2011 FLHTK Additions....
Wondering if you guys can point me in the direction. I just traded my 04 FLHR w/ 85k miles on it and bought the 11 Limited Ultra. Of course now I am completely broke (again) yep the American HD Way! However I need to change the few things.
The stereo sirius / xm radio add on is 500$, anyone have it? Did you put it in? To take off the outer fairing I believe it is held on through the headlight and windshield but haven't messed with it as of yet. Suggestions?
Pipes? I want loud so of course I know I am going to get a bunch of answers on which ones are best; however need to start slow so if I got mufflers first, would it be worth to wait on the true duals?
Clutch seems to clank ALOT!
Probably missing a bunch on here but 300 miles down and want to get it going faster than slower but dealing w/ a new born is more expensive :-)
Thanks guys!

I have the xm in my bike, easy to install, also its easy to take off the fairing, your first purchase should be the service manual ,with that you can do a lot.
The xm is 500, but you also need to buy a wire harness which is $100.
I love my xm the exhaust you wil get 100 different answers I siuggest listen to other bike and find one you like,

I also just picked up a 2011 FLHTK a couple weeks ago in the 2 tone Candy Rootbeer. I'll be putting on Vance and Hines Power Duals with the Hi output mufflers. Ordered them when I got the bike and still waiting for them to come in. I traded in my 04 Ultra with Rinehart true duals. Had 45,000 miles on the Ultra. Can't wait to get my pipes in for the Limited. Stock pipes suck. Sound like a Goldwing.

I first had the XM module on my 08 Ultra. When I purchased the 2010 Ultra Limited, I had it transferred from one motorcycle to the other. It is a costly system if you leave it on your current ride when you trade up, but I found it a good investment when you transfer it to your new ride.

The XM investment...
I have thought about keeping the current radio and adding the kit; and like you said it's costly.
I have also thought about pulling the HD radio out and putting in the Sony conversion kit. If I do that I will still retain the controls on the bars. I am going to begin cost analysis but I believe if I go changing the stuff out for a different stereo then I will void everything in the dash which could prove just as costly.

I have a 2010 Ultra Limited and also have been looking at xm module. Have put on order the Rineharts Slip-ons, Arlen Ness Big Sucker, and Super Tuner. So when I get back from Afghanistan I will install those.
