Popping back firing
I'm a new Harley owner. Before my street bob all I have ridden are Suzuki and Kawasaki cruisers. With the Street Bob I have some issues with popping when I let off the throttle. This only happens in second and very occasionally in third. Am I riding like an idiot? (Based only on the popping, I know I might be an idiot in other ways). Is this maybe a tuning issue? I did get the heavy breather but the exhaust is basically stock. I went for the download from harley for the new intake. Not sure what is going on but any advice or things to try would be awesome.

I bet the download is causing your poping sound.Decel Popping is caused by unburnt fuel in the exhaust system igniting due to air recursion and here you have added gas to a bike that didn't need any adjustments. If you change ex or intake , one without the other, there is no tuning necessary. I'm both surprised and not surprised your dealer didn't tell you that. Meaning; I'd be surprised your dealer did not know that and I'm not surprised he watched your hard earned money slide accross the counter to him.

The download is useless. I believe it's mainly for emissions, haven't heard anything good from getting the download. My buddies wide glide does the same thing (SE Ventilator & V&H Short Shots) like a tommy gun.
Get a good tuner (tts mastertune, thundermax, or power commander) when you get your choice of pipes. Dyno time on a semi-stock bike would be a waste.
