Thanks for the insight! Might take a look at it, not sure if it'll go really with the theme for the bike I'm looking for but maybe.

OP...leg clearance. Yeah the mini might be the way to go then.
Glad to hear you like em, how are they on longer rides, annoying?

Yea I'm thinking either the mini or the SE High Flow Intake yet, looking to see if anyone is running that on here and can give me a feel for how their clearance is.

Think you’ll be ok. Whatever you do, DO NOT buy any aftermarket pipes or motor parts through your dealer. Harley snoops on their computers and can void based on non-compliant purchases. The SE Tuner is the biggest deal so you should be good otherwise. My dealer says the same thing regarding warranty. Technically crossing the EPA line by removing the cat is a no-no, but I’ve heard it has not been an issue. Also it takes 10 minutes to swap your old cans back on if you need to.

Personally I like them on long rides. Once you are cruising they mellow out, but still have a nice rumble you can hear over the wind and tires. Nothing too loud though. Wind noise is generally worse on long trips than pipes.

16 years in MN made me a Vikes fan, but I’m one of them that appreciates the Packers. I’ll root for the Pack against anyone ....except the Vikes of course. Hope we have a great season.

Should be an interesting Sunday for sure! The Vikings aren't getting the attention they deserve, everyone is talking about the Packers and Bears in the North but I think the Vikings are a definite sleeper team this year. Good luck and thanks for all the feedback!

Ha! Sort of feels like that every year for the Vikes hahaha. I guess everyone burned out in the Carter/Moss years when there was sooooo much potential they just couldn’t consistently turn into wins. Yeah this season should be fun for both of us!
