Hi to all members. After searching for many years, I've bought my first Harley. A '03 one owner V-rod w/ 3400 miles. Run and drivers like a dream. The bike came with a extra set of pipes which I installed a week after I brought it home and fell in love with the sound. The previous owner said they were too loud and switch back to the original stock pipes. The bike didn't respond well with the after-market Rinehart pipes so I switched back(not wanting to cause any damage).
The advise I'm getting is that I need a tuner in order to run the Rinehart pipes, as well as dyno-tuned. Cost for this service estimates to be $1500 and up. Other riders w/ fuel injection motors simply paid to "re-map" their fuel system for a nominal "down-load" fee which is what I expected to pay. I'm wondering why it is different for a V-rod vs other Harley's? One is air-cooled, one is liquid cooled.

welcome from new York
install a power commander v and your problems are over. won't cost you near that much. when you change exhaust and air cleaner you need to add fuel weather its air or liquid cooled.
