Added a few items to my low rider over the weekend. Added leather bags and turn signal relocate. Installed screaming Eagle air cleaner and slip on exhaust. Installed Andrews 48H cam. Had it Dyno tuned after.
Purchased the bags, air cleaner, cam, adjustable pushrods, pegs and seat from forum members. Sounds so much better ! Performance gain was adequate, about 20% improvement in torque. Converter is still in headpipe. Will most likely switch to a D&D fat cat at some point.
Man. I used to ride my lr everyday but I was laid off from my job. Bike sat for about a month, and now it runs like total ****. Exhaust pops and air cleaner puffs out smoke. Gotta go through her to get her acting right again...hopefully it's just bad gas
Sorry to hear about the job loss. Hope you land a new one quickly. Gas should not go that bad within a month. Wish you a speedy return to riding your LR.

20% increase is ok. Depends on the cam used I guess.
If you switch pipes, you’ll need to dyno tune all over again...

I was hoping for more. I didn't realize the cat was so restrictive. I didn't want to drill out the cat as it looked like it would leave a big empty cavity, which I assume would severely detune the pipe.
But it does feel better. I'm sure after a new pipe & tune I'll be even happier.
Yes, catcons do impede gas flow. It'll be interesting to find out what the effect of the D & D pipe has. I would think a stepped tube system would scavenge the best.

If you can you need to change out your whole system. The Cats are very restrictive and slip-ons only give you a better soumd. A 2-into-1 system will give you the most back pressure and the greatest increase in performance...
Been 7-8 days without any chance to ride. Looking forward to the upcoming week as the rain goes away. Need to run my tank out before filling up and adding some Stabil.
Put the bike back together and gassed it up. Still have to redo froint fender and mount the fairing but overall pleased with the turnout for first bike to spray.
Got the Supertrapp on, Bassani is now with a friend who is enjoying it on his new-to-him dyna...
Got it on Wednesday night, then proceeded to be sick as a dog...felt good enough yesterday to get out for a bit of a rip. Quiet at idle but has a nice roar when you roll on the throttle, no more bracket clearance issues like I had with the Bassani and my taller shocks. Bike feels a little more responsive, seems like the power curve might have smoothed out a bit, this is all of course according to the butt-dyno...overall I'm very happy with it.
