first dyna
Hows it going, just purchased my first harley. I have been riding dirtbikes my whole life and had a crotchrocket for a while. Have always wanted a harley as everyone in my family rides. Yesterday i bought a 2009 fxd bone stock. i love it and already have a couple plans for it. I was planning on doing a 2 into 1 pipe(maybe a TH but open to suggestions) and given my dirtbike background i am definitely planning on doing a forbidden riser/protaper bar set up. i was just wondering, if i do the exhaust, do any other mods have to be done to support that? I am totally new at working on these bikes. thanks in advance!

Welcome. Congrats on your first HD.
First get yourself a service manual. That and these forums will get you thru a lot of projects and problems. Make sure your bars and risers will fit and are 1" bars. Not 7/8" as most of the dirt bike bars are.

Congrats on the bike, and welcome to the family! As far as doing the exhaust, you can get away with just a pipe, but once you do an air cleaner, then you will need a fuel management as well, such as a power commander, power vision, fuel pack, etc.
The bikes run a little lean from the factory, so you might get some decel popping from the exhaust, without a programmer, but it wont hurt anything. Again, congrats, ride safe, and have fun!!

thanks guys. I was just checking because I am not planning on dumping money into the bike right away. Maybe just bars and an exhaust for now,
then see what happens over the winter. I believe the forbidden risers come sleeved to hold 1 1/8 dirbike bars. as for a pipe, looking for a 2 into 1 still doing research i wont pull the trigger for a few weeks anyway. this site will definitely be a big help because i like to work on my own cars and bikes and i have no experience working on harleys yet! thanks in advance lol

you may need longer cables depending on the riser/bar rise, if so stock street bob/fxdb cables will work up to bout 13/14 inches. can get some used stock cables on here or ebay maybe for cheap. im not sure how much rise you can go on FXD cables.
