WTF?

Time for a new dealer!

But this may not be possible or practical for you. If you are willing and able to shop around, ask questions on here and of your dealer or local indy, and willing to wrench a liitle yourself, you can easily do a stage 1 setup on your own and save some cash. If I had $2100 to blow on stage 1, I would be getting a system like a Fatcat/TMAT/BigSucker, do my own labor, no tune, and still be $500 ahead of what yourdealer is quoting you.But you can also go with any slip on/AC/fuel management combo you like and still get good bang for the buck.
Last weekend, I put on the Fuel Moto Custom Baffled Rush slip ons, PCIII loaded with his custom dyno'd map, and a K&N RK-3909 AC kit. It all cost me $749 shipped to my door and I had it installed in 3hrs. I absolutely love it. Excelent performance, sound, quality and affordability. Fuel Moto customer service is excellent and the product is double warrranteed from FM. There are a lot of write ups on here about it. Check it out and good luck.
If you're just looking for the "Harley sound" you can do any slip on you want, without having to do AC and or re-map. Anything more than slip ons, you have to do the whole stage 1. But, if you do slip ons only, I highly recomend the Rush slip ons. You can come back later and add the PCIII/AC and the custom baffles will fit in these for $50 more. But, I would not do this. Why? These bikes run hot already. Good to cool them down. Why pay $300 just for sound when you can also get good performance for reletively not much more.

RE: WTF?
I purchased a set of Kerker slip ons from my dealer for about $360 + $100 for the end caps. They had a very nice Harley rumble. Not as loud as the Rineharts but closer to the V&H Ovals. Fit and finish were great. They are made by the same folks that make Supertrapp. Not everyone has them so you may need to ask around.

RE: WTF?
Dude. Get a set of slip ons, I like RUSH. Got mine on ebay for bout 225. simple to put on. You don't have to do anything else to the bike if you go with 2" or smaller baffles. The sound is there! I like mine and I have the standard/quiet version. My bro in law thinks they're loud. I put the SEAC and FP on mine to cool it down a little. Let it breathe more and more fuel. Don't really like the idea of running "lean" at all.

RE: WTF?
Bro, Get your ride to the house. Leave that other stuff at the dealer and do some research. Start on this forum. I don't think you'll find more expertise and help any where. You can do most of the labor yourself later after you make an informed decision.

I would listen to the great advice you get on this forum. I do and it has yet to fail me. Hell, my dealer had me burn in my Rinehart T-D set up for a few miles and did a second dyno for free just to make sure I had the right set up. It's your bike, not the dealers, you do what you think is right. .02
