Default Tunning ?

I just recently installed a screaming eagle heavey breather and a set of V&H big shot duals.
I currently have had the bike dyno'd with a set of rush slip-ons and a se stage 1 a/c. My question is should i need to re-dyno the bike with the new add-ons or will it be safe to operate without damaging any internal componets

I think it's ok to ride but it will not run optimally.

If you had the dyno done with the SEAC and only added the Heavy Breather you should be fine, as long as you added more fuel to the additional air of the SEAC. If you changed one slip on for another, then no issue.

A lot of us run and aftermarket ECM that allows you to change the map settings for these type of changes.

Search on PC, TTS or SERT and you will get more than enough opinions on which ECM is best.

First off, how's it run, you never said? If it runs great, don't worry about it, until you can fork out the $$$ for another dyno or better yet buy a PC-V from someone on this site that bought one from F/M that the warranty is still good on and F/M will send you the correct map for yours, or hang on unitl the Powervision comes out which I hear is supposed to be in about a week or so..

i haven't ran the bike yet i am starting to install the pipes and have to wait for some tires and my inner fairing to get back from the painters before i am able to ride it and that will all have to depend on ohio weather if i am able to take if for a short ride to see. I already have the SERT so just have to get it dyno'd again. I can't see spending 300-to whatever for something new. plus i had a bad experience with the pc-v and won't use them again.

That may be, but I'll bet it costs you at the very least $300 if not a lot more to get your bike dynoed again..for your sert. I've heard that their new model the sepst is better.

Very good.
I've never had mine tuned yet,(full stage 1, Ness AC, Rinehart slip-ons, F/M PC-V) as there really hasn't been a need, but will have to if I ever decide to do the cams.
I have woods 6-6's and andrews 48h's, and will probably use the andrew's as I generally ride 2 up,(too bad I couldn't 1 of each, LOL) as the wood's probably will lose some oomph on the low end if I don't put in a thinner head gasket or something to boost the CR.
The guy in my neighborhood uses PC-V's and charges $210 to tune.
I've never had any issues with the PC-V yet,(knock on wood) runs great.
Warranty expires here in another year, and at that time the "Powervision" will have been out long enough to have all the tweeks worked out.
