worth is relative and subjective..lots of questions to answer..to some people $1000 - $1500 is a lot of money, others not so much..etc...it was for me but you'll get others who think it's a waste and others will tell you to spend more on a Stage 2..etc, it'll be louder most likely so maybe you do or do not like that..how you ride, and on and on

If you are thinking of a cam sometime after the Stage1 then yes.
If you are thinking of making your 107 bark a bit more then yes
If you are only looking for torque and HP gains then save your money.

Not looking for anything in particular just wondering if and what I would notice.
I actually noticed a smoothing out of my throttle control and maybe just a little more performance on my 103 RG.
Not looking to do a Stage 2 and since I already have Rinehart slip on it would only cost me the transfer fee for my PV from Fuel Moto and the cost of a hi flow air cleaner.

Been through the stage 2 with my Ultra Ltd. Now with my 2022 RG ST, I'm just doing full exhaust and tune. To answer your question, with just slip-ons, a stage 1 is worthless. I would only go past stock if you were doing work that required a tune.

I wouldn't JUST do a stage 1 and that's it. Not worth it IMO. Only a small amount of sound gained and maybe a few HP and TQ. Not the most bang for your buck.
Whereas a stage 2 you net a much bigger return on your dollar in performance gains and sound.

EVERY RF system I have installed (and tried to talk all of them out of it) they have come back and wanted more. There are WAY better options for the same price. Find a bike audio place near you if you are not going to do it yourself.
