    I bought the 2018 107 Fat Boy.
    So far: Dynajet fuel management, Hi Flo filter.

    Has anybody in the Canberra area fitted the Vance and Hines Double Radius with the muffler inserts? I would love to hear them?

    My next choice being V & H 300 Eliminator slip-ons?

    I look forward to your feed back. ..... Baz

    Rode an 18 test FXBB (stage1, tuner) with the SE extreme Air filter double radius and they killed the bottom end , got going from around 3500 though,I have the same bike(Stage1,tuner) with the Se extreme air filter and V@H 3.5 Slash cuts,it has more grunt than the bike with the double radius from idle to around 4K , I thought they were too loud so I put those DK torque inserts in and it toned it down a little and FELT like it picked up some low end torque. They are much lighter than the stock HD mufflers too.

    Thanks for your feedback. Yup! I was thinking the double radius was going to be too loud ... didn't know it would kill the power!  
    I'm waiting for H-D Canberra to get the 300 V&H Eliminators in, they are made to suit the Fat Boy brushed chrome finish. Looks original which isn't a bad thing?  I don't like the idea of spending >$2000 and ending up with worse performance that stock!

    Thanks again ... Ride safe ... Baz
