Default Is it safe?

I have installed the V&H Pro Pipes on my 05 Deluxe. I replaced the V&H Big Shots. It runs decent in 1-3rd gear but when I get into 4 & 5th I can tell it needs tuned. It was tuned with a HD canned download when the 95" was put in and still had the Big Shots on. Question is, will I hurt anything if I ride before I can get it dyno'd? I just rode it a few miles and can tell in the higher gears it is not quite right. Runs OK, but not like it can or should. Any help is appreciated.

To be on the safe side I would dyno asap. You could be running rich or lean.
