My passenger has to ride with her leg out to keep from getting 2nd degree burns. Call me what you will, but a bike with 8000 miles shouldn't need to have $2800 worth of work within the first year. It should come from the manufacturer ready to ride.... not needing a different catalytic converter and headers. Oh and you think Harley is paying for the new headers?? Or the tuner??
