Default Winter Project #2!

Hi guys, me again. Project #1 finished, now for the second I wanted to do this winter. I really should wait a month or so to spread these out, but I can ask for opinions and suggestions NOW. After this, the bike is DONE.
2014 RK stage 1. I wanna put dual header on. Considered just de-catting, but I think the dual header looks nicer. What you guys running. I already have Cobra NH muffler's on it from my Stage1 upgrade, they will be used on the new header. Thanx in advance.

Looks pretty straight forward, easy job. Just don't gorilla the header flange bolts.

Running the V&H True Duels / Duals <- on mine ( Cross Thread Points ) , love the the sound , and I don't see much loss in power . Make sure you use the proper exhaust gaskets , and make sure you tighten to the correct torque spec and then re tighten after they cool off . Make sure you check your manual for the correct torque secs , I believe you tighten the top nut using only half the torque spec , then tighten the bottom nut to the full torque spec , then finish the top to the correct torque ... someone will correct me if I'm wrong .

Man , I love working on bikes , enjoy !

When I first got my King , I decatted the stock header and ran the oem slip ons , not loud enough , but ran much cooler . Later on , I picked up a set of SE Street Cannons and modified a set of Crusher Mellow Baffles to fit and then added the True Duels , perfect ... nice deep rumble and has a pretty good roar when you get on it . The NH slip ons are a good choice , probably what I would have gone with if I hadn't have succeeded with the SE mod .
