whats up guy, got a question... i would like to put some vance and hines short shoots on my bob. would this be a bolt on mod?? i read people talking about downloads and stuff lik that...bike has 100 miles on it
thank you

 

I super glued mine on. They make this great hissing sound in between motor backfires.

Seriously, I installed my Side Shots in about an hour although I'm sure it's not the mechanics of the install you question. If you are just installing the pipes and you have a stock air cleaner, you can get away without any remapping since essentially, you're not moving more air.

If you install a performance air cleaner, get ready for a host of options and opinions.

Hope this helps.

 

As long as you don't mess with the air cleaner yup you can just bolt em right on. The harley service manual says so. the thing is though is you will be puttin on bigger pipes so really to make the engine work good you gotta get more air into it, ie: the stage I kit & download

 

no i know how to wrench ive built some 350 and stuff like that i just wanted to know if i have to do anything to the electronics and stuff like that...im not really interested into performance...i just want a nice sound coming out of the pipes.....

 

I remember thinking the same thing. I dare you to tattoo that![8D] Good luck!

 

so when i out the short shots on should i take it to the dealer and have something done to it??? should i get a new filter with some type of download????? what downlaod should i ask for??

 

My opinion.... the download isn't enough. The download just barely enriches it, but does bump up the rev limiter. Skip the download and use that $ towards a phueler. Also, K&N philter.

Lot's of options on both phueler and philter back plate.

Honestly I wouldn't go with a V&H exhaust system without changing the intake and adding a SERT/PCIII/TFI

 

Does any new guy bother to search for stuff anymore? There are about a hundred threads relating to exhaust on these forums.
