Hello from Roswell, Ga. just a little north of Atlanta!

Got my 4th bike a little over a week ago a 2008 Sportster 1200L from Killer Creek HD here in Roswell, GA. I have been reading this forum and really found a lot of good advice and info. My next step is to add Screaming Eagle slipons to my new bike but not sure if it has to be tuned or not. [/align]My brother is also on here and he has a 2007 Ultra Classic and it's big and real nice, too big for me to ride.[/align][/align]Thanks for all the info and advice[/align]

Hi Mike and welcome from Bristol, England.

Your bike wouldnt need to be tuned following the addition of the Screaming Eagle slip ons, but would once (an if) you change the air cleaner.

There are alternatives to the Screaming Eagle slip ons that you might want to consider before making your choice. If you look around in the Sportster section of the forum you'll find lots of posts about exhaust systems.
