@@Bikerbug2020 I did think that maybe I would exchange, but decided that I like the look - and also figured that overtime, the black skid plate would scratch, and begin to look “dinged” up more than just a plain uncoated plate.
Those frame bolts can be a bugger for sure. Just installed mine over the weekend. Great piece of protection, and a good price. I had my plate powdercoated for some added protection and a cleaner almost invisible install. Great video and instructions.
Thank you for creating this video, I have the identical exhaust on my 2024 road glide CVO ST and I would like to make the exhaust louder so I’m going to go this route. Do you by chance have any videos of how it sounds now with everything removed?
BMW definitely make fine bikes! You don’t need to make any changes on a Harley. But one of the funnest things about a Harley is that you can make changes to make the bike your own. Harleys have a soul! 😃
You will definitely have more back pressure with the restrictors in place. I just don’t know that that it would make much of a difference, as the pipes without the restrictors have a fair amount of resistance back pressure by themselves. Only way to tell would be to dyno the bike, before and after to see if there was any HP loss. 🤔
Good morning hope all is well,how many miles did your bike have or those cvo st mufflers had when you did the extraction of the restrictor & fiber thread? I only have 14 miles on my bike lol it’s too quiet
@@ComplaintFree Just a heads up - the more miles on the exhaust, the harder it is to remove the fiberglass packing as it starts to break down and only comes out in pieces…
@@ComplaintFree If you are going to do it anyway, sooner is better than later. Otherwise you will need to rig up some sort of rod with a hook to pull out all the fiberglass.
I like the silhouette of the bike with that rear seat cowl. I think it would look perfect painted raven black metallic or whiskey neat. Your bik looks and sounds great. The Whiskey Neat is still my favourite colourway for the CVO RG.
Throw all those pipes away and put you a nice 2into1 stainless exhaust like I did on my 23 Roadglide-ST. More power and torque with a nice performance sound. Or buy a 2into1 with a dead pipe if you one of those that have to have pipes under hard bags.😂
The exhaust on the left side actually gets hotter faster and spits more exhaust. Ive checked with running mine, though i still have a 20 and not sure if they changed the flow for the 24. So really, your right muffler would be "quieter" or should be.
Unless maybe you have a true dual set up, the factory exhaust with all Harley Touring frames flow much less exhaust from the left side. Maybe you have a non-factory exhaust?
I installed one on my 2024 street Glide (non-CVO) and it works fine except any brake light flashing will stop as soon as I activate the turn signals. Maybe that is by design since the turn signal light is embedded within the brake lights. Having the brake light flash at a different rate can mask or confuse looking at the turn signal while that is flashing?
The behavior I experienced is correct. Per the instructions: 7. Turn power on and test for function of the turn signals, running and brake signals with desired setting. Confirm that the turn signal will override the brake signal when the brakes are applied.
Great looking bike. I like the color and contrast on the 23 vs 24 CVO. Unless you want to pay up for the orange upgrade, which looks pretty sweet. Not sure it’s 6k sweet though.
I hear you! Custom paint jobs are expensive! This one is called the Whiskey Neat, and Harley contracted with Gunslinger to paint it. I’ve been told that custom paint jobs can be in the $6-10,000 range!
Definitely thought the Tabs sounded better. I hate to give up the stock ST pipes, hoping the right change makes the difference. Can’t wait to hear the change. Subscribed!
I definitely understand that. The TABs were a bit louder and “thumpier”. I’m going to remove the fiberglass packing from the right CVO ST muffler and see how it sounds. My guess is that the volume boost will make it on par with the TAB loudness. A big difference in going with the CVO ST mufflers was the 10 lb weight difference! 😀
Good question! Harley touring bikes have their catalytic converter in the head pipes, and not the slip on mufflers. So changing the slip on mufflers will not void the warranty on the bike. But, of course, any warranty covering the muffler is voided. 😃
Very helpful video. You mentioned that you could stop if you only want to remove the restrictor but then how do you remove the rivet ends? Can you shake them out! Thank you.
Excellent video. My local dealer in Denver is going to install the Screamin' Eagle Extreme Flow Titanium Slip-Ons which are from HD cataloge (Part # 64901365) and are not off the Stock 2024 CVO ST. I'm installing on a 2018 Street Glide CVO. Are those the same ones you are working with in your Video? Also do they have any kind of Catalytic Converters? Thanks for the Video, it's very helpfull.

Great video. I would like to keep my exhaust as well if I could do this. Don't know if I have the patience, but may give it a try. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing! So you prefer the ST’s over the TAB’s correct? I’m waiting for my ST to arrive (in the Netherlands) and will definitely be doing the same 😎👌
Was there any performance issues after the st exhaust was changed, popping or backfire?? They both sound great I have an st trying to keep the look but to quiet.
Bike looks great, nice job. I just purchased a 24 CVO RG in Legendary Orange. I like the Skull graphics on the fairing and rear saddle bag. Where did you get those? Thanks.
