Hi
Looking for some advice.
Have 2013 Road King Classic, looking to fit the above exhausts but don't want to do any other mods.
Local dealer said I will have to do a stage one conversion or i'll damage the engine.
looking for guidance please

 

Only need stage one if you change the air filter from a stock configuration

 

your dealer is full of crap. find another dealer. put the mufflers on and ride it, won't hurt a thing.

 

I'am running V&H Twin Slash with no other mods on a 14 RK, you should be fine if that's all you do.

 

I ran the Vance & Hines slip ons on my 13 for 3,500 miles no problems, I am now running them on my 14 have 1,600 miles on them with no problems. Roll with it you will be fine. You are still restricted by the stock headers so you really are not changing much. I would ask him how it will damage the engine? the dealer flash is a rip off, another way for them to make a penny. I would tell them your going to put a Power Vision on it from Fuel Moto then see what other crap they come up with to tell you.

 

Thanks for the replies,


They told me that the engine would run lean and burn valve/piston out, also that I'd experience reduced power and also over-run on deceleration with backfiring a possibility.


Thanks for the replies

 

I run them too. Love them. Dealer is Full of Chit. Ride on. Eastern Performance has them cheapest. Check their website and their eBay site.

 

Thanks for the advice, any views on a Bassini exhaust? Have got a cracking offer from E bay.


Would their slip ons require a fuel pack or am I good to go

 

They told me that the engine would run lean and burn valve/piston out, also that I'd experience reduced power and also over-run on deceleration with backfiring a possibility .... And your girlfriends clothes would fall off in the middle of the intersection if you revved it too high ??? .... Change the mufflers and enjoy the ride. If her clothes do fall off, of course we'll need pictures :>)

 

Dealer is kinda right. Stock Harleys are set up pretty lean from the factory, and putting better flowing pipes on should make it run even leaner. Stock air filter flows is good enough at lower throttle and RPM settings, so should not be an issue.

Might be a good idea to clip on a set of VIeds to add a little extra fuel in any case.
