Default SHORT SHOTS

I just bought a 2008 NIGHT TRAIN, if I don't change the A/C can I install Vance and Hines short shots without the download??

Yup, once you drop the 18 grand on a new bike its tough to spend another 1,000 on pipes and fuel management/ac

when I bought my 05' I ran it with SEII slip on mufflers for about a year and a half with no other mods. When I changed to PCIII anda high flow A/C I put on different pipes.

anyhow, as long as you don't mess with the air cleaner, you can run whatever kinda pipes you want.

Sure can! That's exactly what I did and it runs and sounds great. Should be a pic in my gallery.

If you don't care how it runs .... Go ahead .... Any issues, put the stock mufflers back on before taking itin for service.... Your leaving a door open for them... Break it in for the 500 miles while saveing some cash and do it all at the same time... There Lean out of the crate... At least run the quiet baffles for some back pressure...

Thanks for all the replies everybody, and to TROTTER, if I did not care how it runs I would not have asked the question. Guess there is a wise guy in every crowd.
