Looking forward to my Barracuda Silver Low rider to come in a few weeks.
Other than some comfort and function things (cruise, highway pegs, small detachable shield) i may just leave this one (and my '18 RG) stock for two years.
Might maybe want to change the bars - but I'll give it a thousand miles before I decide. If so, i would appreciate any advice on how much rise I can go with before having to change anything else.
Pic's when you get it! Many don't seem to like the stock bars, let us know what you think.
I put 10" mini-apes on mine. Electrical harnesses were ok. I *could* have stayed with the stock upper clutch cable and brake line but .decided to go 2" over on each so I could go back to the factory routing.

I'm still thinking about the Rinehart 3-1/2" 2-1 exhaust for 2018+ softail.
Instead of obsessing about the last FT LB of torque, I also want the pipes to look good. I like that both header pipes don't route forward around the cam cone. They open up the view of the engine and make room for a larger air cleaner cover.
I'd like to learn more about this exhaust but don't see anybody here running it. Before jumping in I'd check with Fuel Moto to see what they think bout this exhaust on a bike with a torque type cam and 107" motor.
Anybody know anything about this exhaust... anything?
Thanks,

The other one I've had my eye on is the Cobra Diablo which is routed like that Reinhart. Seen them for only $500 shipped on ebay. No experience, but I recall at least one member here is running the Cobras/
Its definitely a good looking pipe. My only concern is I had less then positive experience with their slip ones. Very loud droaning at highway speeds made them uncomfortable. Of course this isn’t the same setup, so I’d be curious to hear what you think, if you get one of course.

We'll see.
Another exhaust note: I bought (used) the RCX 3-1/2" slip-ons that were floating around here for my nephew's Low Rider. It is a straight through design baffle with a bolt installed at the front for some back pressure. They have a real nice sound and from the short ride I took don't kill the bottom end. These would be a good idea for a less expensive stage II using the stock head pipe.

Just found this Matt Laidlaw youtube video with a bunch of pipes, including a stage IV Low rider running the Cobra, and other bikes with Bassani, 2 Brothers, ...

Don't know what to make of the videos though - audio fidelity is too poor to judge. Of these, I kind of like the stock sound best! LOL
Some loud pipes, the Cobra probably did not have a baffle installed.
