Installed new head pipes from fullsac (no more cat's) also installed TTS map on my 2010. Bike runs great and has more power and less heat. Enjoying the ride.

Kill the cat and give it a good tune is just what the Doctor ordered for putting a grin on your face. You will find you enjoy it much more with the new found power and cool.

Did you keep the stock mufflers and air cleaner? Only changing the head pipe and a TTS tuner?

Default Good as it gets!

With the headpipe and tune + that 11 primary pulley I feel the Tri performance would be adequate for most Trike owners. Negate the need for breaking into the engine for 90% of us.

Harley should do something for the 09-10 Tri owners! I know the EPA may have locked them in on the exhaust and factory tune but there was no excuse for that primary pulley not to be on the 09's and 10's.

Will be interesting to see how your 6th gear does now two up and loaded and how the Tri pulls out when on the warm side. Mine is spot on when riding solo but a little lazy on take off and 6th gear is a little weak off level when riding two up.

When on a trip riding two up I am also loaded to the gills. When it got hot it was a little lazy starting out and in 6th gear. It will be different next year.

That's because your spark temperature correction tables are pulling out some timing. Unfortunately they can't be adjusted with a SEPro tuner. Oops, did I just say that?

We'll be taking care of that problem this winter when we switch to the 30 tooth pulley. With the purchase of the Triglide I have several regrets, getting the SEST is one of them. I thought I was doing the right thing by sticking with HD parts and upgrades which I thought would keep any warranty issues from cropping up, boy was I wrong. All it took was a stinker of a dealer service dept to drop a dime on my dad and we were off to the races.

Lets just put it like this. The service dept. told the factory rep that we installed the SE 255 cams ourselves and she flagged my engine warranty.

just wondering why not change the primary sprocket if chain adjuster will take up slack instead of 30 pulley. seems lot easer to me may have to change clutch basket to. I did this on my 99 road king with motor trike kit.
