Samson slip on drag tips
Hello all... I am brand new to the forum (first post). Just traded in my 06 Sporty for an 07 RK Classic on Saturday
. Oh, and I am 25 to all those that say baggers are for old guys[:'(]! Anyway, I ordered the Samson slip on drag tips (no baffles) which should be here soon. Can I run these without doing anything else for a while until I can afford the Race Tuner and Stage 1? I realize I will lose some back pressure and performance, but how much? Anyone else tried these slip ons or anything similar?
Thanks

RE: Samson slip on drag tips
Havent tried that setup but from everything I have read you will be fine. You may have some popping on decel but nothing bad.
I am actually looking at doing the same with Python slip ons on my 07 RKC.

I have the Samson drag fishtails on my bike. Very loud, and I love it. I get some decel popping, but I actually like it. Anything that gets me more noticed is a good thing. Everyone will tell you that they will decrease your power, but I didn't notice that at all. You will only need to do the upgrades once you add a AC to the bike.

Just noise on the decel popping. And the local chopper dealer is right. I haven't heard a bike louder than mine. I wouldn't call it obnoxious, but, it is my bike.

I guess I'm still young (30), and I love my bagger. My Samson 30" slip on drags have some decel pop, which I don't really mind, and no real noticable performance changes. I do plan on re-mapping, however, once I put on a hi flow air cleaner.

I had the Samson drag tips on my 03 Road King. I added a baffle insert to make it complainant aboard Marine Corps installations but they were still "LOUD." Didn't add an SERT and other type of tuner and experience Zero issues. Had HD Mo-Co install SE A/C kit and re-jetted using stock sensor equipment.
