Default Two simple questions to answer

Prior to the accident, my UC was running 2-1 with false pipe Thunder Headers. The set was banged up enough to be replaced. Therefore, a new set of Thunder Headers will be installed soon. A Rivera Pro Clutch is being installed at the same time as the new Thunder Headers. The engine does not appear to be damaged, It start easily and sound like it's running strong, without skipping a note.

First question:

Because of the crash and new parts, Does anyone believe I should re-dyno the engine? If so, I want to change the breather system and perhaps move away from the Power Commander. before the bike heads to the dyno.

Second question:

Does anyone know if D&D Fat Cats fit nicely under FBI extended bags? I'm wondering if the muffler portion is to large, and worried about the bags not covering the muffs properly. I have never seen a set up as such, hense the question.

if you are running the same pipes you will not need a retune. clutch will not have an effect on the tune.

First i would call D&D and ask but if your going to get away from the PC and go to something different then don't bother just get your AC and new pipes then take it to get tuned. Do it right the first time and you will not spend extra money. good luck

That's what I thought, but figured with my luck it was best to ask.

Thanks guys.
