RE: How well does stock bikes run
My stock bike accelerates quickly with just a crack of the throttle and is well ahead of the traffic from stop lights and is very fast on the freeway, and accelerates hard from 80 mph. I have to pay attention to my throttle control so I don't get any tickets. An 06 Dyna is plenty fast.

Harpoon, yes, you will need a jet kit. As to what the specifics are I don't know. If you call the nearest stealer, they should tell you over the phone. Also, I am sure someone on the forum will have the info you need. From what I have read over the last couple years is that some folks find different sized jets perform better for what they are looking for. I have a carburator on my 05 low rider, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I gues I am an ignorant hard head about keeping a carbed bike vs. a EFI.

I may go and get me a DYNA this weekend and if I do the stage one it may be a ways down the road. I was wondering how well your bike runs if it is all stock. I have never rode a Harley Davidson and I have no real experience with the bikes. I do hear alot of people talking about stage 1 upgrades to make the motorcycle perform better. Is any of this anything to worry about or am I just reading to much on the internet.

i agree that you should do what makes you happy. i went from having a mustang gt with 4.10 gears and mild motor work to buying this sweet piece.then sold the stang b/c i knew i could mod this for less and get better results.(gotta have a toy) wanting to mod the stang and the scoot was too much on the pocket.so i chose the scoot and never looked back.
i can't wait to do the big bore and cam.but thats me.i love power and torque. its whatever u are satisfied with. but i guarantee u one thing,once u ride a bike thats had work done on it.u'll want that work done to urs.good luck.and keep the shiny side up.
jay.
oh welcome to the forums.

I don't think they make black SEII for a dyna and a jet kit will range from 40-140$ and it will tell you what jets to use or you can dont go cheap and just buy one or two just becuase a jet kit will come in handy if you ride and chang elevation.

A stock dyna is plenty fast for starting out but it is way to quiet unless you have neighbors who complain about noise. It is very important to aquire riding skills and get comfortable on the bike. There are many situations that you need to react and not think. This only comes with time on the road.
I think it's really sad to see a bike all do dadded up and then sold in a couple years with low mileage at a big $ loss...
Good Luck !!! ANDRE'

i agree with ya.you should get used to it and the power its got now before u do anything else. and yes it is way to quiet.so just concentrate on that and leave the rest alone until ur ready.
i did the same thing. i bought an 04 hugger cust.did the stage 1 and some little things and kept it till i was ready to upgrade.when i felt i was a good enough rider.thats when i got the dyna. this is it for me. i'm not buying another for a long long time.so i'll mod the hell out of this one.peace.jay.
