No way I would wait 10 weeks for mufflers unless the bike was in winter storage.


There are plenty of choices in the Harley muffler world.


What if for some reason, you need customer service or a replacement part, how long is that going to take???

Just installed the cfr knockoffs today on my '14 limited I just bought yesterday. Sounds a thousand times better than the stock exhaust! Got the last ones my dealer had.

Default Cfr

Yea its pretty bad. They have been telling us there are Chrome issues for a while now. We got some Chrome Fluted in last week, and were told we should have at least 5-10 chrome standard sets this week.

I will call them again and make sure, its a hit miss with the ETA's we get from CFR. It seems more like a lottery system.

If you want to PM me your info, I can call you after I talk with them, or feel free to call us anytime.

I did around 100 miles today on my new limited & the knockoffs sound awesome with the stock head pipes. I've had thunderheaders on my last 3 bikes which I absolutely loved by the way. But this bike is going to stay just the way it is with the stock head pipes and cfr's, it's the perfect sound for me.

Just put a couple new additions on the bike, one being CFR knockoffs. Got them from KC International...$200 and no wait time.

They sound awesome!!! Running a de-catted head pipe.

Also put on 12" Yaffe Classic Bagger Bars.

Very comfortable set-up.

Happy riding...

Duff

My CFR's are flawless for 25K miles so far. I have lots on order too. We'll see who gets them first. Black ones have been on order since April and when chrome come in they sell out in a day or two. I always post here in the classifieds when I have them in stock. I'll let everyone know. better to wait and get pipes that don;t have chrome issues than to get them quicker but have an issue. My .02 on the matter.
