2012 Road King with V&H Pro Pipe
I'm seriously considering buying a 2013 Road King and need advice. The bike is a one-owner machine wie 36000 miles on it and is cosmetically in great shape. It has the 103 engine with no modifications. My concern is that the owner installed a V&H 2 into 1 Pro Pipe on the bike shortly after it was purchased in 2013 and never retuned the engine. Should I worry about engine overheat issues that could cause problems in the future? I've read in some past threads that as long as no air intake mods have been made that just changing the pipe is not an issue and retuning isn't necessary. Is that true in this case? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome from NC. Great if you get the King.
IMO, since both the stock header and muffler has been changed, I think the bike runs a bit hotter with that 2-into-1 Pro Pipe. You'll definitely benefit with a new tune, even though the bike still has the stock AC. If it was only the muffler upgrade with the stock header, then your good.
Opinions can vary, but me thinks a tune is the right call. Ask the seller if he still has the stock header and mufflers.

And so it starts.
