So just to confirm someone elses opinion.  Can I get away with installing an air cleaner and different exhaust without putting in a fuel processor?

Yes you can! Only thing it is set with the program to run what you have on the bike. Factory specs. Have been told some have disconnected the battery with the new breather and exhaust and the factory processor reconfigured the new addons. I myself have never done it. I would think you would get crappy gas milage
and back pressure because of the breather....... meaning backfire out the exhaust! Never can tell.  Might go to a larger VTX crowd and ask.

remember my rineharts?
i did run them with out a fuel processor, they run ok, i got some backfiring and popping, no change on fuel, once i install the powercommander III backfiring stop still popping here and there, fuel went down to 24 mpgh  
i still have my old laptop with some power commander dyno settings for the x.

Get away with it?  Yes.  It won't hurt anything.  But if you want more power and performance, it's will help.  I think the 1800 has gobs of power, especially when I ride alone.  And personally, I like the sound of the stock exhaust.  Calm at idol, loud at at WOT.
