You can change exhaust, and don't have to do anything else. If you get a hiflow filter, put a fuel management system with it. that's as honest and straight as I can tell you. I put exhaust on mine and nothing else, and have never had any probelm with decel, popping or anything.

I agree on that statement, if you can go ahead and change the stock breather out and pipes and get a fuel management system at the same time. I tried to do it separate and so did my friends but we all eventually went with all three. I was trying to save money, but its best to bite the bullet and do it all at one time. But if your wallet can't handle all three, just get the pipes, nothing else.

there was no need to go dragging the military into it at all. As someone else said, you are on a harley site bagging your harley, what do you expect?

I do notice that many of you won't put your location on the web..... ashamed of where you live???
Just in case I was included in the above quote, I live in Callingwood, in the west end, Edmonton, AB, Canada. Anyone is welcome to PM me if they are in the vicinity. Take it easy on a guy having a bad day we all have em.

If you joined the Army in 68, then there is a good chance you are a vet, and I respect vets and what they did. It also means you were probably atleast 18 when you joined, putting you at 60 yrs old. Means you have years of riding and knowledge and experience that many of us can learn from. I respect that. But if those comments are the only kind of knowledge you want to share, keep it too yourself. You know, if I was ever in Texas I would likely drop a guy that's been around like you an invitation for a drink or two at the bar. But if we were sitting in there and you randomly started spouting out and calling someone a sissy and to man up, it would go against everything I stand for, but I would probably sit back, smile, and watch you get your *** handed to you.

Anyways, these discussions turn into too much of a stupid pissing contest over the internet, waste of time. You live in Texas, what are you doing wasting time in the middle of the afternoon sitting on your computer being cranky when you could be out riding? As for me, I am stuck in this **** *** weather with 2 ft of snow on the ground.

Dude, I said something about the unwarranted comments but you should cool it with the comments about what you used to say about guys who own harleys, that isn't helping your cause or making friends. This forum is about friends and helping.
