Default Created a monster!!

Brought my 2014 SGS in for it's 1K service this weekend and while it was there, I had them install Rinehart Slimline headers, a Screaming Agitator A/C, and a S/E Pro Race Tuner, to go along with the 4" Rinehart slip-ons that I already had on the bike.

Holy cow! The bike is SO MUCH LOUDER now with an ominous, ground-shaking rumble that set-off car alarms parked on the street as I rode home. i didn't think that it was going to turn out quite this loud. In fact, it drew a crowd at the dealership when they started it up to show me how it came out, and the parts guy even commented that he felt the building shake while they were maping the tuner.

So far-so good with the tune they installed, but I only just rode it home yesterday for about 12 miles. However, on this short trip, I did not experience any pops or hesitation so maybe they got it right. I hope so!

Also, the Agitator A/C that I had them put on comes in contact with my leg now, pushing it our from the tank just below the knee which feels very strange to me, and it also gets in the way when I reach for the foot brake. I guess that I will have to get used to it. Any suggestions/comments on this?

Just wanted to put out a warning to those of you looking to do a similar upgrade.......be prepared to be the center of attention when you ride your bike down the street, as it will definitely turn heads! (and probably **** off a few people in the process :-p

Also be prepared for ringing in the ears as you try to fall asleep.

I put on the Agitator A/C as well with a Stage I download and Street Cannons. Floorboard extensions helped a lot and are an easy install.

Vtwingoodies makes a first-rate kit. I have had their product on my last 5 Harleys.

I hear member here Soos makes a mighty fine one also.

If I am not mistaken, they are both sponsors.
