Help

Welcome to the board. Your post doesn't mention if you have a carb or FI model.
You will want to change the air cleaner to a more free flowing unit, like a Screaming Eagle or Arlen Ness Big Sucker. If you have a carb, you'll have to re-jet in order to compensate for the increased air flow thru the engine. If you have FI, you'll have to have a new map downloaded, most likely the basic Stage 1 map.
It's not a difficult process either way, especially if you pay someone else to do the work for you. If you're fairly handy with the wrenches you can do the parts install yourself. If you have a laptop computer and about $350. you can buy the Screaming Eagle Race Tuner (SERT) and do the mapping yourself. You'll save almost enough on the labor to pay for the SERT. You'll also be able to tweak the map to fit your bike and riding environment better. You can read more about the SERT and tuning here in the EFI forum.
The V&H long shots are loud and throaty. They look great on a Heritage too. You'll probably find several people on the board that have them.
Good luck and have fun with it!

Thanks !!
