Default Happy Camper

Just picked my fatty lo up from the shop.
I had the stage lV 103 kit installed. Like getting a brand new bike it even has the new bike engine smell.

Anywho, I would like to give mega props to the boys at Worth HD in Kansas City. They were very helpful and actually talked me out of my original plans for a 'more bang for your buck' plan. In other words they down-sold me instead of up-sale me.

Jimmy the parts guy is a stud and Darrell the service guy IS the man.

glad you like it. What is the difference afterwards..better low end or top end or all around? How about cost is it that bad or does it drain the bank account?

@ T-Joe
My original plans were to have the 113 kit installed. After having the *hidden costs* explained to me (the SE catalog doesn't disclose them) I went with the 103. While the 113 IS BADASS the 103 is a little more 'bang for the buck'. True the 103 isn't as awesome as the 113 however, 103 is much cheaper and still provides plenty of haul ***

@skinny
Because I just had it done, I am still in the break in period for the engine so I have been babying the bike. However, I can tell that the bike is like a caged cheetah that is just begging to be turned lose. I can also tell that there are some rough spots that need to be tuned out (I was warned that they were there and a dyna would smooth them out)

As far as cost goes, I am sure that I could have found a cheaper solution but I know the parts fit and that the work was done by qualified people. Basically the service guys found discounts that I didn't know existed and applied them. So while not cheap it wasn't as much as I expected.
