I wouldn't worry about a retune unless you also go to a performance intake.

You wont need to re-map or upgrade until you do a high flow air cleaner.

DR V-Twin: what do you mean by Heed bobbers info?

I didn't change out the Air Cleaner. What are some things i need to look out for just in case it does need to be remapped? Thanks for you responses

There is nothing to look out for because it will not need it. The brain of the bike will adjust itself for the changed exhaust. If you change the exhaust and intake(filter) then that is too much flow increase for the computer to adjust for so then you would need a flash to increase fuel flow.

What I mean is if you have a stock air filter you can leave it as it is. It will run much cooler and better with a high flow filter and a tuner of some sort, but as it stand it is okay.
