Default Exhaust

Hey guys I just bought an 07' Fatboy and I just put on the Vance & Hines Big Radius. I installed them myself which your right with no real mechanical know how was still pretty easy. My question though is with them installed I rode around a while and the bike ran fine. So what risk do I run riding without the AC and PCIII?

You're not really risking anything, but you're also not getting nearly what you could get out of your bike if you added a high-flow air filter and a Power Commander or similar. Do that, and you'll really have something.

no risk at all. the service manual says you can put on any pipes you want as long as you don't mess with the ac
