2010 SG 2-complaints (help-?)
#1 complaint - the drive by wire throttle --> give me my cables BACK! I cannot stand the hesitation I am experiencing. I am a long time rider (43 years), so I REALLY notice it. Is there a retro fit? A friend of mine's wife just bought a 2011 Deluxe, and it has cables -- ?
#2 complaint - this thing is flippin' HOT on the right side. The bike has a slip on (V&H), but I would like to get the head pipes replaced and get rid of the converter. Does anyone make a 2 into 1 head pipe system for a bagger?
Thanks for any and all input guys!!

#1 Hesitation is easily fixed by Intake / Exhaust / Tuner Upgrade. Talk to Jamie at Fuelmoto about a package, will also help with your heat issue.
#2 See this thread for a cheap fix.

#1 I have no idea what you are talking about. I have a 11 RK and I don't feel any hesitation. Maybe there is some kind of adjustment, I hope some one can help you on that.
#2 Vance&Hines has 2 , Pro Pipe 2 into 1 and Competition Series 2 into 1. Caliber and Supertrapp and Bassani have them. I think there is more if you look around.

Hesitation compared to cables can be reduced by a proper tune. Changing the VE table at certain throttle positions will help make it respond quicker.
Replace headpipe will reduce the heat. Whatever one you want is your choice. When you replace the headpipe, you will need a tune and hence that should also cure complaint #1

#! - Vance & Hines Throttle Pak will cure that....$180+/- at Eastern Performance.
#2- Remove Cat in the header, High Flow Air Filter and a fuel management tuner PC-5, V & H Fuel Pak, etc.....you already have the pipes.

You didn't say if you have the complete stage 1 set up or not so try that first, and also maybe go with synthetic the next oil change. Also, I have to give a sponsor of this site (Captain Itch www.Captain-Itch.com) some kudos for his crotch cooler which really helped my heat issue.

I don't know why, but the delay of electronic throttles is as common on cars as they are on motorcycles. The new Mustang drives me crazy with its delay and I struggle on my Harley to make smooth throttle inputs in corners.
The problem with the delay is the driver (rider) keep adding more more throttle during the delay to make up for the lack of performance during delay, but once the engine does respond with the excessive throttle input, the bike, or car accelerates more quickly than the situation demands.
Sorry for the soap box, but the thottle delay is a big pet peeve.
