Default Arlen Ness Big Sucker Stage 1 or 2

Was at his shop a couple of weeks ago and was looking at both for my 07 Heritage. I told the person behind the counter, that this is the first part I would be buying and would purchase the rest down the road. He said that the stage 2 would be no problem. I like the looks of the stage 2, but is it too much for my bike? Looking at VH Staggered or Longshots. Also Commander III is on my wish lists. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Randy

I'm running the 2 on a stock 96" and it works fine. The only reason I chose it was for the look vs. the smaller stage 1.

I'm running the Stage 2. It was my understanding that the Stage 1 is if you are keeping your football cover and the Stage 2 is better if you're upgrading your cover as well which I did with their round smooth cover.
