crazy!

I think I’m gonna invest in audio and exhaust. My cheap boss speakers finally shitted the bed. And I want to get my lower rpm torque back. I’ve enjoyed a sound of my tab zombies, but now I want some of the performance back. Perhaps, swap to thunderheader in the future. Fat front tire kit is also in the list. This mods journey never ends lol

It IS crazy. We talking about the same sissy bar setup here? Having a hard time justifying the cost, but damn it's sexy! I use Samsung earbuds for all my audio. Cuts out the wind & sounds great!! Off my phone. I may have to dump my Boneshakers this year too, after this cam upgrade I did. Gonna see how it tunes out with the Powervision.
Rock on!

I don’t know if my friend’s Excalibur is 22” or 16”, but he told me it was around $450 with pad.

I spoke to Tab and they advised to replace one side with their 2.5” louvered baffle which I did, but not really felt a difference in low end response. Sound has changed a bit, RH has gotten quieter of course, but it is also deeper now, sound wise I kind of like it. But I spoke to my Harley shop people that I trust and they recommended to go with thunderheader to compliment my 468 cam. Thunderheader is also supposed to have the same level of loudness as zombies. But that **** is pricey, around 2k with ghost pipe and I will need a re-tune/dyno.

Probably a 16" sissybar. The 22" starts at $400 and only goes up from there if you go up in diameter or add a pad.

I don't think the Thunderheader 2 into 1 is going to be doing you any favors for low end torque. You need something more restrictive than that. Try putting some dB killers in your Zombies first. That'll probably give you the pick up you're looking for, and it'll be a lot cheaper.

Would be GREAT if you could call him for me & ask. I'd like to know what & HOW he got for $450.00 and when. Also if any shipping charge. I added a diamond stitched black pad and bar is 1 1/2" thick. There's another brand out there a lot cheaper but I don't like the looks of the quality.
Also..I HIGHLY recommend you call FuelMoto about your problem. They're super helpful but will prob try to sell you their muffler setup, but it's all good. They'll tell you what you need to know to get best performance. I'm sure you don't have to spend $2K to get there...that I know!
Pls keep me posted on what you end up with. My 114 Special goes to the DYNO today from the Harley shop after the 22X-E upgrade. They put my Legend Revo A shocks on yesterday as well, after I carried em over to them..)

My new 2020 RKS was delivered on Christmas eve. Got into an accident and totaled the 2019 at the end of October. A couple of fractures here and there, but I'm doing fine. I consider it a 10,000 mile test ride.

I had the dealer do different bars this time around. 16" F47 Signature bars, Rinehart 4.5in DBX45 slip-ons, and a standard road king windshield with black hardware. I also just ordered a Saddlemen Step-up seat with silver stitching.

Looking good bro! Harley's BEST model, IMHO! You'll love the Saddlemen seat. I got the Road Sofa LS extended heated. I also totaled my 2015 Road King 103 a year ago last August, few broke ribs, broke left hand & assorted other welts, bruises & hematomas. One on my left outer thigh just now completely disappeared!! Kinda glad it happened, cuz it made me buy a new 2019 RK Special, a HUGE improvement over my '15 standard!! I LOVE my bike!!!

my friend got a 16” sissy bar. He said he ordered it online with a pad. But it took several weeks to get it. So I don’t know what the whole deal was, perhaps, they gave him a discount.

I love my Revo A’s. I might rebuild my forks with Axeo kit.

Are you sure you didn't have two of them in the cart? I know you didn't, but...

I looked around their website, unless I missed something I didn't see anything as expensive as you described, even with the custom stitching. That's a lot of money for an accessory but I'm looking forward to seeing it when you get it on the bike.
