Ok - I have used the search function and read and read....
BUT - all I want to do is make my bike a little louder - call me vain, a wuss, a RUB, or a poser - don't care.
What I can't seem to get a straight story on is (1) will I hurt anything by just adding Rush 2" slip ons to the 09 Deluxe. It already runs lean - will this make it even hotter? (2) Will it run like "crap" like my dealer tech told me?
The dealer said just pipes = possbile damage and poor performance.
To do anything I MUST (?) go full stage one with SERT, pipes, and A/F?
This is my first EFI bike and all I want right now is a little more sound.
Any help from a real wrench or someone with new EFI experience would be really appreciated.
I put rush slip ons with 2 inch baffles on my 09 fatty sounds and runs great no mapping. 2 weeks later after the efiadjusted added xieds to richin it up. Runs cool and great and good sound total cost under 400.
Harley Corperate claims a full stage 1 can be done to any 07 or newer efi Harley with no modifications! if your dealer tells you otherwise, they are lieing or just don't know any better.
Here is a link to a write up the AMA did on 07's . Bill Davidson says a full stage 1 with no mods.
