Thought maybe you got a nighttrain/that's the dark side.
A lot of metric owners call Harley bikes in general "the dark side". I think it was supposed to be a insult to Harleys, but now the term is worn like a badge of honor.
That makes the Nightrain the black hearted darkest side of the dark side.

Nice bike!

If you go with just the slip on's you should not have to do anything with the fuel injection or intake due to the narrow band O2 sensors that Harley has implimented on the '07 lineup.

By the way...these may work for you: https://www.hdforums.com/m_906961/tm.htm

Nice bike bro. Fatboys are the ticket - you chose well.
Get the pipes - not the slip-ons if you can swing the extra cash...

Thanks for the compliments! I've riden Sport bikes my whole life. So buying a Harley is a night and day change for me. Its a strange change, but very enjoyable. BTW whats the trick to get picts to show up in my posts? Do the [IMG] tags work?

That surfing on the shorebreak isn't surfing. Its Skimboarding and its nuts!

What is the difference between slip-on and pipes? Is the diameter of the pipe bigger than the stock ones for better flow? Is there something is the stock header that is restrictive?

Thank you very much Citoriplus. The more I stare at it, the more I like it. I had my buddy ride by me today at lunch on my new scoot. She looked great riding by!
