Just got the bike back from the tuner. Had the HD SERT installed and dynoed. Man what a difference. Ever since I got my new 06 Ultra Classic, I've been telling the dealer who sold it to me it was not right. After the 1k service I had them install the SE Intake and a set of Rinehart SlipOns. Dealer told me all I needed was the HD download[:@]. Anyway it seemed to run better but still was not right and was getting hot. I showed them the SB on the injectors and they said thats what's wrong with it. So they installed the injectors and I ask them if they did the download. They said you don't need it.[:@]. Well the bike ran like crap and my gas milage dropped down to 29 miles a gallon. I took the bike to another dealer. The service guy ask me a couple of questions about the mods they had done, then walks over and says Hey with these Rineharts on your 06 you need a SERT. Long story short, had them install a new SERT and run it on a dyno. Man what a difference.
