2014 FLHRSE Exhaust and Tuner
« on: February 18, 2014, 05:41:32 AM »

I'm considering installing D&D 2-1 Fat Cats with Thundermax tuner on my 2014 FLHRSE.  Old 2007 RK had V&H duals and great rumble that the stock CVO does not have.  I'm hoping the result of the D&D Fat Cats and Thundermax Tuner will be an increase low end torque and  a better rumble.  After the install, I'll be searching for someone to fine tune the bike, so any recommendation on a tuning wizard in the Carolina's would be appreciated.

Just got my FLHTKSE back yesterday from dealership.  I went with Fat cat and HD race tuner - results are never enough but ended up with 93HP / 110tq No race bike but still it was a very smooth number on the chart.  Good luck and look forward to hear how you end up.

Alright let me upset the applecart right now ~ do most of my posting on the Roadglide Forum ~ 30 HD's in multiple years & configurations.  However, since 06 ` FLHTCUSE, FLHTK, 12 CVO FLTRXSE.  So two 103's and a built 113.  Miles 93 on the 06, 73, on the 10 47 on the 12.  All accomplished with PCV & Autotune...  Currently a Built 113, hurricane heads reworked, and TW408-6 cams, 58mm TB and not sure how large the injectors are...  Bottom line ~ my bike runs great ~ Has never been on a dyno ~ pulled plugs yesterday and they were perfect....  I ride, hard and fast ~ Closed loop works with WideBand o2 sensors IMO.  With narrow band I am the first to tell ya ~ I don't even run lean within those parameters.  The PCV and AT is behind the ecm  ~ does it work ~ well obviously there are those that claim that it does not.  I think it does and have 200k on three bikes since 06 to stand by it.  Running components nowhere near stock my Widebands are sniffing ~ if you've had a bike dyno'd what is the tech hangin in your tailpipe?  Yep ~ that would be a Wideband 02 sensor..... So if I am running one off of each head I think I can really fine tune the beast.  The SERT is trash IMO (yes one came with my Stage III when I bought the bike, tuning with narrow band when the dyno tech use wideband, what is the point.  I may not be as educated as many of you but I ride, and really have not run into many that ride more than me (i'm thankful to do the miles I do).  Not braggin just sayin my bike in current configuration has never been dyno'd, there is nothing remotely close to stock except the cases (which have been timkened), and the jugs (bored to a 113) after an unfortunate front rod bearing failure at 16k.  So my point.  After building a bike that really rolls (not a torque monster compared to an S&S 124) but big horsepower.  I have not dyno'd, bike runs great in Florida, or the mountains of Utah, or the mountains of NC.  All this with heads that really flow, cams that roll smoothly, big injectors, 58mm TB.  So the bottom line ~ I'm sure a dyno guy using Wideband o2 sensors (hung in the tailpipe), and a flash tuner (sert, TTS, TechnoResearch, etc).  Can squeak a couple of more lb's of tq and a couple of more Hp out of it after four or five hours of abuse.....  I ride mine almost daily ~ and guess what ~ plugs look great ~ and based on the 120r numbers I've seen your feelings may be hurt by my little 113.  Not off the line, but where I ride 70+..... How is the possible ~ Wideband o2 sensors, pcv & at behind the ecm..... Not sure how it works  ~ just magic in my book ~ So for my money ~ I have run the same set up on three bikes for 200k, I'm ok with autotune utilizing wideband o2's.  I cannot speak to thundermax since I have not run it.   PS when I bought the Stage III'd 110 from the dealer (his demo) 495 miles, sert and 99hp 106ft lbs of tq ~ lasted a whole 16k before the front rod bearing made more noise than my exhaust.

Did you get it set up yet? How do you like?? Gotta tell you I didn't care for my D&D's. Too loud.

Not yet, but I ordered the D and D Boss Fat Cats with the wrapped perforated baffles.  I was worried they would be too loud and am hoping the perforated wrapped might tone it down a bit.  Which baffles are you set up with?  I'm still trying to come to a decision on the tuning side, but if I can find the right dyno guy in the Carolinas, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the SERT.

I've talked with a couple of performance shops, and they are telling me the dyno man at the local Harley Dealer on the east side of Columbia, SC is the best tuner in the state, so I'm trying to get over there today to talk with him.

Other than the sound how are yo liking the set-up?

Dyno guy at Spartanburg HD is very good.  He is also the owner.  I have the SERT and DynoJet's Powervision with autotune.  Both will give you a good tune.  As one of the posters above mentioned, I have had very good results with the PV and autotune doing the tuning myself.  Very similiar results between the SERT tune and the PV tune.  Send me a PM if you need more info about either.

Thanks for everyone's advice.  Finally settled on the D and D Boss Fat Cats 2 into 1 with Perforated Wrapped Baffles.  Decided on the SERT and had the fellow at local Harley Dealer perform the tune.  He worked on the bike for over four hours and has it humming.   Picked it up last week and am thrilled with it.  Runs strong, and performs as well as I had hoped.  Based upon all the advice and research, I think my decision turned to be what was right for me.  Although I was a bit worried it would be too loud, the sound is right for me too.    Thanks again to all. 

Will post the dyno chart tomorrow.  Am very interested in feedback, but from what I'm seeing elsewhere, the results are strong!
