first is was the Road Glide ones , not the ones you are running , secondly I called them and they said if I aligned them with my fork angle I would get about 12" of pullback and I only got 8" , if I pulled them back any more they would have looked like ****

on my last bike I had put a short mini windscreen on it and although it looked pretty cool it was completely useless..on my Roadie... so far been making pretty smart decisions... and happy with my upgrades.

Actually I've been fairly lucky, between the reports from brothers on this site and thinking long and hard on my upgrades, I've been very happy with all my upgraes.

I would say I'm happy with all my upgrades & I made good decisions for the most part....except I wish I had done the V&H Pro Pipe from the get go instead of saving a small amount of $ and doing the slip-ons. I have the V&H twin slash slip-ons, and they sound and look great & the quality is top notch, just wish I had done the Pro Pipe when I bought the bike for performance reasons.
Best $ I spent was on the SE Pro Super Tuner and a good dyno tune....$800 well spent.

Computer down load on an 03 road king. Put on screaming eagle slippons first made all the difference in the world. Lot more power. Down load and air cleaner kit made no difference at all.

Big Dog is the problem.
