Congrats on the new bike, and welcome to the M8 club. You are going to love it!
did you run the Rineharts with the sock header?
Would I need a tuner if I just installed slipons?

You can probably get away with just the slip-on's and no tune. But if you toss a breather in, that's pretty much a stage one and would require a tune. But if you stick with the H-D tuner, you can run an auto-tune and do it yourself with pretty good results from what I understand.

However, the Rinehart's are not EPA compliant, so be sure to keep your stock slip-ons in the event you need warranty work.

As for me, when I went with the Rineharts, I also added a Fuel Moto decated header and dyno'd with a Power Vision tuner. Again, not warranty friendly, but the results were outstanding in both performance enhancement and sound.

My personal opinion if you're wanting to keep your warranty is the S&S MK 45 slip ons with the stage 1 SE breather and SE tuner once the break in period is over.

It will sound better the more miles you start racking up and things "break in".

Nice ride btw! I really want those black face gauges!

Yeah I always liked a white harley as well. Strange, for such a common color you really dont see many white ones around. Mostly black and blue.

But I'm happy with my rare laguna orange. lol
