(its epa & warranty compliant) I also got rid of the plastic intake while I was there. You can get the SE-55mm (aluminum) or the 64 with TB. Both can be seen on Harley's site under screaming eagle parts. The dealership dyno tuned it; 116 HP using the SE tuner so that it stayed warranty complaint. As to the windshield just get Harley's optional taller windshield and have it professionally tinted. 36" inseam here so I am a big fan of the forward controls. Now put some miles on it!

Thanks brother! Appreciate the info. Not sure I want to bother with a small increase in power for a cam, as if I am not mistaken the cam in the ST is almost the same as the torque cam?? I am ok with slip ons for now, especially these tab ones. Really loving them. Enjoy the riding while we can!

Hey man. It is the Saddleman Explorer seat. My wife and son love it so far! Way more seat room than the usual suspects! Not too many miles on it yet but will keep at it!

Well you mentioned sound and getting some chop or engine idle sound. A nice idle sound and power you don't get without a cam. The 498 cam and Streetmaster pipe can do it and without voiding warranty. FWIW the 498 is at least a good two steps up from the ST or Torque cam. Pretty sure 116 would be at least 20 HP at the wheel more than what it makes now plus more range. You would feel that. Slip ons generally only buy sound most of which is under load. Don't get me wrong if you are happy with it for your bike I am happy with it. Just was showing a path to get what you said you wanted. The order parts with warranty & discount 60 day window evaporates quickly. Enjoy the ride.

You picked a helluva bike for your first Harley and a whopping step up from a small Honda. . Congratulations!

Thank you! I appreciate the info. I don't know what I don't know.
