Default FXCWC ROCKER with Big Radius

Hello!

I am a very pleased owner of a FXCWC Rocker since 4 months,and I just installed Vance and Hines's Big Radius exhausts.I haven't placed any high flow air filter,just the stock one and also I haven't removed the baffles from the exhausts.I thought I was going to need some fuel management too,but the bike seems to run perfectly.
My question is: Can I leave the bike as it is since it runs smoothly or i am harming the bike in some way?
Is it necessary to buy some fuel management or do some upgrade to Stage 1?

Sorry guys If my question seems foolish ,but I am a beginner in the world of Harley Davidson.

Thank you.

You should be fine, just changing the exhaust.

Use search button and you will find tens of opinions/answers. I just ordered Big Radius as well and i am very confused actually about the fuel management. Dealer told me i need definitely VH fuelpack otherwise i might have problems. Also i found lots of opinions here on forum in old threats saying its neccessary something but also opinions it is not. And what is even more confusing for me, if i decide to put some fuel management, which one?

PCIII - they say its not for Rocker due not enough place but some guy did installation anyway
New version V Commander - looks smaller than PCIII so it should be more easy to put on Rocker but according Dynojet, it is also not for Rocker
Fuelpack - some guys says no with commets it has limited possibilities
SERT or new version SE super tuner - more expansive and i also readed some negative opinions....

So i am just confused.... I ordered the pipes only and will thing about it......

with just the pipes you should be good to go. I just put XIEDS on and the motor runs cooler and seems happy.
