2009 Street Glide Improvements over 2008

You should be able to hear the radio. Those mufflers have a nice bark to them.

I would use a TFI to add fuel , the 02 sensors will adjust but only to a point and you would be very lean.(EPA compliant)

EFI - Electronic Fuel Injection Controllers - Motorcycle, ATV, Snowmobile, UTV

Many topics on the TFI here including a discount link.

I have reinharts and SE Air Cleaner with the SE Super Tuner on mine. It runs great and I can hear thte stereo fine.

The biggest issue with the radio on the SG will be the short windsheild. I added the HD 9.5" to mine becasue I don't like the turbulance the short one allows.

Just a quick reminder...read today on front page of local newspaper here in California a bill is going thru Assembly adding compulsory testing of motorcycles specifically for SMOG/EPA emissions for 2000 and later...due to "knowlegable" eh...sources (probably non-motorcyclists), who say riders are "modifying" their pipes, removing catalysts and air/fuel mixture...imagine that!

Better keep your OEM takeoffs if buying a new bike, you will need them!

Sniffers?!?! We don't even have to have a safety inspection...EVER! Pay our yearly registration and they mail us the sticker!

Hey, someone has to live by the hog farms!

Hey playhard, I'm 5'10" and put on the 6.5 inch windshield and it works for me. I still get some wind but if I wanted a windless ride, I'd drive my car. Good luck with whatever you buy.

Hey guys....I wanted to post a new thread on this, but for the life of me I see no "new thread" button ANYWHERE in any of the forums!

Anyway, I went to purchase a set of the little magnetic chrome sleeves that cover the ugly docking hardware when not using the sissy bar, and they only come 4 at a time and cost $40.00. I only will ever need 2 as I never intend to add a trunk.

Did anybody here buy a set and want to sell 2 ? If not, and your in the same boat as me I'll buy a set and split it with somebody.

Let me know!
