Default New cfr slip ons

I have a stock 2008 ultra classic. I have just purchased a pair of cfr slip ons. Will I need to do anything to the bike to keep it running properly?

If all you are doing is replacing the slipons you should be fine. If you change to a free flowing air cleaner or make other changes you will need to have the bike tuned. Having said that, even a stock bike can benefit from being tuned.

Introduce yourself and do some searching on the forum. Tons of information available. Welcome to the forum

Get a set of ear plugs.
Be prepared for volume.

I just put mine on last night, but it sounds like a real Harley now. A real Harley that will wake up the neighbors 4 houses down.

Those CFR's? Are they the loudest of pipes as well as being one of the best sounding?
Don,t know if I want loudest but great sound...yes, I want that.
I've never heard them in person because no one round here has them.

Think they sound good on a stock bike, you should hear them with some displacement and high compression!
