If you buy online, just make sure the pipes fit the make an year model of your buke. There are lots of choices out there. Enjoy your search for the "right" pipes and welcome to the forum.

Pipes are Pipes as long as you get the ones for your engine and bike, they dont make differnt ones for carb vs FI bikes
but depending on your pipe you may need to get a fuel managment re-map downloaded

you can either have an O2 sensor bung installed at a loca lexhuast shop, or get a dummy sensor thingy that negates the need of havign an o2 sensor installed

+1.......you don't have to worry about the O2 sensors, since your bike doesn't have the closed loop system that the newer Harleys have.

That's what I thought...I looked at the pipes and saw no wires or O2 sensors I thought they had them being a FI...Told you I was a newbie...LOL...So I'm O.K. going with just the regular pipes then...

Thanks to all who posted!!!!
