Hey, I new to the forum and I recently purchased a 07 RD King. Now I just order a pair of Rush 2.0 slip on muffler, I know if I do just that I don't need a download. But if I add a high flow ac I will need one. If I do that, and later I decide I want true dualls or 2.5 slip on will I need a new download.

If you add true duals or an aircleaner, you will definitely need some type of fuel management system. If it were me, I would be putting on a SERT, PC3 orThundermax even with the slipons. They come very lean from the factory.

RE: downloads
I've heard no good news about the Download for the 06's, but havenât heard a

Is anyone out there using the Download for 07?

In case you haven't heard or noticed. The 07's are running lean, to try and appease the EPA for one. So in turn they run hotter. Each seperate thing may add to the bike being leaner yet. Obviously some more than others.
1) Exhaust - If you help the flow out, it relieves back pressure which will result in some increased lean mixture. However, exhaust will also (with a proper mixture) help it run cooler also.
2) Air cleaner that takes more air in, will cause an increased lean condition.
3) If you add both together it will increase that lean condition even more.
There are many that have went with a fuel management system on a stock bike, and it has helped. Runs better, and runs cooler.
I don't quite have 500 miles on mine yet. So far I went with V&H slip ons only, with a PCIII. I will say it did run quite a bit hotter without the PCIII and stock exhaust.
One thing I do know, if you search this subject, there are tons of threads on this issue. I know I read a bunch myself.
Good Luck and have fun!!!

Please, Define Lean, and how it applies to a new bike.....
Relevant proof would be appreciated.....
Production bikes are at 12:1 @ WOT and 14.6:1 cruising...
HOW IS THAT LEAN????????
FWIW, they are not lean, Bigger displacement, Break-in mileage, feedback o2 system, catalytic epoxied mufflers all play a role in additional heat being radiated from the motor and cross-over pipe.....
