What did the plugs look like before slip-ons? If all you added was the slip-ons there won't be any change.

White indicates lean, but HDs (newer) are sent out running lean, so that's why I ask what the plugs looked like before.[&:]

I never looked at them before and the test rider at the stealer said it ran fine ? That is when the manager said I could burn a hole in a piston !

OK, well, I'm just offering what I have heard and my own experience:

I asked four different dealers this same question when I first bought my bike new last June. " Will it hurt to put on slip-ons?" I got a mixed bag of answers but finally the dealer I trust in Vancouver gave me the info. and I have heard it confirmed here...Intake is the one to worry about, if you open up the intake with a hi-flo A/C you will run lean and hotter so you should get some kind of fuel mgmt system i.e. SERT, stage 1 download, PC3, TMAX...etc etc.

Just slipons won't change anything coming in. I put cycleshacks on at about 2000 miles and ran forabout another 2000 miles before I put on my AC and I had no problems, I got the stg 1 download when I put on the AC. in fact, the dealer told me not to put on the A/c at home and then ride the 20 miles infor the download, hesaid go ahead and put it on in our parking lot just before the download, and that is what I did.
