I have just had a 2 into 1 V&H competition pro exhaust fitted. Compared when the stock exhaust was fitted the bike appears to be shaking itself to death. It does not appear to be running rough, just having a lot of vibrations running through the bike. Is this normal with a V&H pipe?
Yep, put a Power Commander V on it. Remapping the EFI for the pipe mod will calm the shakes. I don't think it is mechanical like bolts or anything else but check them to be sure.
I had a screamin eagle super turner fitted. I asked the shop about having a dyno done, but they assured me there was no need, because it was 'mapped'.
It does throw a small amount of black smoke when you rev it from idle when stationary.
Thanks for the advice, I will get it dyno'd.
My other question is when I ran it stationary at 4K RPM, the headers began to glow (red), rev'd for only about 20secs.
Is this normal, or an indicator of running rich also?
By the way long time rider, first time Harley owner. Don't know why i didn't do it years ago!!

they said the bike will feel different, maybe it is just that, but it does vibrate considerably more than when the stock pipe was on.
Of more concern now is the headers glowing red when I rev'd it while stationary.
I have it going back into the shop next week,will let you know of the outcome.
