Heck, I didn't even do a full exhaust. I just did the SE Nightstick slip on but have tweeked it with an open end cap and down to 5 disks. I have a K&N intake and a FuelMoto tuned PCV with some slight tweeking for decel popping. This darn thing will spin the rear tire going into second gear if I'm gettin' on it.
That's a sharp looking ride, great work.

Taking Fri off of work. Three nice days for riding and a Demo Day event to hit. Going to be a great weekend. I plan on trying a 2016 LR, LR S, and a Roadster. Hope to get in several rides on the LR S. May even try a Road King even though I will never be getting a bagger.

Will do. I have never driven a bagger and I have been riding 38 years. I never got into touring. But who knows, I could take a Road King for a ride and be seduced. Unlikely but anything can happen.

Having owned four baggers...........two Electra Glides, a Road King, and lastly, a Street Glide, I now own a Low Rider. I've owned three dynas, and I just keep coming back to them. The 2011 Super Glide Custom I owned is my all time favorite bike, wish I'd kept it.
The baggers I owned got very boring to ride, and instead of enjoying being on a motorcycle, they just felt like a "tool" to use to haul things. Just like a car, really. They're extremely awkward and heavy compared to a dyna, and unless I was going to the store, or on a trip, I found myself just leaving the bike in the garage. Traded my Street Glide back in for my Low Rider, and put the "fun" back into riding. Everyone that says "you'll eventually end up on a bagger", or that "once you ride a bagger you'll never go back", are wrong, at least in my case. I pay cash for my bikes, can afford ANY bike I want, and I got RID of my baggers for a dyna!
You may ride one and love it, but if you're like me, after awhile, you'll find that baggers are nothing more than a two wheeled mini-van, and you'll be back on a dyna. If I need a windshield, a radio, CD player, GPS system, heated grips, cruise control, bags, trunk, etc., I'll just take the car.
