I’ll invert mine now. Also, are you planning on adding an exhaust? I think I will order the 2brothers stainless from Revzilla. Will you be adding a tuner as well? Just wondering what others are gonna do. I think I may add the exhaust but not add a tuner until I add an intake. Does anyone know what would happen if I add the exhaust without tuning?

You don't need to add an intake - the existing one on the 114" FB is high flow already. You MAY want to add a K&N filter element to get more air flow, but the jury is still out on that one....

So if you do change the exhaust, you will need a tuner or the bike will probably be running too lean. I would certainly use on on my bike.

Personally, I am still on the fence about the exhaust. I like the 2bros stainless and also RB Racing has a sweet Pro Stock Challenge Race Cat (basically their Pro Stock full race pipe, but with a zero restriction cat and a baffle to tone it down a bit).

But I am also interested in just a set of slip ons. I have decided against the HD street Cannons, but both S&S and Rinehart should have their Fat Bob slip ons available in November....

I had the same problem at first but I found I was able to fix it by simply adjusting the mount angle. Still not perfect because you have to look down to see them, but much better than staring at my shoulders.

I did that but there is a company called Krator that has mirror extensions you can use to flip the Im pretty sure you can use them to extend the mirror upward too

Recently installed 2 brothers exhaust with no tuner. Was gonna wait until January when the tuners come out for my bike. Was expecting her to pop on decelerations but she ran great. Would a tuner still be needed? Don’t know now.

Fixed it for ya!

Nice bike love the 2bros, but as cvaria always says something’s wrong with the sound on these photos!
I would recommend a tuner as HD’s come lean from the factory EPA and all that plus you can probably get it to run better anyway, I believe that the dynojet power vision has 2018 compatibility since the M8 has been out for a while now. Check fuelmoto.com
