I believe you will loose some bottom end because the cross over pipe is removed.

I switched to a #46 slow jet and #180 main jet, also shimmed up the needle a bit. I am all about looks and sound, hp is last.

My 06 Deuce is EFI, I talk to the mechanic that done the stage 1 kit on my bike and he said that i would not need to adjust anything. I live in south louisiana and said he set it up just right, don't have any poping and gas milage is ok. Thanks for the replyi

I have a 04 deuce with big radius installed.

I didnt loose any performance at all. Actually could tell more response.

I then took baffles out and lost bottom end but i dont care i want to be heard. You really cant even tell difference. Loss is very minimal on bottom end only.
