Default Stage 1 upgrade

I have and 08 fat boy, and have purchased a set of Vance Hines big shots and a k&n filter kit. Will it hurt the bike if I install them and drive it aprox 10 miles to the dealer to get it remapped. Or should I hope St take my parts to the dealer and let them install????

No harm will be done. Instead of paying the dealer for another lean tune, why not buy a tuner for yourself.
