question on a new ride

[kd]

Pete, that's a Screamin Eagle tuner.  I have a super tuner pro and it says that on the front.  Yours doesn't so I expect it is a simple super tuner  (SEPT). My bar code is different too but the Tuner is the same in appearance in all other ways.  BTW, it is orange, not yellow.

yeah, I see Orange and wrote yellow, can't fix stupid  Thanks Kd, something else to check out later on down the road !

Nice looking bike Pete!
Best of luck with it but be careful. The red ones are the fastest😄

You may be able to get a tuner to lift the tune off it and compare it to your ECM.  It's a pretty good indication that a little more than exhaust and breather have been done to it.  Likely a touring grade cam by the sound of your experience riding it home.  It doesn't sound like it was a dog. I'm guessing it's a 96" and they seemed a little soft to most.

  yup 96" it does not run like a dog to me but I'm use to the 80" Evo motor. I like the Rinehart true duals - very mellow until you flip the throttle

That was nice that the previous owner sent the tuner along with. I knew a guy that sold his HD and I asked if he was sending the TTS tuner along with the bike, even after I said it was "married" to the bike and wouldn't do anyone else any good. He said, "Nope, F them, they can figure it out!"

What are people like that?

yup

That Guy probably wanted to sell the Tuner on E-bay.

Once rolling they are pretty nimble. The twin cam pulls nicely. Congrats, nice pick up. Needs cams and a tune. And 103 upgrade. Might as well do heads as long as they're off............
Peruse the audio section here, all kinds of info on speakers and head units. The stock speakers aren't great, much better options out there. For real improvement, an amplifier is your friend. That audio section will help you spend money just like the tech sections!

thanks Hoss ! the guy who did my C5 does Harley head units and speakers too, I'll check with him too

One thing I've found is that the music source matters. I have stock head unit and and changed to Boom! speakers in the front (free), when listening to music from the FM tuner it's pretty rough, but using an ipod plugged in is much better quality, either set of speakers.

I was told also that MP3 is not the best format for sound, and depending on the bitrate you can get a better quality sound, I agree FM compared to CD's or portable players - big difference 
Merry Christmas to all in case I forget and thanks for all the great info and tips, now I need to ride......

 Street Tuner part number (on the box) is 41000008- limited to EPA legal tunes.
If the box part number is 32109-08(A,B, etc) it's a Super Tuner- complete functionality "for off road use only"

One other question, while checking OIL and trans levels, I see a pigtail hanging down from the seat, right side, I didn't take the seat off but what what I've been reading these bikes came with a battery tender pigtail? is this true ?
thanks

[kd]

My 2011 didn't.  It was probably added and may even double as a plug in for electric clothing. I have doubles for the passenger too.

[Coyote]

If it looks like this connector then it's a float charge pigtail.

[kd]

I use those for my charger and with an adapter for my heated gear.  My CTEK lithium battery charger is a separate configuration and an extra plug hanging out there. They tuck up out of sight until needed.

I had a 2010 Ultra. The big problem was with the cats in the headpiece it was a pig, slow with terrible pick up..A Fuel Moto head pipe turned it into a different bike.

Headpipe and tune? Even with the stock pipe a tune helps make better power.

[SixShooter14]

cools them down as well. I've been on a couple stock TCs and whew, they get hot when you're stuck in construction or just stopping at lights.

[Pete_Vit]

I have to really examine the pipes, from what I see they are not a stock head pipe  they are Rinehart True Dual's and the bike has been tuned.
Took my first real ride yesterday to Petite-Jean, lots of hills and twisty turns, I have to say the front end feels much lighter thru the turns than the Springer, it was a great ride, now for a set of speakers, the back 2 sound like they are blown
