modded and installed a 08+ touring brake peddle on my 02 RK very pleased with it! the stock brake peddle was just not easy for me to use in a fast stop situation really uncomfortable. was pretty simple the newer peddle had a tab welded on the back side i cut it off and drilled a hole once i figured out the peddle height $20 for a used peddle and about an hours time

Installed V&H PowerDuals, 3" Fishtails and auto tuned with Power Vision. Decided I'd move to this exhaust after accidentally removing part of my ceramic coating during Sturgis at the local spray wash place... Oh well, chrome is more durable and better looking IMO for exhausts anyway.
Anyone have any tips for possible baffle upgrade to these mufflers? I like em but they barely have any compression at idle compared to many others which seems to have robbed them of some performance I suspect. Wondering if any other baffles might help with that.
Also I am wondering out loud why an exhaust company sends the cork style gaskets vs. the SE crush style which seem to seal better? Pretty sure I have a slight exhaust leak in one or both cylinders and didnt have that at all with the SE style gaskets.
I dig the look of the power duals but they are low with the air shocks all the way down. still has the old school vibe even with a 2-1-2 on the right side.
fishtails are just long enough

xmen-9c, checkout BCT (Big City Thunder) quiet baffles or Smartpartz quiet baffles, these will return your low end torque. An easy and cheaper way is to go with the D&K Custom TTI (Thunder torque inserts) they are $25 and will help low end torque and retain the decibels. These will mount just in front of the seam where tips are bolted to the muffler body.

Installed a Smart Siren II on the Road King. I know I could have done the Radio Shack hack, but this took about five minutes, it has a battery backup and looks smooth so worth the $95 for me.

Fairing for Paint
Took the Fairing and speakers etc for paint, cannot wait for the result.
While I was at the painters, I asked about getting the helmet in the same as it was the wrong colour when I purchased it from the States.
