10 Model Harley FlhXXX Trike Help
I posted about 6 weeks ago when we bought the trike. Overall we like it but as many of you have posted about the heat is really bad and no power at high way speeds. I have a stage 1 download,thunderheader slip ons and high flow aircleaner. The trike gets 32mpg which is fair and good for a trike according to the post here. I have 1800 miles on it. Now my question! Where would you start first to get some of the heat taken care off. Maybe fuel moto or would you just get a set of true dual headpipes? Then a power comander and a set of woods cams. The woods cams is all I have ever run as they are strong. I run the T5 woods which is the stump puller cam as it has been called by some. I advance my cams 4 degrees to make them come on early and they seem to pull through the power band strong. Sorry for the long post but there's not a lot of trike posts so it gives you something to read LOL! Thanks all I lurk everyday on here. Kerry AKA KJTOYS

Well....you already have the AC and slipons...the factory download isnt whats needed..you need better fuel management and need to get rid of the cat in your headpipe since you have a 2010...so I would call Fuelmoto and get their headpipe for our Trikes and a PC V at a minimum..
Cam would also be a big help...they like the Woods TW6-6....bigger oil cooler etc.. those are options.

Just to add...You would have the option of tuning your trike with a TTS and the VTune software as well. Although most of our TG owners have gone with the PCV/auto and are happy you can achieve more with a TTS with less expense.
Another note, changing to TD's will leave low end torque on the garage floor. FM makes a replacement 2-1-2 that will not only get rid of the cat but keep those low end torque numbers in the bike.
Happy trails with what ever you choose...

Wish there was somewhere to dyno a trike around here.
