Default Softail Stage 1

A friend of mine just bought an '04 Softail Standard (EFI) and put Rush slip on mufflers on it.

What air filter and type of re-map do you guys recommend? The stealer wants to charge him $165 for just the download....

WildBillAce2, you may want to do an exhaustive search in the "Engine/Fuel/Intake/Exhaust" and the "Electrical/Ignition/Tuner/ECM/Fuel Injection" sub forum while you are waiting for responses.

There's probably a few ways to go depending on how much $$$ you want to spend and what you are planning for mods down the road.

As far as A/C, many of us use the K&N 3909. You should get an earfull in the "Oil and Oil related topics"

Also, checkout www.nightrider.com, for additional info...

the harley stage 1 download does not change the fuel mixture, therefore it's a waste of money, you can buy a pciii used here for the 165 and be able to make the changes as you go for free (or close to it)

Don't mean to be rude, but the HD Stage 1 does in fact change the fuel mixture. It richens it across the RPM band by 5%. The advantage is once it's done it's done. With the PCIII there is a lot of time consuming downloading and fine adjustments to make. And, the best way of getting the PCIII dialed in is to put the bike on a dyno. So, if he picks up a used PCIII for $165.00 and has to have it dyno'd for another $400.00 where is the savings ????The HD Stage 1 is money well spent for a virtually stock bike with a set of pipes and an air cleaner.
