Default New heads for 2010- no exhausts

I just spoke to Dennis Kirk Tech Support and they said the heads on the 2010 are different and the 2009 exhaust pipes don't fit due to the new design.

havent had a problem fitting exhaust. there are no down loads for the ecm's as of yet, so the bikes can not really be tuned properly...

The rear cylinder head on the 2010's are using the -06 pn# and the front head is using the -08 pn#. Why pre tell does Dennis Kirk think they are different?

I called Harley, and found info on the net. H-D said the heads are different and 09 pipes will not match up right. I guess I'll be waiting for the manufacturers to catch up before that Stage 1 happens.
