Unless there is something wrong with the exhaust, or you desire a different sound/look... I'm not aware of any requirement to change the exhaust after a certain amount of time or miles...

As soon as your pocket book allows and you decide on which one you want.

Ride Safe.

I had my new pipes waiting in the garage before I even picked up my bike.

Personal prefrence, I guess. You don't have to unless there is a serious functional problem. I like every other person I know have changed for sound, performance and look. Also when I got the $$$$.

When the muffler bearings wear out. But be careful, only use genuine HD muffler bearing lube or it will void your warranty.
