Default V/H slipons.

Another question about slipons. I have searched the threads, but, anyway.I have 09 StreetBob. Gonna change exhaust. I like the way the stock pipes lay, but there's no music comin out. If I use just the slipons,I've heard I don't need to do the Stage 1 flash or Fuel Pak if I leave the a/c stock. I'm settin her up this way temporarily till late this summer. Am Igonna be ok, or is this gonna make her run too hot(lean).I just need som nice sound for the time bein.I know this has been discussed alot, but could really use some advice. thanks!

when i got my bob, it had V&H slipons, and stock AC, had a bit of a surge, but runs fine.

Its really when you flow more air you need to tune it.

I would say you would be fine, but like you said lots of opinions out there.

If all your after, is to change the exhaust sound you'll be fine.

Without changing the A/C you won't be flowing in any more air, so no re-map needed.

I did that with my 07 Sreet Bob, after every ride I woukd pull the plugs and each time they looked almost white. I know it's hard to read spark plugs with unleaded fuel so I installed the V & H fuel pack and now the are light brown. Runs great, less heat, peace of mind.
