The slip ons are very easy; the Big Sucker isn't very hard either. just take your time and follow the instructions; don't just look at the pictures...like I do! Regarding the "driving around for 100 miles, you'll be fine.
I'm not sure what your "financial status" is, but I would suggest a "full exhaust" system (i.e V&H or equivent) and a Power Commander....just my 2 cents.

The hardest part is getting the mufflers off. Mine were a bitch. Maybe being a new bike it will be a little easier.
Good Luck!

I had some Rinehart slip-ons on an old bike and the instructions said to use Windex to get the old mufflers off. Just spray the ends after you take the clamps off and wait a few minutes and they came right off. I've used this process with the last two bikes and the mufflers come off very easily.
