Ride it.

In 10,000 miles you'll know exactly what you want on that bike, and our opinions won't mean a lukewarm snot-rocket.

That is what i wouldd i would reccomend. Pipes are a choice. I have used V&H rienhart fuel moto rush cobra and bub over the years. They are all different. Couldn't give me a V&H header. The monster rounds had a good deep sound. Chrome was suspect. The rush stuff is nice but i don't have a lot of miles on them yet. Reinhart has been holding up well. Cobra was not good sound or quality wise. The fuel moto headers i like.

Tuner stage 1 kit is a fuel moto thumbs up.

I agree, ride it for awhile and then decide for yourself after doing a bunch of research. I do however recommend the Power Vision tuner.

I did the FP3, Supertrapp Stout slip-ons, and a S&S air cleaner. Works great. Sounds great. So that's what I recommend.

I used the Arlen Ness Naked Air cleaner-lets use use the stock cover. V&H Dresser head pipe and V&H Monster rounds with the FuelPak 3. I am very happy. I ran several auto tune sessions and the bike runs and sounds great. No complaints, no regrets yet. Although, DK customs just came out with a new air cleaner that allows the use of the stock cover and I think I might switch just because of the breather system.
