Great color choice! I wish I had the abs too. If you ordered it all from FuelMoto I can tell you from my own experience that they are great people to do business with and your bike will run better than ever! I though my 08 ran pretty good till I did the total upgrade, but now it is awesome. Being the 08 I got the PC III instead of the V, but it really woke it up. I can't be more pleased with the bike and with the service I received from Jamie and FuelMoto.
I saved myself some wasted dollars on this forum with all the good advice from our fellow forum members. I would like to say thanks to all of you for the help. Joining this forum has been eye opening to say the least.
Got my PC V and Fuelmoto A/C on last week and finally got to go on a ride yesterday and it is a noticeable difference. I have the Rush 2.0's and it seemed to make them deeper and the bike runs much cooler. I am curious about the mileage since it is going to be hard to keep from twisting the throttle! Both the A/C and PC were simple and painless to install.

Yep that is always the biggest factor in miliage.........but it also is applies to the GRIN FACTOR too!! Be it 38 or 44, a 20 mile tank loss is no big deal to me.

I went with the Jackpot dyno tunes last year on my '08 Glide Classic. I actually went with their package of high flow filter and the power commander.
The performance improvement was noticable for the package but I expected much more for the money. The tune seems about right with no stumbling, flat spots, or problems showing up on the plugs. I may through it on the dyno this summer to verify the tune they supplied.
The fit and finish was good. Sound - It adds a nice rumble and is tame until you stomp on it. At that point it sounds like it has much more HP than it really has. I like the sound. Take off your tour pak and it will be even louder.
A thing to note is that what they do is basically almost block off your left side with the muffler and turn your exhaust into a 2 into 1 design. You won't feel much exhaust coming out of the left side AND after a whole year the left side of mine is still shiny clean on the inside.
I searched the internet listening to various sounds, went to bike shops and asked their opinions, went to bike nights to listen to sounds. Basically everyone had a different opinion (they all talked like pro's) and the same pipes sounded different on every bike to me.
Get what you like and tell yourself they are the best.
mpg/performance. local hd dealer says rush mufflers 1.75 baffles only. leave all else stock. anything more leans out too much and o2 sensors are fooled and ecm richens up causing poor mpg. other option is to go low restrict air filter,true duals, adjustable tuner and up to 4 hrs on dyno. $1400+. these mods must stay with bike when sold or traded.may want to look at knightrider ied's to richen o2's at correct range. lots of info on forums avail on this to cool and eliminate surge/backfire. most indications are ths is a cheap fix. new clamps on replacement mufflers are a must. once installed they are stretched and shud not be reused. poor seal at front of muffler is air into exhaust, thus o2 reads lean and ecm richens FAR. see a pattern here on o2 sensor motors?
Finally got the new baffles installed, along with the pre-programmed PCIII from Fuelmoto. The baffles are the larger of their "customs" at 57mm.
I've only been able to take a quick ride, but the sound is definitely a lower rumble. They are louder than my Rush 1.75's when I really get on it, but at cruising speed I think they sound close to the same or even quieter. I'm glad I went with the 57's. It'll be interesting to see how much they change after 500-1000 miles.
The PCIII seems like it's delivering more torque, but I'll need some more time to get a feel for power and mileage.
Initially I received the wrong baffles, I think it was a misunderstanding when I placed the order. But, as you always hear, the customer service at FuelMoto is tops. New baffles were in the mail immediately after my call along with a return label. Thanks, Jamie.
Ok, I got about 60 miles of riding in today on my new Jackpots. Three words, I LOVE THEM!! They look and sound great. My Ultra has never run better. I couldn't help gassing it for the slightest reason....LOL. This thing rocks and I am totally happy with it.
Now if the weather would just cooperate. Well it is supposed to be nice, 70ish and sunny on Thursday. Planning on doing about 250 miles with some bud's of mine then. I will know more about the mpg then, but like I said earlier mpg is not as important as the performance.
So how does the mufflers work? Is the left muffler a dud, just for looks no sound goes through it. And all the sound goes through the right muffler? What would be the size baffle in the right muffler?

Jamie could answer that better than I can for sure, but it is not a dud on the left side. There is some flow and sound through it. I can't tell any difference in the sound from side to side volume wise. I have as much soot showing in my left side as I do my right side with only 60 miles on them. All I can say for sure is this dog will hunt!! It's bark ain't bad either!!
