remapping??
I have a 07 1200C, and I am looking at adding some slip-ons, possibly Rush. I spoke with the local HD dealer, and they are telling me I need the full Stage one because the bike already runs lean from the factory, and its not good to just add pipes. First question, is this accurate?
Second, I do want to eventually do the full Stage 1, and again spoke to the dealer. I mentioned buying the parts on-line, and they gave me their install charges. One of the charges listed was Race Tuner Install. Is this the same as remapping or is this different. I looked up a Race tuner, and this would add another $300+ to the Stage one.
Any help would be appreciated.

RE: remapping??
On an 07 your fine with just slipons, you will get little to no power gain but it will sound a lot better.
I did that and it runs fine and I'm not sure if I will bother going farther with the stage one, if I do I think I will use the power commander III with USB from Fuel Moto as the general opinion here seems to favour that over the remap or race tuner.
I'm sure some will argue otherwise about what "tuner" is best, this is just my opinion.

RE: remapping??
I would concur, went to the dealer last week and was told a similiar story. Service/parts guy told me I would NEED a stage 1 A/c and remap if I put on slipons. I succesfully installed a set of Rush Slipons w/ 2" baffle last Friday. Took me a few hours and was a relatively simple job. ( would have taken a short time if I used the WD40 before wrestling with the original mufflers [:@])
I was also told the same story from the site that sold me the RUSH's . ---I did my fair share of investigative research here and found the opposite was true. I can tell you that for the last few days the Bike has not sounded better. ( great sound over stock ) and maybe it's me but it FEELS like its running stronger without any negative performance since adding the new pipes.
Good Luck ...Ride Safe
