Daniel,
Congrats on the new bike, and welcome to the board! If you olny change pipes rejetting is not usually an absolute must. However if you change your air intake it IS a must to rejet. When I put pipes on my 800 I went ahead and changed over to a K&N filter in the original(stock) air box and was advised to rejet which I did and it REALLY made a big differance in preformance, the bike ran cooler and was much more responsive. The hardest thing about changeing pipes on a Vulcan is getting the stock pipes off, and be sure not to tighten the flanges too tight. The K&N air filter WILL make a differance also and is a fairly cheap mod. that I would reccomend. Best of luck with your new ride1
