just finished fuelmoto stave 1 install.
Breaking in the pipes and the bike sounds great!
All in all is was manageable job for a rookie like me. Once I got over the initial jitters of taking apart my new Ultra Limited, (remember my "best way to remove heat shields?" Question?) It went well. I did have to go to the dealer because I destroyed the gaskitt between the pipes and the cross over pipe to the left pipe. That was a $30 fix that was well worth it.
Im headed out into the Rockies tomorrow and look forward to NO pinging and a great running bike!
...and I do wonder about the header gaskitt install. That seemed to FO well but was a little awkward getting the collars seated. How would I tell if I didnt get a good seal and they end up leaking? I'm really noticing every new sound now and trying to be aware of problems.

Congratulations on the install. I was a little hesitant to do it myself but it all went well. I had the same problem with the crossover gasket. I am not sure what the secret is to being able to get that apart and reuse the gasket, but I am just glad they had one in stock when I needed it. I would recommend anyone doing the install to just get one in advance and have it on hand. Enjoy the ride.
