He is partially right, companies like Vance&Hines say they want to do research and development first. Just to make sure.
But the 2011 headers worked on my 2012. I couldn't wait, that catalytic converter is a HOT sob.

 

This has nothing to do with product knowledge, but it does when it comes to sour grapes by a sales person. Since there are so many HD dealers around here I went shopping at four of the stores looking for the right used bike. At one a sales guy helped me and took me around the whole dealership, couldn't ask for a friendlier person. However, he did make a push to get me to buy a guawdy bike with a zillion miles on it. I didn't see anything there so I left. The next day I found a RK at another dealership so I bought it. A week later I returned to the original dealer to buy a part and the sales guy who helped me came up with the big smile and said, "I see your back". I told him I was there to buy a part for a RK I just bought and then all of a sudden his whole demeanor changed. Without saying another word he made an about face and walked away, I think he may have nodded his head, but that was it. I thought to myself, what a phony bastard that guy is. Based on that alone I won't be referring him any business, I would have based on his initial treatment the week before. He didn't have what I wanted in stock so I guess he takes it as a personal insult if a prospect buys elsewhere. Whatever.

 

I just called three dealerships asking where the cats are located on my new 2012 Deluxe, they all told me they didn't have one. I'm believe they are wrong since the manual says they have one.

 

Its sad, but most car dealerships are like that too. I always know more than the salesmen and if they surprise me, i try to buy from them.

 

 

LOL, and obviously they sucked at that too!

 

Guess I need to remove the Screamin' Eagle Street Performance Touring Mufflers that I just installed on my '12 Streetglide this weekend! Damn, should have known...
