Excellent job on that custom red paint. I think I like the tank best when it is a solid color without a HD badge or graphic on it.

Good work! I think a discreet HD badge of some type might break it up a tad, and really make that paint pop!

Interesting how the LR sold in England has the better exhaust than the one sold in the USA. However, the one sold in England has the standard 103 motor that the 2014-15 LRs. Guessing that the 103 HO is not allowed in Europe due to emissions issues?

What makes the "2 into 2" exhaust better?

Yes, this IS bait...

I had my ignition switch replaced a bit back. Went to start it today and the whole housing is loose and a goose. The spot welds holding the backing plate popped. I recall another having this same issue. Removed the plastic cover, vice gripped the plate to the bracket, drilled 4 5/32" holes and secured it with pop rivets. It isn't going anywhere now!! I swear, this ignition switch-location and durability-are a complete joke.

I didn't see where anyone said it was better, myself and others like the look of it though.

As for power it actually makes less power in most situations than a 2 into 1 system.
