I put a set of V&H basic slip-ons on my '09 and they came with new clamps so you might be all set anyway.
For my wife and I the slip-ons are just too noisy though so I guess you'll see them on Ebay soon.

Installed Biketronics a year ago and am extremely pleased. Comes with rain gaurd and has been great. Have had my mufflers on and off 4 times and never changed clamps, no leaks. HD propaganda about clamps only good for one use.

+1 on the Biketronics, I got mine last year.
Installation was a breeze, complete plug-n-play. Sound is great !
I got the Sony radio with USB on the front. I carry a few thumb drives with music and just plug one in. 4 gb of music. Keep a CD in just incase I have to put the splash guard on. Or just plug my ipod in and can use the handlebar controls with it as well.
Great kit for 1/2 the price of HK that HD's come with.
