Fuel Moto "Power Package"
Well, I got my fuel moto stuff on friday. It went on in about four hours. I am totally happy with the performance and sound. Not to loud, but not to quiet. It woke up my road king alot. I have only been bout 40 miles on it so far, but from what I can tell, I think my opinion will stay the same. For the money, and not having to experiment alot, its about the best bolt-on stuff you can do. Of course thats just my opinion, and I am a happy camper now. For some reason, I'm on the throttle alot more 
The only thing I may suggest is getting new exhaust clamps before bolting up the slip-ons, the originals seemed like they were stripping abit, but they held and I have a good seal. I suspect when and if I have to take them off again (new tire, maintenance, etc, etc) they may strip.
So, after about three beers and a coupla shots, viola (thats walaaa for us rednecks), instant happiness. To bad its pouring cats and dogs today, maybe tomorrow.
So, if you're thinkin' about them (PCIII, K&N, and Fuel Moto Rush) I would say you will be happy.
Now I'm waiting for my sons roush mustang body kit to be done getting painted, should be tomorrow, thats the next project. He went a little crazy ordering stuff for his mustang while deployed. But he's happy so far, we put on flowmasters, and a K&N cold air set-up, nice sound and performance from that also.
Have a great Happy New Year gang.
Keep it between the ditches!

It was 749.00 with the Fuel Moto Rush's, or 699.00 for the package with the regular Rush's. But free shipping, which I would expect for that amount of money.

If you don't mind me asking, what did the kit set you back?

Yo, Glebo! I was thinking of a V&H fuel pack, a K& N high flow filter and V%H standard slip ons. What made you go with your set up?
I haven’t committed yet so I’m still pickin’ noses and brains.
PS: I don’t mean to tell you what to do but stay the f**k off your bike after you imbibe, Bro. Don’t want a rider IN the ditches :-).

RE: Fuel Moto "Power Package"
I bought a similar package from Fuel Moto last summer.........A whole new bike, can ride in 6th gear down to 60MPH, bike runs so much cooler, lot better throttle response & doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner anymore. Went w/ the Suppertrapps instead of the Rushs, little quieter, but plenty loud for me.
Retighened the clamps after 1000 miles on the new slip-ons........only took about 1/4 turn.

RE: Fuel Moto "Power Package"
You all know me and my praise for the Fuelmotousa.com "kit" recently released for us guys who own '07-08 touring bikes.
I cannot say enuff good stuff about it!
In fact, Jamie himself called me at home today to ask if I was pleased with my purchase....."Well, YEAH!" I replied!
I can easily loft the front wheel hitting second or get a loud/long chirp if lacking traction. I am totally pleased with Jamie's handcrafted and tuned exhaust and the rest of the "kit". That is the absolute best 750 bucks I ever spent on any automotive product.
I just now sent him (Jamie@fuelmotousa.com) an email requesting he outfit my Sportster in same fashion. I trust fuelmoto's talentand experience so much I told him to ship whatever he thought would work on my sporty and just bill my debit card.
I dare all here to find anyone who do you better than fuelmoto.

RE: Fuel Moto "Power Package"
I just installed my Fuelmoto setup today on my 08 RKC. Everything pretty much went on easily and fairly quickly. I do sympathize with the guys with ABS since there is much less space for the PClll behind the side cover. Working with the large, stiff ECU cables was a PITA. The sound of the mufflers is about what I was hoping for, a bit louder when on the throttle, but nearly as quiet as stock at cruise. The only thing I will have to work out is the poppong on decel. I think a slight tweaking of the fuel map will cure it. (according to some other members here) I don't know how to go about it since I don't have a laptop and am not real computer savvy, but I'll figure it out. I noticed a very slight sluggishness right off idle while blipping the throttle, but the bike pulls away from a stop smoother than before and low end power is definitely better. I don't have a tach, but probably from takeoff to about 3000 RPM or so. The bike seems to cruise smoother also. I definitely noticed the lack of heat while riding in town also. All in all, I'm happy with this setup and would recommend it. I'll probably get the PClll dialed in better when I find a good dyno guy that knows PCllls. I could live with it the way it is, but I know it can be even better.
I only had two installation snafus. The first was when installing the SE A/C, I was nearly finished and was digging in the parts bag for the three small filter screws and I noticed a breather o ring. Holy*&%^$%#, I must have have left one (of the four) off. Took the whole thing apart again only to find that they gave me an extra.
The second was with one of the Rush mufflers. The mounting bosses were ever so slightly too close together to bolt the bracket on. Had to elongate one hole with a round file about 1/8 inch. After this job, I could probably do it again in an hour.
