Default True duals

What system do you recommend for 2010 Ultra Classic. Should I expect any loss of power from stock setup? Have Python slips-ons at present time and plan to keep the with new setup. Just wondering about going with duals. My dealer said he would install new fuel management system and high flow breather and dyno tuned setup on installation.

with fuel management, hi flow air cleaner, slip on mufflers and dyno tune:

true duals would likely produce less torque than:

you stock header pipe with the catalytic converter removed-- which would save you a few hundred bucks.



for an air cleaner I suggest the Ness Big Sucker which is $115 ( shipped on ebay from easternpc) and that is the chrome version ( it's less expensive and tidier than the screaming eagle and has a washable/reusable filter

In your shoes ( and I was) I'd ride a few thousand miles and get a feel for what the bike is doing, what you want it to do. I've a bunch of Harleys, these recent bikes are awesome

Any true dual kit is a step in the right direction for both performance & looks, personally I fitted V & H however those RUSH cerami-coated babes sound hot. Why the moco persist with their insane header system **** me!

You have a different header system than we do in the US. ( maybe it's integral to operating the bike on the "wrong" side of the road?)

I am also looking at getting the True Duals and slip ons this winter as part of a Stage 1 upgrade. I am interested in peoples opinions on this as well.
