Good simple choice. I have them on my 08 UC with a Big Sucker and they work great. Simple 5 minute install. Mine lugged real bad under 3K before but now runs great from 2.5K on.
I ran mine for a year and loved them. I now run a PC-V with a Mo-flow AC and keep the Xied's in the saddlebags as a backup in case of on the road problems with the PC-V.
I was busy doing some house improvements today
and checked the mail before showering and getting ready
to turn in and the Xied's are here, I am gonna put em on
in the morning and ride to try 'em out!!!!!!!!!!!
I just took these off mine for the second time. Took them off two seasons ago but thought I would try them again this season. They seem to be giving me a problem at the end of a long ride. They did seem to keep the bike running cooler, but would cause the motor to stall at idle. It would happen after an extended run at cruising speed, like my commute to work on the super slab. When I would get to the first light or stopping point at the end of the run, it died. It would take a little bit of time for it to adjust to stop and go without dieing. Second time this has happened so I'm thinking they are off for good now. I do have the 103 stage II with ful sac duels and rush 2" slip ons.
