Default 2012 Iron 883 upgrade question.

Hello everyone let me start by saying my bad if this has been mentioned before. I did a search for my question but couldn't find the exact answer with this particular year. I purchased an Iron 883 fresh from the dealer floor with 5 miles on it 2 months ago..now i have over 1500 miles.I already did the 1st big tuneup checkover from the dealership. Ok here his my question. I am purchasing the V&H Big Radius 2 into 2 exhaust and am also going to get a new air cleaner..not 100% sure on which air cleaner but def not a rinky dinky one. I was wanting to know with doing both of those do i have to do anything else as far as rejetting or remapping etc?

Mine ran pretty lean after using the NHRS air cleaner and 2:1 Bobcat pipes. Kinda knew that would happen so I planned for a remap. Tried the HD remap since it was provided with SEST but that too wasn't that great so we remapped it on the dyno.

I was thinking about using the v&h fuel pack with the new exhaust and air cleaner. All should be good hopefully. I consider my bike like my kid so i dont want to do wrong to it.

I would say the best would be getting PowerVision an you can tune it any way you want as opposed to fuelpak where you can datalog and adjust all the parameters instead of just fuel. Unfortunately, the wife gifted me the SEPST so that is what I have. Similar things but not as nice an interface or datalog. Still pretty good if you have someone dyno tune it for you.

The question is whether you have a trustworthy shop there or not.
