Default My Eyes Are Opened

I purchased my Mistress(2010 Ultra Classic) last Novemeber with dealer installed SE slip-ons. I was very satisfied with the performance of the stock twin cam 96, but extremely dissatisfied with the overbearing heat output of the rear cylinder.

I have read numerous post on fuel controls and stage 1 air kits, most are power seeking and talk about dyno numbers. I mostly thought it to be a waste of money - wasn't my money - wasn't my scoot, but a reduction of heat was usually involved. That got my attention.

I finally made the decision to order a PCV and stage 1 air kit from Fuelmoto. Man was my eyes opened. I apologize for all of my uninformed misplaced thoughts. I order to reduce the heat, but the difference in performance is unbelivable. The SEs really bark now and the scoot is sooooo smooth.

I just installed and only rode a couple of miles up the road we have light showers today. Installation took about 2.5 hrs mainly because of the two allen screws behind the stock plastic air box. I lost about 1 hour getting them out. Everything else when silky smooth.

I tip my hat to the guys at Fuelmoto their top shelf.

Congrats! Get rid of the cats and you'll really see an improvement in heat.

These heat shields like on my '09 Ultra Classic work great for me. It seems to make a difference.
