Default New Road Glide Special Owner...

I'm waiting to pick my new Toy....and I'm curious to know if going with Vance and Hines power duals with CFR mufflers is a good choice?...I also had a screaming eagle tuner and breather installed...

If ya like the noise and don't care about performance, then yes. If you care about performance, then no.

i would recommend the dresser true duals over the power duals. A lot of people have had clearance issues with the power duals and scraping the muffler can cause the rear tire to lose traction.

Congrats on the new bike! As far as your exhaust choice goes, if you are happy then its a good choice. CFR's Are loved for their sound but not their ability to make power. The Power Duals are a good pipe and should help in the power dept. Just ride it and see what you think. I was pretty impressed with the power of my RG in the stock form.
