Haven't bitten that one off yet, Roger...keep hoping the starter will croak on it's own.  Meanwhile, I've got the solenoid cover and just got the neutral switch cover and Oil Filler Spout, so that will help a bit.

I hated the UFBS so I went for it, did the neutral switch and solenoid cover.

Doing this list over the holidays:

 Touring Oil Vent Line - 33111-02

Chrome Fuel Tank Hardware - 62920-00A

Chrome Windshield Molding - 59213-96

Chrome switch covers.  71802-03

[size=11]63698-02      BRAIDED STAINLESS STEEL FUEL CROSSOVER LINE

62470-02      CHROME OIL FILLER SPOUT       $64.95[/size]

Merry Christmas to you and me [smiley=santa.gif]

Get the January issue of the American Iron mag and read the Exhaust Basics 101 article. They compare brands (Bassani, RH, V&H etc) and True Duals vs Crossovers for baggers. Lots of great info that will make your decision easier. Merry Xmas [smiley=santa3.gif]!

Thanks ALL!!  I hope everyone had a great Christmas and Santa resolved some of your OCD issues.  I really appreciate  everyone's input.  Thanks for the pictures HunDer, great looking scoot.

Well, I've made up my mind based on what I've learned from you all.  I'm going to go ahead with the RH slipons to start, see how it goes with heat this summer then decide if TD's are in my future.  I'm going to assume that it's okay to stick the RH's on now since I have less than 500 miles on my bike.

Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy the Rineharts (read that as "cheapest").

Someone chime in here, but I'm under the impression that the RH's have stepped headpipes and their mufflers only mount on their True-Dual headpipes. [smiley=confused5.gif] I assume they have a larger connection size than stock. Hoist!  8-)

Rinehart's are also offered in a slip-on version. They also have a eagle beak slip on which might be a nice touch on a "Screamin' Eagle". [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Thanks dood. I assume that you can only use these mufflers on stock headpipes or V&H TD's then? You couldn't try them on a stock headpipe set-up and then convert to their stepped headpipes after if you wanted, without changing muflers too? They refer to a "BUB Cross Dresser II header/heat shields" on that page. What kind of headers are these? Oh this is so confusing! [smiley=confused5.gif] Hoist! 8-)

Don't think these slip-ons will work on the stepped head pipes. (I could be wrong, but since other slip-ons will not fit them I would think their own wouldn't work either) Look here - Cross Dresser II Headers and Heat Shields for info on this system.

Looks like a good alternative to V&H TD's. Anyone know which would happen to be better quality, fit/finish, mounting hardware/brackets, bends, less subject to cracking, etc.? [smiley=confused5.gif] Thanks. Hoist!  8-)

Didn't realize RH had both types of systems. I guess their step-down TD system is potentially higher performance TD's than their slip on type, but gives you the convience of stock mounting connection size. Hoist!  8-)

I think what hoist is asking is if you get the slip-ons now, and later get the Rinehart TD's can you use the slip-ons on them. I'm thinking that since the slip-ons will work on existing pipes, and the mufflers on the TD's are stepped headers (and you can't use other brands of slip-ons because of fitament issues) then you will not be able to use the slip-on mufflers (by Rinehart) on the Rinehart TD's.

Trust me if it had not been for me going back and reviewing the site to see what Hoist was talking about I would have never commented on it. [smiley=nervous.gif]

You are, of course, correct, Gary...If you buy the RH slips to fit the stock header pipe size, they will not work later on if you go with the RH true dual headers.  They would however, work with the V&H TD headers.

Of course, if you ever make significantly more power with changes to the engine, the RH's step header system starts coming into it's own.  Others will make good power too though.
