going to wait and see about the heat before i put a couple grand down on true duals, mosnter ovals and the rest of stage 1. the cam discussions intrigue me also. just want to fend all that off before i actually ride for a while,

came from an 03 and it is an unbelievable difference.

Ralph, you're nuts! I wouldn't take my bike on a salted road. You can't get it clean enough to remove all that salt. I've seen vehicles literally disintegrate from being driven on salted roads. That's why there is nothing over 10 years old in Utah. And I just though everyone was rich. They just don't last that long in the salty environment. Nice bike!

I've got the blue over black version. Saturday I put the "power package" from Fuel Moto on. My last 3 harleys have had V&H true duals so I was hoping I didn't make a mistake. I didn't, the look and sound is freakin' fantastic. Nice low rumble, no raspy at all. The factory headpipe with the catalyzers is a be-atch for heat. Strap a few hot dogs on your right ankle and you can cook lunch at a red light.

I was checking into different options before purchasing, for not far over a grand I got the head pipe, mufflers, stage one AC and pre-programmed Power Commander V with free shipping and no tax. Yay for me.

Exactly what I'm doin to mine when I get it.Then pipes, cams.....it never ends
