I have a 2001 Road King Classic. I want to put aftermarket slip-ons on it, but I'm not sure what kind to get. I like the dimensions of the stock mufflers. I talked to several dealers and got some different recommendations. 2 told me Vance & Hines, 1 said SE and one told me Kerkers. I had a 2000 Heritage with a carb. I put SE IIs on it and I didn't think that they were loud enough (by the way, I still have those pipes if anyone's looking for any). I then put Python IIIs on it and I liked the sound of those.
I'm leaning toward the Kerkers right now. Anybody have any bad experiences with them? Do you like the sound? Is there any difference with the Mikuni baffles and should you use them in a FI bike?
The dealers also told me different things about the installation. 3 said you need the Stage I and the remap when changing the mufflers. 1 said that if you just change the mufflers, you don't need to do anything else, although they recommend that you do.
I was thinking of putting the pipes on now and the Stage I and remap in the spring. Any problems with just replacing the pipes for now?
Thanks for the help.
