Default Stage 1 Upgrades - AWESOME

I finally did a simple stage 1 upgrade, pipes, tuner, a/c to my stock 96 2010 StreetGlide.

Freaking Unbelievable!!!

I had no idea what I was missing and wish now I had done it on Day 1.

I can only imagine what the Rushmore motors are like when they do a Stage 1.

Dyno numbers were 61 gain to 72 hp and 73 to 84 torque. Not bad.

I highly recommend the investment. You will get the motorcycle you paid for.

These Twin Cams have a lot of potential, unfortunately they come from the factory severely handicapped thanks to EPA regulations. You HAVE TO do a stage 1 upgrade just to bring it up to par!

Impressive gains. I've been thinking about doing the same for my '09 RK, but have had a hard time finding actual numbers to justify the cost.

I see you purchased a tuner, but also had a dyno tune. Was the tuner close out of the box (canned program), or did you have the dyno guy tweak settings to get these numbers?

Thnk cam now, I know that a boat is nothing but a hole in the water in which to sink your money, but a scoot is an entire different story. You would thnk it was a best seller if ever wrote a book, but like the boat, you'll never get the money back you put into it.
My sentiments are who cares, I'm tearing up the road enjoyin myself and I'll stop by the local fish market if I want grouper...lmfao

Freedom Exhaust 2into1, SESTPro, basic Screaming Eagle a/c.
Yes, it was dynotuned for these numbers.
$1200 plus $300 dyno time. Not chump change to me but worth every penny.

LOL! Spent 20 years on the water with three boats and YES! they are a hole in the water in which I threw much money. Not sure my passion for motorcycles comes at any lower cost. I have so much "invested" (lol!) in this bike I will never see daylight again. Worth every penny every time I get to ride them. But you already know that.

Can't take it with ya so spend it & Enjoy it.
I was quite amazed at the performance increase after I completed the Stage 1 upgrades as well.
Never really thought about price as I was more interested in getting the bike where it should have been from the factory to start with.

Don't let that beast get away from ya.
Boats are only a hole in the water if you don't know how to work on them.


That comment about boats or anything else of that nature tickles me.
How many of us in our lives has went and blown $200, $300, $400 & more money in one evening bar hoping or hanging out at the nudie bar.
