newbie SE question
I searched and searched to find an answer and couldn't, so I will ask here.
I recently bought my first Harley. It is a 2000 Fatboy screamin eagle stage 2. I will attach a pic, although you probably know what it looks like anyway.
My salesman explained the stage 2 part means they actually go into the engine with modifications and he says I have a 95 inch motor now.
My belief is that a screamin eagle means it has a modified air intake and exhaust system, is this correct?
Is there any other things it does?
I am the type that likes to know as much as possible about things I own, especially 15k things and I am feeling dumb when people stop me to ask tech questions and am sure I will eventually be able to shoot the answers easily, but for now, would love someone to make the screamin eagle part a little easier to understand!!
Thank you very much for taking the time.

RE: newbie SE question
A screamin Eagle model is made by harley's Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) It is custom paint,lots of chrome,and since the mid 90's bigger engine. It looks like you have a regular fatboy, I dont think they made SE Fatboy until mid 90's. What you probably have is SE parts in your engine. Harleys Performance Parts are under the SE name. It looks like you have a thunder header on the bike.If it is a 95ci engine you should be in the 100hp-100tq range, put it on a dyno to get your hp #. Good luck with the bike.

As Fireman44 said, you do not have a Screamin Eagle Fatboy made by HD CVO. You have a Fatboy apparently with a Stage 2 Upgrade. You have been told that the motor was upgraded with a Screamin Eagle kit. Do you have any paperwork to showswhat work was done? If it was performed by a Harley Dealer the Service Department will have all the details you need. Not a bad idea getting copies of all paperwork like that in any event.
If done right, your Stage 2 Upgrade will include a change to your intake. It will also get an ECU download. Get a Screamin Eagle Performance Parts Catalog from your HD Dealer and it will list all of the components in a TC88 Stage 2 Mod. Your exhaust is not stock but as you'll learn from thePerformance Parts Catalog, exhaust systems are not included in the Stage 2 Kit - they are added separately from the Kit per se.
Again, like Fireman44 said, the "proof" in the pudding as to whether or not you have a 95 inch SE 2 upgrade (aside from service paperwork showing the work being performed) is to get a baseline dyno run done. That should cost you less than $100.00.
Enjoy your ride.

RE: newbie SE question
Sounds like you are right. i wasn't aware of the differences, but am learning.
Ironically, the dealer offered to hook it up to the basline test you mention for around 30 bucks and I will do it next time I am in for service

RE: newbie SE question
Would you guys say it is a decent Fatboy, or a lot of stuff that I won't really notice.
I feel that I got a good deal on the bike and they claim a guy had put a 3k deposit down and didn't return, which is why I was able to get it for 13k and it had 22000 miles on it.
One of the selling points, for me, was all the chrome, as well as the claim the previous owner was a judge for the antique motorcyle something or other.

RE: newbie SE question
How are the tires,brakes ,paint,chrome,seat stuff like that . If its in great shape you did ok, If you hve to put money in it (other than oil,trans and primary fluid change) not such a good buy.
RE: newbie SE question
another quick check as to whether the motor is a 1550 look at the Vin# on the motor as example 1HD1PDC1*2Y110000 on yours your looking for the letter C that signifies 1550.
maybe this will help
