Default I pulled the trigger! (updated)

As part of the whole new bike deal, I got...

V&H Dressers
V&H Twin Slash Ovals
SE Stage 1 A/C
SE Super Tuner

The almost final product with all installed....







The only thing left to do is get it dialed completely in on the Dyno at the 1000mi service, and it will be complete.

I'm told I could have opted for a few more horses and ft. lbs. of torque if I'd have gone with power duals with V&H monsters of some type, but I really like this look, and LOVE the sound!

Nice. Dresser duals look excellent IMO.

I'm pretty sure that's a well know fact! Congrats on the new ride. You're going to love it. I'd be interested to know how long you can ride on that stock seat. If you decide you need another one, let me know. I've got a brand new one sitting in the garage. Good choice!

Am I not supposed to like the stock seat?
