I have a two inch 2-1 Rush and though it was perfect new, it is now much louder
I know. That's what worries me. They're already damn loud (I like it, my neighbors probably won't.) I think I'm going to order up some 1.75" baffles. It's too bad though, the bike runs great with these pipes. After two solid autotunes on the PV, not a single pop on decal.

Woohoo!!! Picked up my bike, took a vacation day yesterday to go riding....almost got 200 miles in. What a dream ride, going from an 883L..who knew I was missing out on such an easy ride. Looking at new pipes, haven't decided yet. Leaning towards Vance and Hines Short Shots Staggered

Pipes are a personal choice, so go with what you like. But just so you know, the catalytic converters are in the mufflers. If you like the look of the stock pipes, slip-ons will open it up just as well as most aftermarket full system exhausts. It might save you some cash.
Keep us posted on your kids and experiences.

Ok I fibbed.....I took a "long" lunch today and went and got it. 60 mile ride home and the only thing that caught my attention was the seat, seems a bit hard but may break in after some time on it. I really like the 110 engine to.

Yes, the stock seat sucks. This is true with a lot of Harley's, although they have improved stock seats on several models. Unfortunately, the small thin seats in bobber styled bikes just don't cut it

Be advised, while I do love my spring seat from Mother Road Customs, their hardware is not the best design. Don't get me wrong, once installed it is strong and works well, but Lapera and even Harley-Davidson make mounts that install easier, and are easier to take off and on for work under the seat.
On the good side, MRC does excellent leather work and their seat shapes are very functional.
Also, although I find the seat very comfortable, it's not the soft surface that one would expect from a normal seat. Even with the gel/foam cushion, the surface is firm (not hard, but firm.) the comfort comes from a seat shape that fits my ****, and the springs that absorb the sharp suspension jolts.
