'07 slip ons
Hey Now, I have a friend that going to buy an '07 Street Bob, I asked him if he was going to get any extras like different pipes he said no. He wanted to get some slip ons but was told he would have to have it remapped, now on my '06 I put some SE II slip ons and did not have to have it remapped. Are The '07s different has anybody else been told the same thing from the dealer?

'06s and '07s are basically the same. just some strokin' in the engine. sounds like the dealer just wants to cover his tail and sell a download.

RE: '07 slip ons
ya on my 05 fxdci i put an s&s ac and s&s slip on's with modded baffles and i havnt had any troubles. i think they have these bikes set pretty rich and closed up outta the factory so a ac and slips just get her breathin and exhaustin better. i have noticed the plugs are a little lighter in color but i run a fast 75-80 for a 100miles everyday to work and back. however i plan on a sert or dyna units to adjust the gas and spark.

RE: '07 slip ons
I'm about to add some Rush slip-ons on my 07, and was not planning on doing anything else anytime soon....
2ndary question: will it be ok to ad a K&N filter and not remap (or is that pushing it) ?

A fair bit of popping with my V&H slip ons installed today ... should I worry ? On long decel. Not backfiring or overly loud ... sounds much like my british sportscar does on decel so I quite like the sound.

Even with just changing mufflers the bike will run way leaner. It runs way better with the down load. better yet put a good tuner on it.

Both local dealers I talked to were adamant about remapping my 07 Super Glide when I approached them about purchasing slip-on's for it. (I'm doing a full set up later down the road). Having some minor experience working on my own bikes in the past I was leary of shelling out 150 for a download. Hell, the dealers are in business to sell you anything they can convince you to buy for your scooter ,right?
Well, I went to a guy who runs a tiny shop around the corner from me and after talking with him about a variety of pipes I approached him with the mapping thing. He gave me his honest opinion and told me that if I was only going to do slip-on's the re-map was not needed.
Now, mind you, this guy is a one man shop and he could have tried to sell me the map d/l just like the dealers to make his money and I may have not been the wiser. On the other hand, he could have sold me the pipes without mapping it and it could have run like **** and I would have been equally pissed. Instead, he was straight up with me and that will bring me back to him again cause their is now a layer of trust there.
The moral of the story is, buyer beware. Ask around alot before making suspect purchases like d/l's and the like. The more info your friend has beforehe spends, the better off he'll be.
