I agree will all. You should be cool. For optimal performance a FMS would top ya off. Shop around for your breather. I found mine on eBay for $100 less than the dealer wantEd. I had the stock air cleaner b4 hand. Makes a big difference when it's not so choked up.

Check around for PC's to. You can pick them up used pretty cheap. Usually about half of retail...

Keep us posted!! Let's see some b4 and after pics! Good luck!

I know that a lot of parts for the Deuce's are model specific, with that being said, would the one off of your Rocker fit?

Ok, I put a SE Heavy Breather on yesterday evening. I crank it up and when i reved it up a little it kinda sputtered a little, so i took it down the road, maybe a mile, and came back. When i got back it was running fine. Reved it up, sounded good. Cranked it today and once again it kind of sputtered. I didnt have time to take it for a spin. Does it have a learning process to go through or what? I have the Stage one and had a stock free flow already.

I'll get pics as soon as i can.

The warmup issue is not unusual. Save up you pennies and then Contact the Fuel Moto guys and get a Power Commander III pre-mapped for your setup. You'll be happy.
