Expedited shipping 
Haha
The instructions have pictures printed by laserjet so they look like a big black blob. Here's a great video that tells you everything you need to know, what they leave out is an included spacer for your right foot
board. They don't include anti seize or loctite (blue).
The rear 02 sensor is easy to unplug and get off but the front sensor is in an awkward location, I didn't even unplug it, I just unscrewed it and left it dangling and twisted it backwards prior to reinstalling it on the new header. I just didn't want to cut every wire loom zip tie for a single O2 sensor. Also, start with the front header first, not the rear as shown in the video.
Post up a pic when you're done. I suspect after all said and done about 4 hours including uploading a new map and putting away all your tools.

Should we expect a full length video of the install? 
I know you will at least have one of the sound after the install. A couple people keep asking me if I feel a seat of the pants difference and honestly I don't.
It just feels more like an HD than before.
I'll check back in when I get time.
Cheers

- I can actually hear some nice sounds from the left side of the bike
- Good torque and pull
- Deep exhaust note at idle and getting on it
- Super cool note on rev (sounds like a drag car)
- The instructions kind of suck
- Some shield adjustment was necessary (just one)
- The front pipe flange access is tight and limited
- I absolutely could not get the front to pop in without removing the brake pedal
- Absolutely DO NOT remove the brake pedal
- Again, DO NOT remove the brake pedal
Thanks for the tips!

We have the exact same bike, I didn't remove the brake pedal, in fact it never was an issue, how weird is that? I'm glad you like the pipe. I'm still missing the deep loud exhaust I'm waning for.
Next up, motor work.

I just ordered a 2018 street glide. Im being told that the stock exhaust is supposed to sound pretty decent. I have not heard one run yet so I dont know what it sounds like. I love the sound of the Rienhart, and heard they are easy to install. Im not sure if Ill keep the stock pipes or change them out. Does anyone have any advice?

Looks great. I went with the V&H PDs just because they were out first, if the Rinehart header was available then I might have went that route. Either way they look classy on your bike.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I tried from all angles, and it was 1/4" off and up against the pedal. I've installed a few systems in my day, but this thing was out to get me. It got done, and I'm happy with the results. That's all that matters.
