Ohhh is the RG that you are trading!!  Got it! 

I did the install of the floorboard extensions.  Had them in my prior bikes and always left them on for the next owner to enjoy them.

I never go without the floorboard extentions. A must have imo

These came in today

2 inch?

What headpipes are you using?

Fullsac 2.0?

Are you changing the header pipe and/or removing the CAT?

Do you need to re-tune, or will the ECM adjust the tune automatically for this "minor" mod?

Anybody have audio files of the 2.0 vs 2.25?

Thanks,
Tractor Bubba

2", correct.  Went back and forth between 2 or 2.25...

Head pipe is the FuelMoto Ceramic coated unit... Kept that from previous bike

I have the Dynojet PowerVision from my previous bike.  Plan is to buy the license so that I can reuse it on the RK....

Sorry, no sound clips.  I listen to those already available, plus I had the same setup in the RGC CVO and it was good enough for me.  Not loud, just a deep rumble/bark.

[wachuko]

That was a quick reply...  here is the plan.

I do not plan to install the PV nor the headpipe immediately.  Only plan to install the Fullsac 2" cores and the screens.  That is it for now. 

I am not feeling the heat from this bike that I got from the RGC CVO... strange as they should behave the same... but the heat is not there like in the RGC... part is due to the lack of lowers in the RK, but I can remember the RGC being hot with or without the lowers.

I got the first service included with the deal... so the plan is to keep that bike as is (well, only cores installed) until the first service is done.

I am having second thoughts on the PV and the headpipes.  If the bike continues to work fine as is, why go through the trouble of installing the headpipes and the PV??  I want to give HD the least amount of ammo to deny warranty work... and, different from all my previous bikes, this time I got the extended HD warranty contract for peace of mind.

I know, I know... they have to prove that any issue is related to the changes I made... but I just don't want to deal with the hassle that comes with that... I must be getting old or tired of dealing with sh**t... 

Thoughts?

If the bike runs the way you want it to leave it alone and ride it IMO.

That is exactly what I am thinking... just the core's install for the additional sound and leave it alone... just put miles on it.

I really think all the reading has gotten me into to trouble on these forums. My last bike I left the motor bone stock. The only mods I did were a PC5, exhaust, stage 1 breather, and tune. Bike ran great and I had it for 4 years without a single issue. My next bike I want to just do exhaust and have it tuned by my guy and I am going to ride it and keep it serviced.

Glad you mentioned that. I thought I was just not used to the brakes on my RK compared to my RoadGlide!

Missed this comment... The front suspension in the RGC CVO really needed an upgrade.  The front suspension in the RK CVO is much better... but still dives a little more than I want it to.  I think that the change to the heavier fork oil will do the trick.

I just did not want someone reading my comment, to think that the RGC and RK front suspension felt the same... the RGC would dive like a b* when braking... I was about to order progressive monotubes for it before the trade in...

You mean to tell me that your RGC dove like this?

LOL... yeah... something like that... it was the only thing that I had pending on that bike... procrastinated on making the change because of all that it needed to come out (or that I thought it needed to come out) to get them changed...

Thank you!

Took the time tonight to install the FullSac 2" CVO Power Core inserts and the CVO Perforated Muffler Sleeves... very good install video in the website.  So no sense in full documentation for this.  Just happy with the nice subtle increase in sound and bark.

These are the welds that you have to grind down... since I only had the dremel with some metal cutting blades and time, I just went with it.  Took 10 of those little cutting wheels to smooth everything out.









Forgot to take a photo of the sleeve but they look like this installed:



New core in place:

Also replaced the stock saddlebag pins that holds the saddlebag in place.  I made the change not for security as HD improved the mounts and I don't see how someone could get them out like before... I did it mostly to avoid the pins coming out accidentally...

Taking the old holders out...



Inserted a paper to avoid scratching the paint



Out it comes



New one in place





Reuse washer from pin and bolt in...
