Hey everyone - browsed the forums for some time, finally signed up last night. An up front thanks to everyone who has contributed here to the enormous wealth of information.

I'm riding a 2012 Fat Boy Lo and just completed my first mod, a simple installation of a Ness Big Sucker Stage 1 air intake.

I also purchased a V&H Fuelpak in anticipation of installing my Big Radius 2-into-2 pipes, but alas the bike would stall at idle once the Fuelpack was installed. It's currently headed back to V&H to be replaced after troubleshooting with their techs.

Kevin

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

@I Corps; I purchased mine at Chicago Harley up in Glenview shortly before they changed hands when they were moving bikes as fast as possible. Wildfire has a fantastic motor clothes selection and a great motor clothes staff.

I'm having the Big Radius 2:2 installed this Monday morning. Looking very forward to getting it back!
