After much reading I decided on D&D and SE heavy breather for stage 1. They arrived today and look sweet.

This is my first bike. I picked up a 2000 super glide around new years. It was in mint condition with only 3000 miles but... virtually stock.
I haven't done any wrenching in a few years and never on motorcycles but I intend to do all the work myself. I read enough stuff that I'm certain I can get the tune close. I have a service manual and a dealership close by. Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. Wish me luck!

 

Good luck. Make sure you buy new exhaust gaskets. The stock ones are fine. Don't get the SE exhaust gaskets. Have heard they stink.

 

+1 on the SE gaskets stink!

 

Yup, what they said. Good luck, time your time. Have a buddy help you. Always makes things go smoother to have an extra pair of hands. Post up some pics when you get done with it.

 

Great first bike! I am kind of partial to the Fat Cats and the SEHB my ownself. You will enjoy their effects on your beast.

 

The Fat Cat is such a great pipe. I enjoy the performance, sound, and looks and you will to.

 

Another Fatcat fan here. I could not get the stock tapered gaskets to work right with my Fatcat so I tried the SE gaskets and the install was a piece of cake after that. A lot of people do not like the SE gaskets but for $7.95 or whatever they cost you might consider having a set on hand for your install.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the gaskets. I would have gotten whatever the parts guy recomended. That can be hit or miss. I'll probably pick up both sets and use the stock unless I have a problem like Whaler. Any other nuggets of wisdom?

 

where is the best price for the d&d fatcat setup?

 

Yeah I wanna know that answer too....

this Thunderheader may be getting pulled if I cant get it tuned properly.
Alll the tuners around here say its a pain in the **** to tune that pipe and that it is basically "a drag pipe"

Anyhow....just browsing and hope for that best price link....
