First mod completed
Bike is only a week old, 12 Ultra EG. My wonderful wife went for a ride with me last week and her only negative comment was that the bike was too quiet and we needed new pipes. She highly encouraged me to pick up some slip-on pipes. My riding buddy has a 10 EG with Reinharts. We love the sound of them so I picked up a set today and installed them in less than 45 minutes, including cleaning them. Took it for a short ride and like the sound of it now. We went with slip-ons as I am not ready to make any mods to the engine right now. Maybe in a year or two but for now I am more than pleased with the power and performance of the Ultra EG.

Yep, after a few rounds with that hot right side, I see a Stage I in your future.
A stage I use to mean air cleaner, mufflers, and some kind of fuel mgmt device or the Stage I flash to the ECM at the dealer. But now with that cat in the right side of the header on the new bikes, most folks usually do something about it as well. Most get rid of it to reduce the heat. Not everyone agrees on removing the cat from a performance viewpoint. You can cut into you stock header and have it removed, or buy a new aftermarket header. I went with the new aftermarket header from Fuel Moto. So lots to think about. Enjoy the Rineharts.

I see many arguments between you and the checkbook on the horizon.

Thanks all,
So far the checkbook is winning the argument. We saved our pennies and paid cash for the new ride so after buying the pipes, we have to save some more pennies for more mods. I do plan on selling some body parts to get the wife a headset. Got a few trips coming up and would rather not make her yell to tell me she needs a stop. LOL
