Default Stage 2 upgrade

I just dropped my bike off at the shop, it is going to be a long week. I'm having a Stage 2 upgrade done this week. Last weekend I pulled off my SE slip-ons and put on V&H 2x1 Pro pipes.Tthe sound is great (loud and deep)and the added power is a shock.

I have been planning the upgrade for a while, but being without my bike all week is going to be tough!!!! Once it is back I have to live through the break in period and then I'm back on the road.

The stage 2 upgrade is complete. I got my bike back Friday and put over 340 miles on over the long weekend. It is basically a new engine so I have to go through a standardbreak in period. I took it easy all weekend, but I can really feel the difference in tork. With the new V&H 2 into 1 Pro pipes the sound is great (although neighbors may not totally agree). If it will stop raining I will finish the break in and get out on the road to really feel the tork and horsepower.

Im, sure you will feelsome addedtorque but, you will need some head work and some different cam profiles to get the HP feeling!

that being said, I love the bike! nice color, great styling!
