Default So I installed the V&H BSS

finally... I had the SEII's with Stage 1 dl and K&N filter... now I've read the posts about not installing a full exhaust if you don't have a sert, pciii, etc, however but what about having the Stage 1 download?? When I took off the stock exhaust and pulled the shields off I noticed the head pipes did have a blue tint to them...the SE2s have been on for 2 years. I do plan on doing a tuning package (currently looking going with Thundermax), but a friend of mine suggested getting the bike dyno'd as is to see where I'm at...hp, torque, AFR...

I rode the bike yesterday for about 20 miles and seems to ride fine...no back firing, popping, etc... runs great with the new pipes....but I'm wondering how long I should ride it without doing the tuning?? Should it be done right away, or just see how it goes??
thanks
