Bought the bike with PC3 and khrome werks slip ons that was dyno tuned to this setup. How far off will my defender 2-1 setup be? Should it be ok? Could it hurt the bike to ride until I find someone to tune it? Thanks!

 

Not far off and you ain't gonna hurt anything.

Mount them up and post up a picture for us. They have rewritten history on the Sportsters.

 

Thanks! I see the UPS coming now!! For my old ones off and bout to get to work!

 

It really depends on your build.
I had Bassani B1 exhaust and the header broke. Put on the V&H pro pipe hs. The bike ran good but stubborn to crank at times (most of the time)
Got my replacement Bassani and now it cranks really easy.
I did not want to spend the money on a new tune since I was going to replace them any way.
Just a thought.

 

Ok WTF how do get the exhaust snap ring back on! I have a pair of shitty snap ring pliers and they won't expand it enough! I'm about to lose it!!!

 

I did mine without snap ring pliers. Get one end started by prying it up and work it around the flange

 

It is not nearly as fragile as a piston ring. Real bikers do it with their teeth.

 

I've tried everything!!!

 

Before I had snap ring pliers, I used a pair of kitchen scissors. Just get the tips in there and open them up. It takes a little force, but it should work in a pinch.

 

Done! That took a lot longer than planned....used needle nose and a pair of extra hands! Looks awesome, haven't heard it yet because it's midnight. I'll post pics tomorrow and let ya know how she sounds.
