Default what else do i have to do after adding slip on pipes?

OK, I hope this isn't a stooopid question... I just bought a '07 Ultra and it's complety stock.
The first thing I want to do is put on some different pipes. probably just be able to do slip ons with the head pipe i have for now. do i have to have fuel system remapped? is that the right term? and can i find a indy to do that? or do i have to go back to the stealer?
my EGC that i had last already had a pipe change so i have no experience with a fuel injected bike. i did do a stage 1 on my carburated sporty.
Thank for any replies!
Gary

You don't have to do anything. The HD download doesn't do much. A tuner like SERT or TTS or PCV and a good dyno tune will make your bike run cooler and not EPA lean like it is stock. You will pick up a little power with a tuner and a good tune even on a stock bike. If all you want is a little more sound and aren't worried about performance just add the slip-ons and enjoy. If you decide to go with a tuner I suggest finding a local indy and go with what they are familiar with.

You can add slip-ons without doing any fuel mapping. If you do a stage 1 you'll need to do some fuel management. You must have rejetted your carb on the sporty. There's a lot of choices depending on your plans. there are a lot of fuel tuners that are plug and play so you'll be able to do it yourself. Good luck and cograts on the new scoot

1. get some ear plugs
2. get a louder stereo
3. stock up on your favorite headache medicine
4. start looking for the quieter slip on you will be installing in about a year

The bike was the cheap part. Now the real expense begins.
