On most previous bikes I have owned I usually wait a little before modding. Deciding on parts. Waiting for stuff to arrive. Well I have the Rinehart slip-on's in the garage that came off of my RG trade-in that I am planning on using for a while. Would there be any harm in running them before the break-in period is done. Well outside of the desire to get on it that is.

 

Don't think so, I slipped my Pythons on with the bike under 200 miles and they're still there. Have had no problems.

Hack

 

supposed to have them remapped from what I hear

 

I don't see why you can't go ahead and add slip ons.
You can even add a high flow air cleaner as long as you do either a download or safe map from a SERT or PC III before you complete the break in. I wouldn't dyno the bike until 1000 miles.

 

Fuel Pak and hi-flo are on the way. It is just real hard to deal with stock pipes when I have a perfectly good set of Rineharts sitting there. Just wanted to make sure there was no harm in changing before the break-in. I have always waited before for the reasons ststed above.

 

No problem with installing them before break-in, we install slip ons all the way up to huge motor builds before break-in, but a proper map must be installed to keep it from being to lean. Thats where the problem comes from. Evan Rinehart slip ons are open enough to let the motor breath better and take an already lean map and make it leaner, 15 to 1 to 15.7 to 1 is lean enough stock, with open slip ons you can be into the high 16 to 1 range. that will burn a motor down by a 1000 miles.

 

No problem with adding the slip ons especially if you are adding the high-flow and fuel pak. Did the same to my 08 Ultra with only 4 miles on it. Great combo IMHO. Good luck.

 

hey great bike . i have the same. same color also. it may not run w/out stage 1 d/load.good luck.

 

Did the Stage 1 as soon as I brought the Roadie home @ 37 miles

 

My bike came new from the dealer with V&H Classics. No reason/need to wait for break-in.

You know as well as the rest of us...these bikes demand mods as soon as you roll 'em off the lot. They get pissy if you don't start decking them out immediately. Just like a woman with her gold & diamonds, HD's demand bling too!
