I'm sure there is more power to be had with aftermarket parts, but I wanted to keep the warranty in tact without any headaches or issues if I'm on the road. Since I did it w/in the 60 days it gets entered into the system as factory installed parts.
Looks and sounds awesome! I'm in the process of trading in my Fat Boy S on a 18' Wicked Red RGS. The bike will not be delivered to the dealer until mid April so I'm trying to decide how much I want done up front before delivery. I'm doing Stage I for sure with the Ventilator AC, 4.5" SC and the SE tuner. I'm trying to decide if I want the Stage II cam upgrade done while they are at it. Still happy with your setup? What kind of MPG's are you getting? I like to do long rides and do not want to drop the mileage too much.

Looks and sounds great! What bars do you have on the bike? Thanks.

I'm going back and forth on whether to do the stage II, but after listening to your bike and a local one in person I have decided this is something I have to do. Stock sound on these M8s is just too quiet.

Put a cam in it, you won’t be disappointed.

Sounds like it was still cold and idling high. Bet it sounds better in person. Great way to wake the bike up and keep your warranty!

I need to add $1300 more to the deal if I want stage II done before delivery. Thinking I'm going to hold off and do it later. Maybe at the 1000 mile service.
