I had motopro45 on my 2017 cvo limited and put almost 30k miles on them. I was surprised how well my bike was running when I installed them in 2017 and they really came into their own when I did the 131 upgrade with the new Harley headers. After 4 years, they had no blemishes on the finish and looked like the day I them them on. I think they are only about $50 more than the dbx45 and I highly recommend them.

Yes sir, you may be able to haggle with a few of them on price but for the most part its msrp with free install. When I bought my Full Khrome Werks system there last year I was able to talk a few bucks off but it wasnt easy! LoL

You’re not going to get a great deal in Daytona. Maybe get $50.00 off with free install. I have the 4.5” Rineharts and did lose a lot of low end torque. I installed FuelMoto tuneable baffles and got that torque back.

Bought my RKS with the Mototpro 45 installed along with the header. Added the the DBX baffles last year. Really like the sound and does feel like it has more torque now. Would go with the DBX if I were starting fresh.

This is a really interesting an informative thread as I have a pair of the 4.5" DBX45's on order for my new 2020 SGS. Can't wait for them to come in and get them installed. Don't like the sound of the low end torque loss though.

I added the motopro45's last year and now 6K miles later they have mellowed out. I may go in a add some packing to the baffles and possibly a Thunder Torque insert for a deeper sound and add some back pressure.

WoW. Torque loss. I guess I don't miss it. I rode my bike stock for a test ride. I took delivery with the DBX40s installed. The dealer threw them in for free !!! Ok you know nothing is really free at the HD dealership. But I like the sound. I only put 140 miles on the bike since I got it on Tuesday. I'm about to put some more break in miles in a few minutes.
Baffles sound like a nice solution to a problem I'm not sure I have but hey, I'VE ONLY BEGUN SPENDING MONEY !!! right?
