I'll be curious to see if you can stick with the "keeping it stock" idea. It takes discipline (or so I've heard.)
Thanks SLV! I am very excited! I really love the look of this bike, and how I fit on it. I am also looking forward to my first bike with a 6th gear, and electronic cruise.

Have to agree with that SLV, going to be difficult not to mod it 😎

In the not so distant future, I think it will be Leather Pro quick release bags, and quick release windshield for longer trips.
you should at the very least consider a stage 1 and a good synthetic lube in all three holes as soon as possible
Enjoy the bike and ride safe

The SE110 comes with synthetic. Mission accomplished!

That was easy.

Aren't these bikes considered a stage 1 mod from the factory?

My understanding is yes the AC is considered a stage 1, when I added the 2 into 1 exhaust I was going to add a new AC, the HD service manager said I didn't need it. So far with the exhaust and basic tune she rides great. I am considering a Roland Sands V Stack AC cause I like the way it looks not cause I need it functionally.

Sort of. It could be a stage 2 with a higher flowing exhaust. Stage one is intake and exhaust. Stage two is stage one plus cam's.

The intake is a higher flow intake, but it does use a paper filter that needs replacing periodically. A K&N reusable filter is a good idea. The work better over a longer period.

SLV, thanks for the heads up, when I take it in for the 1000 mile service/dyno tune I will make sure to get a reusable K&N filter.

Hey, the La Pera Seat in the picture, what seat is it and how do you like it vs stock. I don't mind stock, other than the fact the torque slides my *** to the fender lol.
