Hello
Hello to all, I am new to the forum and hopefully will garner some info from those of you in the know. I am realtively new to the motorcycle community and even a newer Harley owner. I own a 2007 Harley Davidson Road King with Screamin' Eagle Mufflers but no other mods (yet!!!), and I love it. I know about most of the issues with this model year but I do have a few questions for anyone that knows.
1. At around 70-80 mph, the bike will ping pretty badly if I really punch it, any thoughts?
2. I have seen dual conversion kits on eBay which remove the H pipe from the exhaust make it a true dual set up and I am interested (more for the sound then the performance, I know TQ and HP numbers would dip). Has anyone had any experience using that type of product or should I just stay clear of that and save up for the Rhinehearts. Also are true duals legal in California for this model year?
3. I am also thinking about using a programmer for the ECU, whats out there and are they reliable for switching back and forth for when the California Smog ****'s come calling for a check up?
Thanks in advance for any info offered up.

RE: Hello
Thanks for the replies, my Screamin' Eagles are the CA legal, and I do use high octane so it sounds like I will make a trip to the dealership soon. See you out there...

RE: Hello
Welcome to the forum. You will learn alot here.
You said it does it between 70-80 mph , are you in top gear ? It kinda sounds like maybe the engine could just be lugging in to high of a gear.If so try droping down a gear and see if that helps. But with it being a new Bike It shouldn'tping at all. I'm sure your dealer will do something for you. Good luck.
