Just got the Fatty (Fat Bob) back a week ago complete with the Stage 1 upgrade. Got the Vance and Hines Black 2 into 2 Big Radius pipes, intake modded (but stock cover retained), fuel pack (to adjust fuel/air mix) and dyno tuned.

This upgrade seriously woke this bike up, not to mention how loud it is. Hey, it's music to my ears!

    The V&H short shots are one of my favorites for Dyna or Softail, the denim black is a good look on your baby....now get back to work, stage two awaits and get the screaming eagle intake...the black one would be awesome.

    Nice bike, congrats and those pipes look good but kill performance unless you are wide open throttle down the strip. Best performance pipe for a big twin is the thunderheader, also best sounding imo.

    Harleys perform much better with some back preasure.

    Very cool, the exhaust goes well with the lines of your bike. Fit 'n finish on harley's has come a long way. Great looking bike.

    vance and hines are Harley pipes. they make the screaming eagle from HD's racing team, so no doubt Vance and Hines is an excellent choice John. since Harley is so big they get pressured with EPA guidelines, they have pretty much lowered the db output on the new screaming eagle where its not worth it to use them anymore, V&H branded though does not have to worry about such things. Guess I never told you though I went to work for HD over a year ago.

    It was good you did the job right with the tuner and breather, I see so many bikes where its not done and they just tear up. Discoloration on the pipe guard is a dead give away.
