2011 WG. Need help
I just picked up my new wide glide yesterday. I am now looking at pipes and air cleaner. I am thinking the Vance and Hines short shots. Not sure on what intake though. Any suggestions??? Also the dealer said it would be better to have them remap it then put a fuelpak or any type of fuel management on it? Is this true. This is only my 2nd harley. First that I am actually doing mod work myself.

Me thinks the dealer is wanting more profit....which there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Just installed the V&H Bigshots staggered on my '10 WG last month and love them. I can hear the bike now. Also installed the K&N high flow filter and did the Fuelpak myself. No problems other than finding where the Fuelpak fits under the seat in the electric box which was solved with a call to the company in CA.
Do it yourself and the ride will be more enjoyable!

not a great short shot fan , i like the wide glide exhaust set up , Ive got a fat bob ,& i really wanted to keep the stock pipe look , so i just went with the rush slash down slip ons , it all looks the same but sounds better , no need to do a map or tune .
The general rule seems to be , if your doing the pipes and a/c you will need some type of fuel upgrade , paks and others are changeable , chip over maps are set , ie . u will need to do a new map every time you change something , a fueller just needs a new set of numbers , so id do a plug in fueller if it was me .

I'm running V&H short shots with the SE heavy breather along with a PCV from Fuel Moto. Fuel Moto installed a map for me before they sent the PCV so it was ready to go right out of the box. I've been really happy!

I had short shots and a roland sands air cleaner on mine. Power commander 5 from fuel moto. It was a bad machine.

From what I understand, if you spend the money for the dealer to load the map, you'll have to pay them again if you make any more changes. I went with the PC-V from Fuel Moto. Great price, and all the options you'll ever need for future upgrades. Very good tech support, also.
I've been running mine in open loop for a couple of weeks, with the SE Stage 1 air cleaner kit and the Rush slip-on mufflers with 2" baffles. Sounds great, runs great, runs cooler. Running cooler was my main reason for the upgrades. These 96'ers run hot from the factory. I was really surprised at the amount of heat generated from these engines.
