Default Potaytah-potaytah-potaytah...

Can't stand this freekin weather any more! Hadda go out to the garage & start the Wet Head just to hear it. Didn't like what I heard though, so I went to the dealer. They had a couple of 14s with the upgraded intakes/exhausts out in the storage area & fired em up for me. Liked what a heard & invested in a Stage 1 Calibration download, SE Air Cleaner Kit, black headers, Black SE mufflers & 3.5" end caps & when she goes in for the 1K service all will be installed along with the satellite radio module. Other than waiting on the Rivco redesign on the parade flag holder mounting brackets, I believe I'm ready for this season. Still sitting on 312 miles since a PGR Mission in mid December...I just wanna ride my motorsickle...

+1 ^ that

Just because this download does NOTHING but rises the rev limit to 6200 rpm.

While you are getting all the goodies done, I believe that you can get the passing lamps to run with high beams on by some computer setting.
Don't know much about the stg 1 calibration but I read that you may want a device to add more fuel. I think people say its a waste of money due to the cost and what you could of bought towards a EFI tuner.
I just bought the Fl-Vied-10's which some say will improve ride after stg 1 download.

I had the flash done for the passing lamps before I drove it out the door.
I had intended to go with V&H exhaust & a fuel pack, but we've got some di*khead cops locally who LOOK for V&H on your pipes & will write you up if they see it. So I went with the SE...& the download on the info I got from the parts guy & the service manager. I'll bring it up next time I'm in there. Haven't paid for it yet.

I am sure you are right about the fuel management options; with that said, I had my dealer do the stage one flash along with the "legal" SE street cannon slip one's and the SE ventilator air cleaner. This will keep my bike's (14 Limited ) warranty in force without any issues, don't need to worry about cop hassles on the pipes and most important of all: the bike runs and sounds great. It does not feel or sound like it's running lean. The mufflers sound just right. The bike performs great. Plenty of power for me. As I said, I am sure their are better options, Harley's stage one is good enough for me.

Bingo! I too am happy, did not waste $500 on a fuel pak. Trying to figure out what the moco spent time figuring out already. Covered under warranty. Every bike I have seen with a fuelpak farts and spits. Mine runs great, great throttle response
