2010 Road King Classic - First Run after removing catyltic converter

[Johnnytotal]

LOL peace. Thanks for sharing, don't know why you took it out. Over here the owners change the lot, just to get the engine breathing better. European regulations makes Harleys run weaker. God damn you got some shine on that bike.

[Reddleman1968]

Dude, MUCH better.

[Trishadadisha]

I have a 09 RKC was just wondering does that mess with all of your codes?

[smalltalkingchicken]

@Trishadadisha No, not at all. Well, not on a '10, in my experience. Good luck, let me know if '09 gives you an issue.

Sure defies syaing that bikes do not pollute. Sure great way to display how selfish some are when you decide to sacrifice the evinronment for no difference in the sound. Way to go americans

[smalltalkingchicken]

@hammernancy 1. Get a better hobby than internet BSing. 2. 99% of motorcycles get grandfathered in while bikes like mine get the short end of the stick. 3. Motorcycles worldwide comprise 4% of what automobiles worldwide do to pollute the earth, and that's with "dirty" pipes (Source: IPCA Study 2007). 4. I do not own a car, I only ride trains and bicycles, and overall my footprint is about 40% of the "average american" and 5. If you're pretending you're not selfish in some way, you are deluded.

@smalltalkingchicken Like I said you still don't ket it. what you say every one else is doing worse so it justifies my actions...very nice thinking!

[joewg3]

@hammernancy - Ratard. I threw a gum wrapper out my window today. Go have a nervous breakdown. Ratard. You're my bitch. I own you.

[hammernancy]

@joewg3 I am truly sorry if I made you feel that I expected your grade 3 brain to understand global and social issues linked to actions like this one. Go back to sleep in your selfish bubble. Hey if you get bored and can read grade 7 stuff look in the the paper you might find a story about an event in the Golf of Mexico caused by other selfish dough heads like you but the scale is so large that I don't expect you to understand so don't feel bad.

@hammernancy Americans? You're a fool! First off WTF are you doing looking at a video posting about American made motorcycles dumb ass. Second of all BP stands for British Petroleum and that company has done more damage to the oceans world wide. Your lucky we entered both World Wars to save your tea drinking ass or you would be speaking German and possibly Russian. Now get off the American made Internet invention and You Tube and go eat some Crumpets before I fuck your queen. Yours Truly USA.

if you want a rumble put a thunderheader pipe on it

[smalltalkingchicken]

@LaAnthony123 Working on it.

[jessiehicks1861]

one bad ass bike

[joewg3]

I love the narrative. This is a rare case where the narrative is better than the bike. Your bike is wicked by the way.

[smalltalkingchicken]

@joewg3 Haha, thanks. Much appreciated.

[smalltalkingchicken]

If i just kind of gut the thing, i'll end up damaging the engine by running it w/o proper cooling. Exhaust serves several purposes! Besides, I don't need it to be LLLOOOUUUDDD, i want it to have that sexy rumble. I know a EFI big twin can do it!

[64miguel]

now u see in the vid in 1:15 the bottom 2 chrome lines in the bottom of the back fender (or tire cover) is taht a 2010 roadking addition to the style looks? i have never really seen a roadking with the 2 chrome lines ?

[smalltalkingchicken]

That's a rear fender skirt, it's an aftermarket accessory from Harley. I think it looks cool, and I have a front one to match.

[64miguel]

i thin kit looks cool too :) now when do the next year's model come out? is it 3mnths befor ethe next year on sept? does harley ever come out with limited or sepcial edition for the roadking?

[smalltalkingchicken]

@64miguel Harley releases a new model year in the end of July of the preceeding year. The only special road kings I know of were the CVO/SE from 08, I believe. Bad mutha's but really rare on the market. Give it another 4-5 years and there will be another: there aren't THAT many harley's.

[redazi]

don t like the sound get you something load and let s roll

[Vstar1100kid]

you want loud get some stock tapered cans and debaffle it saw off right behing the baffle plate and pull everything out untill its a hollow re-install and turn on trust me you won't be dissappointed

[highland1961]

Great video and blog. When can I drop my '10 off?

[smalltalkingchicken]

Hey, thanks, I appreciate it!
