FLSTN with Samson Fishtail True Duals
If you are looking for some old school flair then I can't think of anything that is quite as sexy as a classic Harley Davidson with a killer looking set of fishtail dual exhausts on it. Certain Harley Davidsons lend themselves quite well to this style of pipe and these Samson True Duals with fishtail tips are the perfect compliment to an old school Harley Davidson. Samson has really been coming to the front as of late with some really cool offerings in the Harley Davidson exhaust lineup. If these True Duals are any indication then I'd...

read moreDo I need to Flash ECM on Harley with Stage 1?
Dougster asked: I have a 2008 HD FLH with a pair of Screaming Eagle slip on mufflers and I just bought the matching Screaming Eagle AC upgrade. Will it be ok if I install this breather kit without flashing the ECM or installing a Fuel Pack? I don't want to hurt my engine. What Do you think? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. Our Answer Dougster....thanks for the question, this is one we get a LOT and unfortunately you won't like the answer. Harley Davidson motorcycles are set up from the factory to run extremely lean and to...
read moreD&D Fat Cat Harley Pipe Review
The D&D Fat Cat is one of the best kept secrets of the Harley Davidson world. The D&D Fat Cat does not fit the traditional mold of what you think of when you think Harley Pipes mainly because it is a 2 into 1 pipe. Traditional Harley Pipes have always been 2 into 2 configuration like a traditional pair of Drag pipes but those in the know will tell you that the 2 into 1 Harley Pipe design is the ticket when it comes to performance. My experience would verify that thought process as well. I replaced a set of Vance and Hines Big Shot...
read moreCobra Fi2000R Fuel Pack Review
If you are the owner of a late model Harley Davidson then you know doubt understand that they tend to run hot, really hot as of late. In order to get the emissions down to acceptable levels, the Motor Company has set the tune to run right on the ragged edge of too lean, in order to get them to pass emissions. The side effect of running too lean is that they will produce a lot of heat and run very hot. This is not good for the performance of your Harley Davidson and is made worse when you install free flowing exhaust pipes and an air...

I get asked this question a lot so rather than answering it every time I thought I would share a quick review about some of the products on my motorcycle. My pride and joy is a 2007 FXSTB made by none other than Harley Davidson. For all you rice riding saps, that's a Nightrain...the best looking Harley Davidson made...at least in my opinion. My Nightrain is not your ordinary FXSTB as I have put a LOT of time and money into it, in fact, I sometimes think I like working on it more than I like riding it. I love tinkering with just about...

When given the chance to road test and install a set of Hard Krome T-Rex True Duals on our Harley Davidson Roak King, we jumped at the chance. Not much is more dull than a putt putt stock exhaust system and we were itching to upgrade our Harley pipes, so we went for it. If you aren't familiar with the Hard Krome T-Rex pipe then you should know that Hard Krome markets this Harley pipe as the largest "true dual" exhaust system in the business. The Hard Krome T-Rex sports a man sized 3" diameter outer exhaust pipe that creates a sexy fat pipe...

The 2009 FLH Harley Davidson's are already proving to be extremely popular with the HD crowd however there are a few things that you need to be aware of when it comes to the exhaust system. The 2009 system is different than prior years models, even though the bikes look virtually the same. It's not secret that one of the very first modifications that most Harley Davidson owners make when they buy a new or used Harley Davidson is to upgrade the exhaust system to one that they find more suitable to their tastes. I've never done a study but...
read moreStage 1 on My Nightrain?
Nightrain asked: I bought a used Nightrain last month and I need some help. I want to know if my bike has a Stage 1 kit on it or not and I don't know how to tell.
