Default FatBoy Tuning with new exhaust help

I plan on istalling V/H big radius tmrw on my 2012 Fatboy Lo! I ordered a tuner which is on the way. Will it be ok to ride my bike with the new exhaust without the tuner for a short period of time or am I at risk of harming my Engine? I'd appreciate any input Thanks!

If it's running bad enough to do damage, you'll know it. Ride it.

A lean running bike is not a good thing. Especially an air cooled bike.

Since you WILL be tuning it soon, go ahead and ride it for a little bit. Remember this... your pipes may very well turn blue or gold, tho.
