You may or may not. In 2009, the only touring Harley's that had cats were ones that were sold in California and ones that were sold outside the USA. I thought my bike had one too but I read this information online. I took my right side muffler off, looked in the head pipe with a flashlight and no cat. Just a hollow headpipe. 2010 and later had the cat in the headpipe. If your bike wasn't sold new in California and wasn't originally sold outside the USA, you shouldn't have a cat. I would take your right side muffler off and shine a flashlight in there. If it is hollow, you don't have a cat.

If your bike ain't got a canister (Cal model) it ain't got a cat.
