Why do you type in CAPS? It's most annoying. It's like you're trying to shout at people.

I have a S&S Super "E" on my 06 FXSTS and love it. I did spend the extra $ and had it dyno tuned. Its well worth it.

Mind if I ask how much the dyno tuning was?

Have the Mikuni 42-18. Put it on, set it, forget it. Best deal was from Eastern Performance Cycles.
It's a little cold-blooded, but, other than that, it's been great.
