Customer came in stating “you tuned my bike back in March and I changed whole exhaust to this cooler one and now it stumbles. Your tune sucks”
Retuned his bike and showed him how much his coolness cost him in money and performance.
Red is where is was with the full exhaust and KW mufflers. Blue is where is now is with his “cool” exhaust.

There's no price for stupidity...LMAO

I’ve never read anything good performance wise about all these shorty 2-1 exhausts. People seem to like them for the looks I guess, but they do seem to particularly hurt the torque numbers…….

I’ve also wondered if these shorty’s will result in exhaust spooge getting on the side of the bike?

 

[SteadyEddie]

Ha...you said Spooge

oh there is. -2hp and -9tq 🤣

And what was his reaction to the loss of power?

As Fernando always said, it's better to look good than to feel good......you look marvelous

No idea. The service writer talked to him and I never heard anything back

Taking a hit right in that 3-4k mark where a lot of riders putt along and then crack on it to pass - what a waste

2022 FLTRKSE 117. Now a 131 with an Andrews 554, Wedge air cleaner, KW 2-2 headpipe with his existing 4” Vance and Hines.

did he ask to retune it for new exhaust?

@crazy4ink - I do my best to avoid this thread as when I rip the FatBob...all I can think is "there is so much more in there...I know it" - All good rocking the Sofa stock but that damn FXFB makes me want to drop the bike off with $5K and say "get the most ya can outta 'er" - Thank the good lord you live MANY states away

Makes for a much better road trip story. Just book the damn appointment already

That’s why it was back in. He had changed the exhaust and was complaining, so we explained to him why he needed it retuned

Customer brought in his “fast as hell” 2023 CVO with the VVT 121. I made a pull with his bike (red) as it sat; wedge air cleaner, SE tuner and Sawicki short 2-1.
Then I showed him what my 110” Twin Cam Crossbones put down (blue).
Now we’re pulling his bike apart for a 135” engine. Lol

Nothing like some shaming to get some business😂

Ha...how did I miss this...one of my all time favs and spout it often in the office.....I get a ton of weird looks and under breath muddels of "who's Fernando" when I say, 'Fernando, don't be a schnook, it's not how you feel, it's how you look.....and you look MAHVELOUS"

 

[crazy4ink]

Got that 135 kit done (not the crate engine). Extreme wedge air cleaner, Bassani shorty 2-1 and SE tuner with auto tune module.
