Yea, I have a carbeuretor, so I guess re-jetting that would be the equivalent of ECM?

I use dental floss. Cuts right thru the tape on the back of the reflector. Heavy fishing line will work. Just dont use anything to scratch the paint or chrome. There is a thread on hear about how to chop the football to end up with just the center of the football. I have a stage one filter with the chopped football. Easy to do and doesnt cost a dime. Stage one is pipes, intake, and fuel controller. Makes a difference.

I guess I could always get the stage 1 with a custom derby cover right? And are air cleaners different if you have a carburetor?

Pipes look great! I could be biased because that's what I'm running, you will love the sound of them.

I had them on my 08 Heritage & loved them. One thing you may want to do is look into the V&H Quiet Baffles. They give the sound alot deeper tone than they come with from V&H. Congrats, it's gonna look sick with a big set of apes!

There has to be a ton of guys on here that could point you in the right direction. When do the apes get here? Your sled is going to look good.

Apes are here, waiting on Magnum Cables to arrive this week! next I think I'm getting a le pera seat and then onto 21 front wheel, 18 rear....Mammoth Wheels is what I'm thinking

le pera seat I am getting bare bones with red diamond stitch, and the wheels can't decide if I want to go chrome, or red rim with diamond chrome spokes (My bike is black pearl with the red pin striping)
