Last night I finally started the changes to my FXSTS-SE.
I had already modified the stock baffles, but I wasn't happy with the change.
- SO -
I installed the K&N filter element - You need to use both the stick-on rubber seal that comes with the filter and you also need to re-use the thickrubber gasket that isstuck on the stock element - for adequate clearance.
I installed RUSH slip-ons. Great mufflers, easy to install and they sound great.
It took me less than an hourto changethemufflers and I DID NOT remove the footrest or the muffler bracket from the bike.
I only needed a 7/16 socket (1/4"drive ratchet), a 7/16 open end wrench, and a 9/16 deep well socket (3/8" driveratchet).
The space behind the muffler bracket is limited, but up on the lift I had no problems - other than my XXL hands.
The Rush stock #to fitthe Screaming Eagle Springer is # 26401 (or 3 or 4 depending on what kind of ends)
I got the 2.00" baffles and they are plenty loud. The 2.25"onesmust sound like drag pipes.
The power difference was VERY noticable. Also very noticablenow isthe surging at low speed.
I will now have to take my bike into the dealer to have the 0903 "recall" or"Torque Smoothing Calibration"done to it to smooth out the low speed fuel delivery.
I HIGHLY recommend the Rush pipes. They only cost me about $250 and they fit great, sound great, and look great.
They are much better than any of the Screaming Eagle Slip-ons. And if you don't like the sound, for about $70 you can change the baffles to a different size.
Send me an email or PM if you have any questions - I'll try to post some pictures..
Since I have passed the 500mile break-in - this weekend I am changing to Mobil 1 in the engine, Mobil 1 gear lube in the trans, and B&M Synthetic Trick Shift in the primary.

sounds nice!

let me know how you make out with the fluid change.
I'm at that point now with my Deuce....

 

Those are the mufflers I will most likely go with as well. Can u please post pics of all angles? I thank you for all the info on the install and part numbers.

 

I will try to post those pics.
The stock number for the K&N air filter is HD-0800. My local Advance Auto ordered it for me - about $57.00
Oh yea, the Rush pipes parts numberwas listed asfitting a2007 Fat Boy or Deuce.
Since I called Rush last week, they have added SE Softail Springer info to those stock numbers intheir catalogue.
The slip-ons made for the 2007 Softail Deluxe will NOT fit.
The slip-ons made for Fat Boys 2006 and before will NOT fit.
The slip-ons made for Springers will not fit either.

My local H-D dealer ordered them for me.
The slip-ons are a little smaller than the stock mufflers, so the stock muffler heat shields don't fit snug - I left them off.
