If you like the look of 2 into 1 pipes go with one of the big name brands that you like (V&H pro pipe, White Bros E series, etc.) if not I would use any of the V&H pipes with the Power Chamber. I believe Python has pipes that look just like the Big Shots Staggered from V&H for less money (they have the power chamber too), a quality air cleaner (SE, Ness), and a PC or rejet (you didn't say if you are carbed or efi'd)
Have fun

Before anybody can make an intelligent answer, you need to provide just a tad more info. Specifically, what are your goals?

Kind of like asking, "what tool should I use?"

Agreed, minor could mean aftermarket gas cap to a non-wrencher. Minor could mean pipes/intake and re-jet to a wrencher.

Well, I tried to come up with an intelligent answer based on the question and the fact that he posted the question in a forum called "Engine/Fuel/Intake/Exhaust". Sorry to disapoint. Anyway, I hope it was helpfull to the guy that asked the question.

No disapointment and no worries. Good advise to a very broad question.

badmo, How do you like that new Nightrain? My 05 is gone, just waiting on the check in the mail from the insurance company and healing. I'll be getting mine in a couple monthes, depending on the whole walking thing. Here's a pic of it just before riding up to Myrtle Beach in the spring.

Love it! No regrets all. Wish I had the cash for the mods I want to do. But after what feels like buying a house I will have to wait a couple month's. Good looking train you had. Hope you heal up quick, and get back on the horse and ride again soon.
