Default 2013 ultra limited

Ok I have a 2013 limited I just put vance & hines round slash twin slipons on it that is all I have done to it right now . My question is do you think that it will be ok to ride for a while. It seams to run and operate great no decel popping . the temp is hot but I think that they are always hot.

It won't blow up or nothing. It will always be hot but if you de-cat the head pipe and tune it, it will cool it some.

One of my neighbors has over 20K on a similar setup on his 13 limited.

No issues but I think he is crazy not to have his bike tuned. He does a lot of riding (e.g. purchased his 13 last August) and he already passed 20K.

Pipes only = you're good...if/when you start adding other upgrades (i.e. header, cams, a/c...) then it's time to look into tuning options. Ride-on!

Decatting and tuning will cool it down and make it run better. These things are just too lean from the factory and will never up to potential in stock form.
