I have been reading this site for sometime now. most of the time I wish I sold after market parts i would be a rich man. I have been ridding since 1963, I have raced HD's ,built HD's, one was even in EZ Rider. I still ride all the time and put about 20000, to 25000 miles a year on my bikes.
1 Stage1 kits not much noticeable power don't think its worth the money if that's what you are looking for. You want Hp spend more money and you will get it. Me I do a stage1 so the bike runs cooler these new ones are hot. For me stage1 is header pipes, air cleaner ie big sucker or something like that,and a Dyno tune. I do pick up some HP and tork.
2 oil most oils name brands are good its a matter of what you like, just make sure you change on time.
3 noise HD'S make noise all kinds of sounds so when they making noise go to the shop right away. Most are just normal, some are not.
4 Stop reading most of this b/s go out and ride enjoy your ride and dont try to antalize every sound just enjoy. Im not saying not to go the after rout just know why you are doing it.
Right now I ride a few bikes 1963 FL stroker 127 hp very fast, 1965 FLH stock, 1967 fl got it new over 110000 miles on it two topends,need to rebuild it again,2015 Ultra going for a ride today bet back Friday or Saturday up to New England states, could change because of the weather we will see.
Ride safe and enjoy

 

Glad that you cleared all that up. We can all relax now.

 

Enjoy your rides and nice taste in bikes. Lancaster is a nice area but so is much of that area barring Philly.

 

Can you post some pics of the '63?

 

Hell. Can ya posts pics of all the old ones?!

 

Is this for real, or just part of the "Just myB/S" theme?

 

 

A 1963 FL stroker w/127 HP? yeah I would like to see that!

 

^That actually got my attention too. Distracted me from the terrubble spelinging.

 

Could be a mistype 27hp not 127
