Default Maybe a dumb question about stage kits

Hi Ladies and Gents,

Got a stock 2018 street glide with for my birthday and am looking to spend a bit of money on it.

my question is do you have to get stage 1, 2, 3 separately etc or does stage 3 include 1&2?

thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum from central Texas. They are all separate stages.

But doing them all at the same time is the most cost effective and unless you screw something up you don't have to go in to the same area a second time.
Stage 1, pipes and air box
Stage 2 is Cam
Stage 3 is bore, and piston upgrade
I didn't list everything for each stage

Yeah that’s my train of thought. I was going to go and talk to the dealer tomorrow but I thought I’d see what knowledge everyone had here and you guys are great.

And there is a stage 4...a 'Roo detector, my Ozzie friend.
For those furry IEDs you have.

A stage 4.5 for us Yanks is a Ozzie-Kiwi detector.
To find some of the best drinking buddies you can ever meet.

Stage 1 is required for all subsequent stages. However while a stage 2 is a cam only (and requires a stage 1) a stage 3 (increased displacement) will also contain a cam, usually a different cam from a stage 2. Stage 4 is high flow cylinder heads in addition to what is included in a stage 3, and again, yet another different cam.

Nice birthday present btw!

If I was doing cam and Big Bore I would look outside of H-D as well.

Air Cleaner, Cam, Pistons/Cylinders, Full Exhaust, Tuner, and at least a street port on the heads. Do it all at once so you can match it up. I did cams before a Big Bore and now would need to change cams again to match Bore and Compression. Looking back I would have done a 103 or 107 along with cams. The good thing is my 96 pulls strong and runs great so I’ll wait until it gets tires to go bigger.

Call H-D, S&S, and Fuel Moto and compare your options.
