Very Nice,, very classic!!! Sweet looking ride, I love the all black paint, wish they offered it for 2010 limited!! they have it for 2011. You've got the fat shotz, nice! but how do they sound and perform? I still have the stock headers on my bike with KLock ss Slipons, they sound and look great for 3 beans (yes, three beans) but I feel the stock headers and air are way to restrictive. I was thinking about Screaming Eagle headers when I read that they too have the CC inside. Any advice in this area would be gladly appreciated.
Several have asked about the Fatshotz/Dresser Duals; here's the story. I started with 96", SERT, stock headers and Fatshotz. Bike was too quiet so I thought changing to different muffs would work. Went with D&D Boss Fat Cat slip ons. Still too quiet so went to V&H Dresser Duals to eliminate the cat (lesson learned, you gotta get rid of the cat to get any volume at all). Bike ran on dyno went 71.44 hp, 81.33 tq with Fat Cat setup. Decided to try the Fatshotz again with the Dresser Duals to see how they would sound without the cat. Liked it just as much as the Fat Cats so I left them on and sold the Fat Cats to a buddy. Bike seemed to run just as well and performed the same with the Fatshotz as with the Fat Cats. Have not dyno'd the Fatshotz with the Dresser Duals. My experience was that the Fatshotz are deeper in bass sound but not as loud (barely noticeable) in volume as the Fat Cat slip ons. The Fat Cats are louder at cruising speed. Each sounded great, and fit and finish were first class. Both sound awesome during idle and acceleration but the Fatshotz settle down a little more at cruising speed. Getting ready to do a 107 or 110 so the real test is coming...Hope this helps a few of you.
Nice, how you like those fatshotz slipons, I been looking at them.

Thanks! Check my reply and I think you will get the answer you are looking for. To get a good sound, in my opinion, you have to ditch the cat in that head pipe or ditch the head pipe for something aftermarket like I did. I have no issues with the performance of the bike with this header and slip on combination. I haven't tinkered with it any further yet because I am not yet decided on my next motor work, gonna do a 107 or 110 this winter. Hope this helps.
