Help me beat the heat.
I am looking for a set of pipes to put on my 07 Ultra. I was wondering if slip on pipes will address the heat situation, or do I need to get true duals. I am hoping to keep the set up under $500. Ideas??

The bike will run hot with any pipes unless you have done a stage 1 kit. Try the serch engine on this site everthing you may need to know is there or try this site http://www.nightrider.com/

Just installing diff slip ons will not get rid of the heat issue.Because the bike is running so lean from the factory you need to do a couple of things.You need to richen up air / fuel mixture by adding some type of fuel mangt ie ( PCIII, fuel pack,Thundermax etc). That will take care of alot of the problem by itself.Than you will want to do a stage 1 air cleaner (screamin eagle or K&N ).Even synthetic oil will help.Lastly duals will get rid of the cross over pipe and will also cool it down with the duals themselves.

RE: Help me beat the heat.
Doing a STAGE 1 will help reduce the HEAT ISSUE while giving you MORE PERFORMANCE... To futher reduce the HEAT ISSUE would be to install TRUE DUALS (but you'll loose a little lower end torque).. Going even more.... Change you oil and go to a GOOD SYN OIL like AMSOIL or MOBIL 1... You can always add RJ's Orignals Heat Shields (Vendor here) and they will reduce the heat to you & your passangers legs...
UNDER $500.00??? Start Shoping E-Bay...

OK, I already did the Arlen Ness Adjustable Fuel injection thing on th estage I download. It has cooled it quite a bit, but to further cool it I need an intake kit and some pipes.
My question is:
Do I need to get true duals or will slip on pipes be OK? If slip ons are OK, is there some that are recommended over others?

RE: Help me beat the heat.
Pappy is right...low restriction A/C and slip-ons with a fuel management system will help out immensly. I am still debating with myself whether or not to do the true duals or not because I don't know if I want to lose that low-end torque. Maybe it's not THAT much torque to be concerned with..???

RE: Help me beat the heat.
allright, I will order the K&N air kit right now.
As for slip ons, I have a J&G catalog with lots of cool stuff in it. What should I get for cheap slip ons? Are there any to stay away from?
