Thinking KingGlide refers to what performance tuners always did. Stuff like balance and blueprint the mill for starters.

Truth is hard to come by and for the most part, people don't want it.
This "Stage shet" is exactly that.
Crap, drek, BS, selling the dumbasses a bike twice.
Maybe the waxnposers need the truth, but it will be hard to digest without about 600 cc of novocaine and morphine in each arm.
HD selling anyone a bike detuned on purpose is a scam!
Yet these people fall for it and brag about their being taken to the bank!. Again and again!
A real shop would treat them better, and get them real power for less.
I tell everyone all the time when buying a New Bike get to the desk, ready to sign the papers but say " WAIT !"
"That price has to include all the Fkn stage kits too ! "
Stop being fools!

Thanks for all of the feedback (even you KingGlide), sounds like it's a matter of getting to that back plate. I'll also take the advice to read out the FP to see what it's programmed to.

I just tell it like it is.
I often say the truth hurts.

If everyone starts the boycott it will work.
Simple.
Or go to Indian where all the parts come as they should have in the first place.
Why oh why buy a bike they intentionally have detuned so you would buy it again?
What is so special about being screwed out of your money two times?
And- like I said- be dumb enough to brag about it.
