Do I need a tuner or map

If I add a slip-on to my 2007 Deluxe (now all stock) will I need a stage one download or engine tuner? I figured that if I add both a high flow filter and muffler I will need something.

I would probably add a PC III but it might be OK just to do a stage 1 download? What equipment is needed for the download? Is this something that a dealer has to do or can the software be loaded on to a PC and feed to the ECM???

Thanks

Save yourself a whole lotta trouble and just get a power commander. The old lady has an 06 RK and it ran poorley after the download and the dealer couldn't make it right. So skip ahead and I installed a power commander and we had to try a couple of maps to get it just right and now it's good. Oh and having said that I have an 07 Sg and it has the download and after some 24,000 I took the original plugs out and they were white and looked like they had just been put in. So there ya go even with the down load it's really lean

Just adding slip-ons doesn't require a tuner or map but it would run better.

Pc iii

I have a PC III I could put on but in looking at the DynoJet web site, I can't tell which map to use for the Cycle Shack slip ons with the stock air cleaner and stock ECM. I also have a K&N 3909 that I was thinking of adding but I really wanted to add it to my road king and take off the HD high flow filter. I guess I could transfer that one to the Deluxe but still, the maps for the Deluxe on the DynoJet web site few and far between. That site mentions an O2 sensor eliminator and I am not really sure what that is. I installed the PCIII on the 03 Road King and it was pretty simple to install and clearly helped performance over the stage one download. Thanks for helping out if you have any experience with what I am dealing with here.

Your bike will run fine with 1.75 slipons. Running them on two 08s with no problems. May also be fine with 2.0s but I've read where some have had problems.
