Default widows, power commander & dyno... wow

Well I did it today. Spent my cash and got some Vance & Hines headers (black), a set of V&H widow slip ons, a power commander, a stage 1 big suck, and a dyno. Let's just say that my FLHTK is a totally different bike. I love the instant response. The sound is exactly what I wanted - deep deep throaty rumble - that is loud enough - but not goofy.

I'm a happy camper...

1200 kms on this setup the past 2 days - and I'm still grinning...

I am curious! When you get some miles on it with your new setup, could you post your MPG before and after.

I am looking to upgrade at some point and cannot make up my mind.

Congrats and thanks!
