Question FXFBS with Slip ons....

I know most agree that if one does either an intake or slip ons but not together a tuner isn't a necessity. Since the Fat Bob 114 has the open intake from the Mother Ship would installing slip ons require a tune ASAP? The dealer installed S&S Grand National slip ons without the dB reducers before they put the bike on the floor. I do plan on getting a PCV from Fuel Moto just not right away.

It’s weird, because the moco’s own literature says that installing the ventilator ac requires a remap. But I bet the stock 114 has the same stock map as others without the ventilator. Guessing.

i have the Fat Bob 114 and confirmed with Rinehart and S&S that no tuner is needed when installing their slipons on this bike, even though it has the hi flow ac.

i rode a bit without a tuner and all was well. Then I put on the HD Pro Street Tunee and don’t notice a difference.

So you should be just fine!

Very informative post. I thank you.

The 114 equipped Fat Bob's come with the Ventilator intake already installed, correct?

Yes it does, including the high flow back plate.
