I would like to go with a tru-dual set up. Any recomendations on a set-up that will really bark. I want a fairly loud exhaust with a deep tone. I want the tru-duals sue to the fact that with some sort of tuner they can set-up each cyclinder by itself for optimal performance and then I want the Football style air cleaner with the open back. I am open for suggestions. I am thinking either reinharts or bub 7's I know they are about one is the same but any opnions either way?

i really like a good custom paint on a bike. It adds to your personality. However, be prepaired for the cost of this. It is not cheap. If you have send/ship your tins off that alone will cost more than you think. I had a custom pain put on one of my other bikes 2 years ago. With shipping and paint it ended up costing $3500. I did have 7 murals added. I am very happy with the appearance of the bike. It will be in a bike magazine in the upcomming few months
I vote for exhaust. Instant gratification.
It doesn't matter which way you go you will be happy

I don't like the skimpy look of the big shots. They just don't match the beefy bike personality.

Performance set up first - check out the Fuelmoto power pack with custom baffleRush slipons, K&N AC and the PCIII custom map. The whole package is about the same cost as the RH TD's by themselves.

Wheels next. Not 21' I would go with a 18" on both ends. It really sets the bike off.

Paint....nahhhh. That Black Cherry Pearl is beautiful in the sun. Once you got some performance going on. All that chrome from the new wheels and such will really make the bike pop.

Also, something I did not mention above...I noticed you have an '07. You might want to also consider IDS (if yo don't already have it) when you get that check. I'm thinking it would be a great compliment to any performance pkg. Or, if you decide to go with new wheels and tires, what better time to instal it? If you don't already have it of course. I think Zanotti's sells the HD IDS kit for about $200.00
