Are the V&H Monsters lighter or heavier than OEM?
I see on their site that they advise you should also instal a fuel map modification ( black box).
Thanks for any info on this as Im keen to fit a pair.
Not sure about chrome pipes on my 15 F6B though.
Best wishes all.

I'm curious about this also. Remapping would be needed if there was a significant increase in airflow. From some reviews that I've read, the airflow restrictions are the same or worse than stock. Those that have V&H Monsters, have you noticed any backfire issues on deceleration? I'd really like to pull the trigger on a set, but don't want to make a expensive mistake.

No backfire issues and the B will compensate for a small increase in flow. Usually in order to need fuel management you need to increase air in as well as air out. Just adding the pipes will not cause problems. According to my records I have picked up about 1 to 1.5 mpg since installing the pipes. Love the look and the sound. I don't know about the weight
I don't think much difference.

Thanks for the quick response shooter, I was pretty sure that there were not going to be issues, figured the FMS would be able to handle.

Pulled the trigger on the V&H Monsters this morning . Supposed to be on my doorstep on Friday. I'll post up my thought/impressions, post install.

I like the idea of pulling the cats off first and replacing them with torque loops. We do not have emissions testing on motorcycles Illinois. May get better sound out of stock pipes. But I do like the sound of Bassani's.

After waiting all day, UPS arrived at 5, and by 6, they were installed. Installation was a snap, even doing it alone. Tone and sound level are EXACTLY what I was looking for and the looks are just too sexy.
