What exhaust did you end up with? The factory exhaust on this bike actually sounds pretty decent but of course not nearly loud enough!

That was my conclusion as well. I had to have two front disc brakes. LR. Check. 103 TC with Stage 1 is a great motor. Check. I do most of my cruising at 65-75 in 6th turning 2700 to 2800 RPM.

I got a set of factory take off head pipes for older dyna. A brand new set of screaming eagle II's I bought in 2006. I bought a second set because HD was closing them out.

I get roughly 8-9 MPG better with the 103 than than the 88...cruisin' at 60 in the high gear, I think I'm turning around 2,500 RPM...

I am getting 45-46 MPG commuting to work, My commute is 42 miles each way. If I really rode with a mind towards getting the best possible MPG, I would not be surprised if I could get close to 50 MPG.

I get about 45-46 MPG generally and when I'm not "hot *******" it. I get 48-50 MPG out of my 900 lb. Bagger when I'm on the highway, in 6th gear at about 70 MPH. Just riding around I get about 38 MPG out of the big bike...

Had the day off today and was able to go for a ride after I got my two Camaros out of storage. All I have been doing today is driving and riding. Put 80 miles on the LR. Now approaching 33300 miles. Saw a lot of other guys out riding as well.

It will be dry and mid 60s Monday and Tuesday. I'm riding with a friend tomorrow, and heading to work Tues for a couple hours to check the IT equipment. I haven't been there in 3 weeks. I've never been away from work for more than a week in the last 33 years.
