Default FatBoy's First Upgrades
Just finished my first upgrades to my 2009 FatBoy. Installed Rinehart Crossbacks Flush Chrome exhaust, and a Roland Sands Design (RSD) Speed 5 breather. Tomorrow it goes to the shop for a new map using the SERT. I'll dyno it once the weather warms up in the spring.

This was my first time to wrench on a HD other than installing some chrome and my Fatty's first real upgrades. Everything went smooth and it was good to bend some wrenches again. The pipes sound great! Let me know what you think. Feedback?

Thanks to Dr V-Twin for the parts, recommendations, and the expertise!

Here are the before and after pix; I'll take some more on the next ride when the weather breaks.

Thanks everyone. Got the ecm mapped today and I'll dyno it later in the spring. The ride home after getting the map installed was a blast. I still have "perma grin" on my face. Wow did the bike come to life...got it done just in time cause the weather just changed again with rain and snow...that sucks!

FatBoy Brian...nice scoot. Looks like you have the nacelle. How do you like it? Is it HD or other?
