I have been looking at one of these.

There is lots of info on thier website discussing various exhaust design issues. It all makes an interesting and sometimes amusing read.

Well if everyone else falls thru on the pipes let me know, my sons looking for a TH and get rid of his Reinharts, Im in Nrcal also. Nice bike by the way very clean. Mind if I ask what it went for? Reason is I am looking into an 02 FLHR but is not as nice of condition as yours and thinking of getting it thru an estate sale.

$9500. It has a Stage II kit and 23k miles. Where in Norcal RU? I am near Sacramento. I traded my 01 Ultra Classic for an 09 V-Rod. I love the V-Rod but really missed the Touring bike. I wanted something more stripped down so the Road King Classic was perfect for me. I really love the look of the soft bags and the windscreen. My V-Rod is set up in a similar fashion.

Default Retrofitting a 2010 Harley 2 into 1 possible?

Browsing through eBay I noticed quite a few Harley 2 into 1's for sale for relatively cheap money. I know my bike is an 02 and has no 02 sensors or cat but would it not then be possible to use this exhaust and with 02 sensors be able to use a Power Commander V with auto tune?

A Pipe dream?

D&D Fat Cat quiet baffle. Great power and nice bark when you want it, plus no ringing ears after a 700 mile day.

The Dragula is the way I went. It is ceramic coated and runs much cooler and it has interchangable baffles. I had a V&H Pro Pipe and it was too loud for me! You won't be sorry with the Dragula and fit and finish is outstanding!

Mike_oh,

I will look into the Dragula. I read that the V&H has a quiet baffle option so that would be an option.

Thanks again for the recommendation!

I found the V&H pipe to have a very bothersome drone to it. The quiet baffle would reduce power made. The Dragula has interchangeable baffles and I think a 2" baffle would give you great sound and be quiet enough at the same time. The Supertrapp Super Meg is a good choice also. I really like the ceramic coating on the Dragula!!
