Question About a Tune

I was thinking of doing a tune after I get my first 1000 miles. Want to get a heard pipe that has the cat taken out and a Vance Hines tuner. The FW runs great to me as is but wanted to take some of the heat away. Can some of you give me some in put?
 
I de-catted my head pipe (or you can get one already done from wildpigpipes.com for $150 and get $50 back if you turn in your original pipes) and use the Nightrider FL-Vied-10s (50% setting) to richen it up. I'm running the stock Air Cleaner and mufflers.
It runs much better and way cooler, and sounds a bit louder.
This was a simple cost effective solution that matched my just cruising around riding style.

I was looking at the Nightrider site the reviews and think I am going with it. Will be taken my cat out all so. I may buy a header all ready done but I am able to cut mine and weld it back.
 
I have the factory Stage 1 download, open air intake, catless OEM header and FL-Vied-10s. Made a huge difference heat wise. And it runs nice too! :)
 
Got my header pipe and tuning stuff. will install the FL-ViED 10. So I am going to try and take a temp. reading before and after to see what change it makes. Not going to put the header pipe on just yet.
 
I rode it to church and back and checked the temp and it reads hotter than it did before I installed the Fl. I have it on 50%. I am running stock air cleaner ,header but Cora slip on. Maybe move it back to 25%.
 
I adjusted up some to about 55% and it seems to have dropped the heat down about 10 to 15 degrees. I have been checking with a temp gun. Going to ride it to work and check it some more. It does run better.
