Default Throttle roll-on

My son and I both have new 2012 RG's I got a stock ultra he got the custom. He just picked his up from the dealer after they installed the Vance & Hines 2-1 pipe, SE air cleaner, & dyno tune showing 78.64hp & 97.87tq. Not bad numbers for being a mile high here in Denver. We did a fifth gear roll-on from about 50MPH to considerably faster ( I'm not sayin how fast) on the highway and he pulled cleanly away from mine. We did this when his was stock and I still had my FXRT w/ Andrews EV 27, S&S Super E, SE ign., Python pipes, both in 5th gear and my RT pulled away from him. I think his would be real close to my RT now. Damn I miss that bike, and regret letting it go every time I think about it. Anyway I also like the way the V&H sounds. I'll probably order one soon, just gotta decide on the air cleaner Ness or SE, TTS master tune or the SE. and a shop to do the dyno. I'd like to be just an RCH quicker than his.

Prolly find the Ness a tad cheaper than the SE. As for the tuner, I run the TTS and would recommend it.
