Stock satin finish for Fat Boy Lo mufflers TAB Performance of Lincoln, Nebraska, have introduced a slip-on muffler for Harley’s Fat Boy Lo that maintains the stock satin look. Featuring a removable baffle core to allow sound tuning, TAB say that “double digit gains in horsepower” can be expected from these mufflers when installed on a “properly tuned” stock bike. TAB also provides auto-tuning fuel managers and air filters to complete a stage one performance upgrade. TAB say that their slip-ons are also available in a high performance black ‘cermet’ finish, which is an exact match to the heat shields that Harley uses on their headers. Being a cross between ceramic and metal, ceramic particles are bonded together with a nickel binder to produce tools that are capable of running at higher speeds than conventional carbide tools – producing a very smooth surface. Unlike the ceramic finishes that are said to be commonly used by other manufacturers, TAB say that “our ‘cermet’ finish is a twocoat process creating superior heat and abrasion resistance qualities, and is the exact same finish used by Harley-Davidson for their heat shields – so there is no question about the finish matching the rest of the bike.” TAB PERFORMANCE Lincoln, Nebraska, USA Tel: [phone] Fax: [phone] E-mail: [email protected] www.tabperformance.com
