Now I need some opinions from you guys on pipes and stage one.
Since the 2010 only has one pipe anyway, I'm thinking that opens my options up a bit.
RB racing (per Greenman) do look good. Any other opinions?
Also, what about stage one? I have it on my RKC with SE slip on's and it for sure "feels" like it has more torque than the road glide that is 96" as opposed to the King that is 88".
Not sure if it is an actual payoff or not?
Also, anyone know if there is a good reason why I couldn't just use my car GPS? The ones they make for motorcycle are almost 10X as expensive.
I see no reason to buy the ones for the motorcycles the car ones work just fine. My wife holds our in the backseat. Let's her tell me where to go for a change!!!haha...

Check on eBay.
Most of the GPS manufacturers offer a handlebar mount for conventional "cage" GPS units.
I know Garmin and Tom Tom do - can't testify for the rest.

GPS? Half the fun of riding is getting lost. Until it rains or hails.

Yes, but a GPS has the ability to help you find the nearest watering hole.
Even when you're lost - there are priorities.

We're going to ride about 4,800 miles. Plenty of riding without getting lost or stuck in the dessert too far from a gas station.

A gas station is NOT a watering hole.

My son and a friend have gotten lost because of their GPS. And a gas station IS a watering hole. For the horse!
