Default When to put on new pipes

Got my rocker c&nbsp\\;6/24 and I have about 430 miles on it now.&nbsp\\; I want to change the stock pipes.&nbsp\\; My question is: Should I wait until 500 miles before I change anything or should I just wait until my 1000 mile check up?&nbsp\\; Thanks

Ok... I didn't know if changing the exhaust in the middle of breaking in the engine would cause any harm.

Thanks for the reply.&nbsp\\; I appreciate it.

Its better to put them on asap so the engine breaks in with them on. They always say break it in like you will run it all the time. Thats what we do with cop cars.

Go all the way. Don't stop @ pipes, change a/c to low
restiction and add a fuel management product. You will
be a&nbsp\\;very happy camper!

Hell change anything you want. If they have to take anything off while they are checking it out and you like something different tell them to put it on. Maybe they wont charge you installation since the part is already off.

You can change your pipes and intake at any time but HD will probably wait to Dyno it until 1,000 miles.
