I own a 2008 FLHTCI and want to upgrade the exhaust system due to heat issues. I like the 2009 2-1-2 and have access to one my friend pulled off his bike. I spoke to the dealer yesterday to get a parts list (pan and bolts) and he recommended I do not make this change but instead go with a true dual system (V&H recommended) as my proposed change involved a lot of effort and expense.
I know the rear wheel has to come off to change the pan, and I have to drill the transmission for 2 bolts. However, I have 15K on the rear tire so I'm changing that, and it's also time for an oil change so other than the transmission fluid, I'm really not out that much.
The dealer (service department) also stated the 2-1-2 may not be the best way to reduce heat or keep power, and I can still use my Screaming Eagles. Is he correct?
The only real reason I see to go to true duals instead is I may see a weight savings.
I'd really like some input before I proceed. Thanks!
