Heavy Breather ?
I have an 03 Deuce fuel injected. I want to get a SE Heavy Breather, if i get one will it just bolt on and and ride or are there other things i need to do? If anyone has any other suggestions on something oher than the SE HB i would be glad to hear them.

you are going to get a lot of replies regarding stage 1 , which is a free flowing air filter and exhaust, with the 2 together you will need a new map or something sort of fuel control system, i am sure you will get lots of posts right after this one, with just the air filter or just the exhaust you should be fine without any fuel adjustment, and yes order the right kind and model for your bike and it just bolts on, pretty simple, just get some blue loctite from your local auto parts store.....good luck...its easy!

I have an 06 train with a SE heavy breather, power commander 3, and V&H Big Shots. It's super easy to bolt on. The instructions are actually pretty good from the the factory. As for needing any thing else - if you already have stage one, you should be ok. So you have after market exhaust? That would determine if you need a fuel management system like a power commander.
On my commander, I just dropped the correct map in from the chart for the exhaust and the breather. If you have exhaust and want the breather you may want to consider another dealer map or take the plunge into a PC.

Not necessarily, if you already have the Stage I ECM "flash" from the dealer, you should be good to go. Even though it's EPA compliant (a bit on the lean side) it will be sufficient. If you want to get all the potential from the Stage I upgrade you will want a more flexible fuel management system.

Ok, i want to eventually get a PC or something but i was just planning on doing one at a time, and i just like the looks of the aftermarket breathers more than the chrome stock oval so i was planning on the breather first then a better FMS, as long as it will work without any problems.

I love mine, super easy to install, and the look is great. The only drawback for me was leg clearance on the right side. I can't use my right upper foot rest on my mustache bar anymore. Not a big deal because it always felt awkward to me anyway. Normal leg location is fine. I'm now looking at highway pegs to mount on the outer tubes of the MB.
