    I wanna put V&H short shots on my nightster!
    Do i need to Fuel Pak, Air breather, Dyno or anything else? or will i be fine with jus bolting these things on?

    Seroiusly i hear so many different things from weekend warriors ti die hard gear freaks.

    What really is the low down and can anyone give a straight answer?

    With the standard computer the bike runs lean to satisfy Gov. Regs. putting on high flow pipes will make the bike run leaner, a high flow air filter will make it run leaner still.
    You then need to add more fuel and the thing controlling that is the computer.So yes you need the whole shebang.

    simple answer is YES..... if ya going to do pipes do the brain aswell... I had a nightster with your above mentioned mods.... 1- it will be LOUD so get ready to annoy the neibours... 2- it's shit easy if ya have a little bit of tool knowledge .... 3- what the hell are you waiting for .... got all of my stuff from Robs cycle supply via fleabay..... no affiliation or kickbacks were entered into....

    It's up to you, most put on pipes and bigger air and some type of fuel computer whether an add on or reprogram the computer the bikes already got, I am yet to see or hear of anyone (in my limited enviroment)  having any trouble with not having all 3 done, I have all 3 mods but have a mate with a 07 fatboy with aftermarket pipes, bigger breather but no fuel changes and has 22.000k's and bike still runs like a dream. I have heard/read that on the newer bikes the fuel computer will make the necessary fuel changes required to a certain extent. Anyone out there heard of someone on a 06-07 or newer bike blowing up the engine beacause it was running too lean from not adjusting the fuel/air ratio with an aftermarket product?

    Ready to be corrected.

    With a name like that, sounds like this little whipper is a member of that famous american 13% motorcycle club, the Lone Riders

    Good luck with the head displacement mate.
