Hi All,
I am looking to go the way of the V&H Super Radius in Black and the RSD Clarity Air Cleaner in Black Ops. Is the RSD worth the extra money over an SE? I personally just like the look of it after seeing it on this thread but it's $500 bucks. Also to complete the stage 1 will HD do a fuel tuner or do I need to get one? Thoughts and comments appreciated. Also if you don't mind what was your out the door price on your 2014 FB? Thanks

If you like the looks of it and can afford it, go for it.

Also, Is it worth getting the extended service plan? I am a mechanical idiot.

If you do pipes and AC, a tuner is always a good idea. I went with a powervision auto tuner. Plug it in and ride it like you stole it then tuner will make the adjustments. Take a look on YouTube they have some great videos on it. As far as the RSD air cleaner that's all up to you. I like the style so the lil extra was worth it to me. I also picked it up from Revzilla. They have em for 450. Plus for every so much spend you earn a few bucks up to like 30. So I just broke up my purchases, so every time I had an extra 30 dollars off plus their normal discounts. Adds up when you're buying 2k worth of accessories.

Thanks, I am a bit confused with the auto tuner. How often do you have to update the bike. If I don't plan to do any other upgrades besides stage 1 at the time when I purchase the bike from HD is it worth it for me to still buy it?

Thanks

Sand camo is one of my favorite colors--especially when everything else is blacked out. I'm half tempted to paint my street bob that color!

Your bike looks great. The pipe is awesome. I was considering that one until I put taller shocks on (from burly slammers to progressive 970 12.5"), I don't need to change up my pipe.

If you're still seat shopping, look at C&C Seats. Mine will be here Tuesday.

I'm definitely going to put my butt on one of those when demo days comes to my town.

I highly recommend a test ride. I was a bit nervous when I showed up at the demo days, but after I was like go ahead and order me one of those.

Fatbob got it's first confirmed kill today. Drove through a flock of La finches when the lil bastards flew across the road. Had a total of three blood spots on the bike and had one bounce off my helmet.
