| Hi all, i just bought a vision and only have 500 miles on it , a couple of questions; when the rpms are about 2700-2900 the exhaust sounds like it is comming from the engine compartmet or the front cowling area. its a poping sound... i tightened the header bolts no difference. also what is everyone doing about the heat from the right pipe? is there a company making headers or true duals to let the exhast out the tail pipes it sounds all bound up. i also feel a hesitation as i begin to turn the throttle can the throttle cable be tighted to reduce the slack so it is more instant response. i also have a road king so i dont really need loud pipes on this bike, but i want to open it up and let it breath it is all jammed up in the engine. please advise if you have any info. tnx, tom ca. usa |

rhode island | welcome tom;
the throttle is designed to open slowly via a snail shaped cam, exhaust could use a level 2 upgrade, I dont' find
the heat excessive but highway pegs may help.
good riding to you. |

| I think the hesitation is just the nature of the stock download, I had the hesitation up until I installed the VFC-08 which of course was installed after my Cycle Dragon pipes. |

How do you like your Draggon Pipes? I want to get some louder pipes and am just looking for feedback. I saw that they are "tunable." I want some more sound out of my bike. Any info would help.

| I like the pipes, they have a nice rumble, not real loud but now I can set off alarms, I was actually complemented on the sound by some Harley riding friends.
BTW, as far as tunability I don't doubt that they can approach obnoxiously loud by removing all the packing, I removed half.
I do have a fair (misses some of the low note) quality sound clip for anyone who is interested, just pm me your email address.

Reno County, KS | So, are you saying that you upgraded to the VFC instead of taking it in for a remap? It seems like a good idea to take that money and apply it towards the tuner. I was thinking of this at one point too. I bought the bike with the Stg.1 lvl.2 setup. Does that mean I'd have to buy stock pipes back for the heat sheilds if I went with the Dragons? I should have asked for the original take-offs before I left the dealership in the first place... |

Richmond, Texas | radioteacher - 2008-07-01 6:40 PM Byrdman, What pipes do you have now? I am running the stage one pipes now, but want something more. I saw a Vision in San Antonio last Saturday around 10:30 a.m. heading south on the freeway by Sea World (or Fiesta -- I get them mixed up) Was that you? I was on my way to Bandera for a couple of days.

San Antonio, Texas | If it was Loop 1604 south around Culebra or Highway 90 around 1604, it could have been me. I was heading over to show off to my HD riding brother--who wasn't even there, had to settle for showing his wife! |
