Well I'm running True duals and I did a have power increase after installing them. I also run SERT and the one thing I will say is that the Rineharts were a real bear to tune. In the end I ended up with 69HP and 95Flbs of torque. It took a lot of effort to get there. I would not buy Rineharts again.

As far as torque with true duals. I believe they just relocate the max touque in the curve. They will for sure help with the heat issue.

When in doubt, dyno it out.
The loss of torque with the true duals is negligible, especially with all the other upgrades you'll be doing (cam's & big bore). Get the true duals if you like'em. They look and sound sharp.
Have your bike dyno'd before & after and I guarantee you'll be pleased with the end results.

Yes I have heard that, and appreciate you sharing it. Couple things with Paradise, its my second bikepurchase over there and they treat me like gold. But the biggest consideration is I had my mind set to buy an 08 SG for months before they hit the dealers. So inventory coming in was a big consideration to match what I was looking for. But I ended up with one of the first 08 SG to hit Portland. In Crimson Red. I got it for MSRP and given my happiness with the family over there they are worth a fewextrabucks to me. I also had a trade whichwas the firstbikeI bought from them. Theydid meright.

RE: Here's what the dealer said!
FX4: Is the 69 hp in your post a typo???? My '04 EG bone stock 88 with Rinehart TD's, SE a/c, and a TVII for fuel management made 74 hp. And to say that it "took a lot of time" to get to 69 hp is very surprising. Either it's a typo, the guy tuning the bike blew the tune, or you have engine problems, IMHO.

Skip the duals and go with the 2-1. Especially if you are going to get into the motor down the road.
I had the fullBassani system with the powercurve and reverse megaphonesfor a year. They work and sound good, but not as good as a well tuned D&D Fatcat. I have seen several ghost pipes with this setup around here. They look real good.
Take a look at my pic below.....tell me that is not one bea-uuuute of a pipe!!!
Good luck.

RE: Here's what the dealer said!
Has anyone actually had the 103 kit installed on a 2008 yet? I bought my SG over a month ago and paid for the 103 kit when I bought it. After reading here today, I called my dealer and asked if they had the kit or if it has been release yet. I got conflicting answers. Parts department says the part number is active but they don't handle parts sold with the bike. Of course the salesman that I bought my bike from is off today, so I can't quiz him. But there is still an open order on the accessories I bought and paid for. Everything else seems to be there except for the 103 kit.

RE: Here's what the dealer said!
Interestingly, I called the sales manager at another dealer and he said that adding the SERT voids the warranty! He said it is flagged by the moco as one of those items that although a screaming eagle, it's made for racing performance??
Listening to the various dealers differing answers not only makes my head spin, but makes it VERY difficult to trust anything they say.
