I had a cracked crossover pipe when I bought my bike used, so rather than stay with stock I went with the true duals. Like NewHarley said, a little less heat on your thigh. I've read conflicting reports about more or less performance with true duals. Really like mine, though. Sort of like getting rid of the tensioners, I no longer have the crossover pipe to crack either.

Your are welcome South Jersey. I will right down that number and give them a call. I have the TVIII already installed. It seems to do pretty good however everytime you get back on it, it starts all over again remapping. Thats part of that magneti marelli I am told.

Yeah today a friend said I may have some loss of power but mine is very strong to have 44K. It was suposedly owned by a preacher so hopefully he didnt abuse it. He did however cover it in chrome and saved me thousands. I have the black version with chrome spokes and big whitewalls. It is a head turner and it is usually the oldest bike among my riding buds.

Post some pics. Also hd came out with a conversion kit of there own to update the tensioners to the 06-07 up style. If this was out last June when I changed the cams in my ultra I would have gotten it. My plate wasn't looking too good after 95K miles and the 35K mile pump was looking a little shabby so I changed it all and went back with a new SE set with the original style chains and tensioners. I also like a SE 203 in a stock bike. Runs as well as the 26 on the low end with a little more on the top end.
