It's obvious that the the 2-1 setup, with the correct map, will give your bagger a slight improvement over a Stage 1 system. But baggers just don't look right with only 1 pipe. True duals? Fuhgedaboutit. If the MOCO thought your bike would run better w/o the crossover pipe, it wouldn't be there.

I think baggers are the best place for 1 pipe. You don't notice it as much with the bags. I do agree, if the Moco though TDs were better, they would have put them on.

My Ultra has 2-1, I wanted as much power without opening engine. My Road King, still has slip ons. Money being a big part. I do like the sound too.

I do like how easy 2-1 goes on and off. I really like that you don't have to take heat sheild off, and looks good with continuous het sheild.

I thinks it cause some people have hard time accepting 2-1. Best thing for Harley bikes will be, when Harley riders die.

Wanna get the matching back rest this year.

Not near as fancy, hell... I absolutely love it, Stoney. I think it looks way cool.

Old bikes are great.

Thanks. The most common response is "do you know it's leaking oil?"


Its hard for some to appreciate the older bikes.

They know enough to sell 300,000+ bikes a year. The funny thing is, when I have rented 100% stock touring bikes (Electra Glides and Road Glides) they run just fine. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

I'll agree with that... its just that other stock bikes (victory's for example) run like bats outta hell... I'm not sayin' HD aren't good marketers, they are savants, but they have lost sight of what a bike is it seems to me...

Nope. Most people like the way a Touring Bike (Electra Glide, Road King, etc.) looks with a big set of pipes sticking out the back.
