Hello from Houston
« on: October 05, 2012, 09:25:51 AM »

Just bought a '13 110th Ultra CVO a couple of weeks ago. Been riding for forty years but this CVO is like no Harley I've ever ridden. My old bike is a 2001 Electraglide with a 120ci Merch and Baker six speed. It'll outrun the CVO but not by much and what a difference in the ride and handling! I'm probably going to change the exhaust on the CVO to a V&H header and Rinehart slip-ons as soon as I get it broke in but honestly the quiet pipes ain't all that bad. At any rate hello to everyone!

Welcome from East Tennesee, Dave.  Hey, post some pics of the new scoot as we would love to see it!  It's a great site for conversation, information and good, clean humor.  We have lots of fun here.

A recommendation on the exhaust...Fullsac.  It's worth looking into if you are thinking of exhaust mods.  Lot's of discussion on the exhaust portion of the site....You're welcome, Steve.... :2vrolijk_21:

Enjoy the new scoot (did I mention posting some pics?), this site and keep it between the ditches... :bananarock:

Welcome from San Jose, CA!  :2vrolijk_21:

I agree with Ultrarider1.  Check out the Fullsac exhaust mods.  Their two into one exhaust will up the torq and power band if that's what you're seeking.  At this time I've got the Rinehart True Duels and I love the sound.  But there's a price to pay on the power side.  They were on the bike when I purchased it and I'm not inclined to replace them yet.  If I were buying a complete new exhaust, Fullsac would be my choice.

To decide for yourself, read the posts on this section of the board:  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?board=27.0
