I have a similar setup, i ran the vance and hines power duals, with monster rounds, and the vance and hines fuel pack. It ran great and i have had no issues with that set up, everything is dialed in and runs great. I am two weeks away from listing all of that on craigslist though, i want louder so i am going back to my thunder header, i just ordered the power vision through Fuel moto and looking forward to a new set up. Cant go wrong with the vance and hines, but i would add a tuner of some type or it won't run right.

If I've posted it once, I bet I've posted it 43 times...

The FIRST thing a man should do when considering making changes is GET A TUNER. It will help a stock bike, and when you change pipes and or air cleaner, you're ready for it.

Can you run without a tuner? Yes.

Will you blow your engine up running without a tuner? Probably not.

Can you expect to get 50,000 miles out of your engine without a tuner? Most likely.

Will it run correctly without a tuner? No.

Dealers and their parts and service departments are a business, in business to sell motorcycles, and motorcycle parts and accessories. They tell you that you can get away without a tuner, because a LOT of guys won't come off the jack for a tuner, and they're afraid they'll lose sales if they tell you to get a tuner.

Changing the air flow without changing the VE tables is not beneficial. These bikes run lean from the factory, adding a more free flowing exhaust makes them run more lean.



Do what you want, I won't criticize, just trying to offer things to think about.

...but there is a reason I won't buy a used bike as my primary ride...
