Putting slip ons and K&N air filter (stock intake).

Will reflash be necessary?

You'd be doing your self a favor by having a tuner installed . Changing the stock pipes will probably reveal more popping on decel than the stock ones , especially if you change the filter as well . The bike is already running lean , adding those will make it even more . Going with a Power Vision or FP3 would be a good idea , and if you ever decide to go with a set of cams , you can easily dial it in without having to spend more $$$ to get it done .

I did the same add ons to my 16 Deluxe, I went with the FP-3 works great, bike runs a little cooler no surging at low cruise speeds, 99% less decel pops. Good luck with whatever you decide, Ride Safe.

What year is your bike? If it’s a new model, then you may want to let the dealer do the flash/tune because of the warranty.

We can talk about an FP3 on Sunday! I have one and it's the easiest DIY tool out there!

If you can go to profesional with dyno tuner, do the modification in the dyno. is better than Power vision or FP3.
