"asking strangers on the internet"!!?? The dude's on a HARLEY FORUM, ya trollazz bitch. Members here should be free to ask questions/advice without being attacked! I know I will NOT be kowtowed or trolled. You two oughtta grow the f up.

I'm not impressed with the results so far, I lost a good deal of torque after my exhaust upgrade, which is to be expected, after auto tune the bike doesn't idle smooth, it fluctuates a bit in rpm. And it is quieter after completing the auto tune. I Wanted my bike loud. I'm a bit frustrated. Any advice?
I got the exact same bike w/exact same setup but for my air cleaner is an Arlen Ness Monster sucker. Threw in a 460 cam & she's a beast! Love the SVT Boneshakers!!

Beautiful ride, ,my man! That color is like a deep red/burgundy, eh? I have a 2019 in midnight blue myself. I'm running an Arlen Ness deep cut monster sucker breather with Vance & Hines power duals, SVT Boneshaker extreme slipons and a Fuelpak3. Couldn't be happier, but do need a cam. Thinking on the 460 some guys mentioned here. Just finished putting KST Kustoms 14" Spearhead 1 1/2" bars on it, along with a bunch of other cosmetic goodies. Plus the Saddlemen Road Sofa LS extended reach heated seat. Saw somebody here say "IT NEVER ENDS". I'm finding out that's true! Last bike a new 2015 Road King and I loved it, but this Special is fuggen' AMAZING! I am deeply in love with my machine. Harley knocked it WAY outta da park with this 114. Ride is more comfortable, handling is superb and the power is there too. I can't figure out how they made it way more comfy than my '15 Road King even with the lo profile tires, but they damned sure did! Got er all modded up over the long shitty winter here in southern Maine. And the next 7 days look like crap as well!! I can't wait to get on it & ride! Will begin posting pics. Just trying to figure out how. Any tips for me there? Jon

I used Photobucket when it was free but now they charge. Have started using Imgur.com. Once your images are there you can use the images in a variety of different ways and it's free.
