Mods for my 06 1600 - Page 2

I have the open intake and tfi with debaffled exhausts. Bike runs so much better than stock but my mpg's did drop from about 40 to nearly 30. Probably mostly cause I keep twisting the throttle more. :) I can run regular gas now. I will probably put some V&H baggers on in the future.

Thanks for the input guys! Sounds like if I'm going to do this right I need to invest in after market exhaust. I hate to spend the money, but I want to do it right. Besides, it sounds like I would eventually spend the money on gas (lower MPG's). The roadhouse sounds like something I could live with but it doesn't appear they are available. Can anyone suggest a quiet set of pipes that compliment the air and fuel mods? I don't mind a little growl but don't want a lot of bark, I had louder pipes on my other bike and the noise got old real fast.

I have a friend who had some new RH pipes he was trying to sell. I'm not to sure if he still has them available or not. I've PMed you his email address.
