Default Performance mod ... thanks for the help!

Finally pulled the trigger with V & H slip ons, SE Stage 1 breather and download for the 12 FatBoy. Made the decision based on the tons of info on here. Ya'll helped and didn't know it! Was also able to talk intelligently to the dealer about the FatBoy front tire decel wobble (fall away) issue and get it resolved. Thanks for all the help!

BTW ... asked my dealer about aftermarket performance paks/downloads. They said it would void any warranty and could tell from running diag's on the ECM if something had been installed then removed before bringing in for service.

They will only void the warranty if proven to be the cause of the failure.

First time U have to replace the SE filter, I'd suggest paying a little more and get a REAL K&N washable lifetime filter. then U'll never have to buy another one.
