RE: Newbe Question
Hey Thanks for all the fine input, I went back to the dealer today to pick up the paperwork and my a/c junk lol and told the salesman that the pipes sounded like Shi+, he said that the bike was tuned for the those pipes and if I altered them or did a change over that I would have to do a remap or some other bull $hit thing ..................... Live and learn!

RE: Newbe Question
I have cycleshack slip ons for that bike if you are interested. Only got about 500 miles on them. You will need a remap though, get a bit of poppingon decel. If that don't bother you then no worries.
Putting full set of V&H BSS on very soon.

RE: Newbe Question
When you look through your paper work, did the dealer do a remap for your stage 1? If so, you could probably put a different set of slip-ons which sound better without any problems.

Add another vote for V&H.
As far as the "tuned for those pipes" go, they probably did a hi-flo download to keep the fuel levels correct. No clue for sure, but I'd guess if you went with another slip you'd still be okay. Especially if you went with Rush...my understanding is that Rush slips work with the Harley downloads.

My WG sounds awesome with the V&H Big Shots Staggered. I would recommend these pipes to anyone. Get the pipes that will make you happy and sell the SEs on EBay. Just because they don't sound great to you doesn't mean that someone else doesn't want them.

RE: Newbe Question
I got the Screamin' Eagle slip ons and was less than impressed. The other day we pulled the baffles out and removed all the horse-hair. Then we put the baffles back in and it makes a big difference. Still not REAL loud, but it sounds a lot better. And it was free.
