genuine HD items is worse than anything that comes out of Bub's factory!  Some things just should not ship, as they don't fit/match/work!

I've been struggling with this for some time now and I believe that is what I'll probably do.  I like the V&H mounting system as opposed to the Rineharts (whom I don't trust anymore).  Now to find a SERT MAP for this combo on a 110...

The best map is going to be the one that you have dyno-tuned to your bike. You can get a map from someone else that has the same mods as you and be able to run your bike, but all bikes are different and the best map is one you have dyno'd to/for your bike.

If you haven`t purchased a fuel module yet, try FuelMoto. I had decided on a Power Commander.  I called them, and told them what modifications I had made. They preset the map and I had the item within two days. The bike runs very well and my fuel MPG is still between 40 and 41 MPG local riding. Yes, I do use premium gas.

FuelMoto carries a large inventory, prices their PC's very competitively, and has an extensive library of maps.  I also recommend them.  http://www.fuelmotousa.com/

Looks like Karen is going to come through once again!  I just got a reply to an e-mail I sent her containing photos and an explanation of the problem.  In the reply she said she is trying to ship me out a new left side muffler next week and that they are due in from chrome mid next week.

They must be selling every stinking one of these systems they can make as it appears there are no spare parts in inventory. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

I have the Rineharts as well and have had them for a couple years. They look and sound great (a bit loud, but put in the quiet baffles and it helps a bit) but the quality leave a bit to be desired. In the time I have owned them I have had the following issues.

1. Purple end caps - Bub has replaced them 2 times now.
2. Right side muffler developed a hole where the muffler mounts to the header - Bub replaced it, and even gave me the left side (sweet talked them!  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif])
3. Cracked rear head pipe - Bub replaced it immediately.

All in all Bub's customer service ROCKS!!! That is the one factor that really makes me like these pipes; when ever I have a problem I call and they get out a replacement part the same day....NO HASSLE. Now, does that mean I would buy them again....not sure. But what ever problems you are having just call them and they will make it right (Karen is great!).

Anyway, now to my question for you (and anyone else reading in on this thread). What are you using for tuning your EFI? I have the SERT but I cannot seem to find anyone who can properly tune it here in Germany (BTW, I am American stationed here with the U.S. Army) and my bike still doesn't run quite right in hot weather (get a little pinging). If anyone has a SERT map that they wouldn't mind sharing I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has a PCIII map that would work too....I also have a PCIII in my garage that I can revert back to if needed.

Good luck on your new pipes and thanks in advance to anyone who can possibly help me.

Your welcome to a copy of my PCIII map if it will suit, Randy - Rineharts & SE (K&N) filter, tuning done by a genuine Power Commander place on their dyno.  If your CUSE is set up the same, send me your email address and I'll email it to you.

Randy, thanks for your service to our country!

If Eqcons setup matches yours, it sounds like you're all set, but if not, or if you'd rather stay with the SERT, you'd probably get a lot more response if you posted your setup and asked for a map in the "Twin Cam" section of the board.

Also, both PCIII and SERT map files can be attached to posts (just like photos) here on the board, so there's no need to swap e-mail addy's, unless of course you just wanna do it that way.

Randy, I saw where your first post on the site back on July 22 was asking this same question but did not get any responses.  I moved that thread into the Twin Cam section for you hoping it would get more visibility.  Here's a link: http://flhrsei.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1153601357

Good idea 103T!  I thought folks would prefer to have such things mailed, but if anyone else with the same setup wants to try my map, attaching it here is good.  In fact I'd love to know what other folks think of it!  So, it's an advanced map, FLHTCUSE with Rinehart True Duals, and SE (K&N) filter.  Took the guy 32 runs on the dyno before he was happy.

Thanks Eqcons and 103T, I really appreciate it.

Eqcons,

Yeah, I may give your map a shot just to see how it runs on my bike. I wonder though, since I have a modified SERT map on my ECM now...should I zero that out before I re-install my PCIII and apply your map? What do you think? The way I understand...the PCIII will override what ever the ECM has anyway so zeroizing it may be unnecessary...or am I wrong? Thanks for the help!

103T,

Yeah, I posted this earlier but didn't receive much traffic on it. I guess since I am new to this board maybe I didn't place it in the right section. Thanks for the help!

Hmmmmm..... My first though was no, you need the ECM to be at factory settings, as the PCIII builds on those. But you started me thinking that maybe I'm wrong in always assuming that!  So...............  I don't know, but there are lots of guys around here who do, and I guess one will be along shortly.  ;)   It would be nice if some other folks got some use of that map - it cost $400!
