On the CVO models you're just gonna need an exhaust and tuner. You've already got an upgraded AC. Go with a D&D Fatcat with whatever tuner you or the wrench is comfortable with.

Depends what you are looking for. I can't say enough nice stuff on the advice and help from fuel moto. I ordered a power vision and they loaded a map on it for what i needed, i then auto tuned it and got it where i was happy in one 30 minute run. If you want loud, i love my thunder header. My favorite pipe and what i just went back to

Hey JimT, I'm right up the 15 in Oak Hills.
What you are asking is subjective and really depends on what you want to get out of the engine performance and sound wise.
On my 14 CVO Limited I changed out the 255 cams because the majority of my riding is on our SoCal and out of state highways where the speeds are 80 or more. The 255 cams signed of at that spend and offered poor performance. I changed out to S&S 570 cams and could not be happier.
The air cleaner you have on the bike is a good one. I changed mine to the S&S teardrop air cleaner because I like the old school look of it and it performs very well.
IMO, you'll want to get rid of the cat in the stock head pipe or get a different head pipe. The cat gives out a lot of heat and although not as bad a some cats, does cause a restriction of exhaust flow. I had the V&H Power Dual head pipe and liked the performance of it but as always dragging the center heat shield in right handers. I changed that out for the S&S Power Tune head pipe and could not be happier.
If you'd like, shoot me a PM and we can discuss more.

Congrats on the new bike!!!
I would try going with a Free Flowing Air Cleaner that vents externally, like the Outlaw 587 or the 636v. These Air Cleaners vent externally, this way all of the hot, dry, oily air isn't allowed to get back in. Engines like cool dry air.
As for the tuner, not sure what you have considered but Devin and Kevin both use the Power Vision and are 100% satisfied! One of the many good things about the Power Vision is it is delivered to you with a Custom Map, for Your Bike, already installed in it. You can plug it in, load the new tune into your bike, unplug it, and be riding with the New Tune in 5 minutes. The PV also has the auto tune feature. And you can't beat the unlimited lifetime technical support.
For your Exhaust you can always go to your local bike night and take a lisen at all the different exhaust, this will let you hear in person the different sounds. This way you get the sound you like best.
Hope this information helps you out, good luck on your new set up
Kelsey
