I don't know where everyone gets this stage one stuff. Harley calls it a race tune.
Dallastx you need to do your homework before providing misleading & wrong answers. Again cHarley is right.
Woah! Big words for someone who joined today! Feisty little newb I must say.[:@]

I'm sorry if I offended you but I've been reading posts here for over six months. Yes I just joined but been riding for 25 years. I just don't give much credibility to users who have been here only 6 months and have 2000 posts and their best idea for improving preformance is drilling out baffels.

Thanks for the insight.... I think we should all leave the board and come back in 25 years so we have better credibility.

# of posts does not mean your an expert for sure. There are plenty of people on this site who post ***** their way to over 2000 posts. If you don't actually know the answer to some ones question don't reply!

hey, I have been riding for 16 straight years and I know very little about turning a wrench. I make my money the way I know how and pay some one to do what they know how! Infact I had my brother in laws luaghing the other night cuz they said "man it is going to be a biotch to change that oil with out making a mess," and my reply was, "I don't care as long as they clean it up when they are done!" Does not mean I do not know how to ride, ooops! I better be quiet now before I end up higjacking this post and getting onto a topic other than white spark plugs! [sm=icon_blah.gif]

Thanks guys. I stand corrected. The stage kits must be an after market deal, I saw a few posts on whom makes them.Harley calls their's a race tune. I rode my firstmotorbike when I was 8. By the time I was 15 I was rebuilding the bikes and engines, just like most of you guys. I got married at 24 and had to give up riding until I fired my ex. Well. It look me longer than I was hoping to get a Harley. Sorry if I come across like a n00b somethimes. I'm just so excited to be on a bike again and own the bike of my dreams after all these years.

the only thing ive learned is that im not good at working on motorcycles, not from this board but from the honda forum where i spent the last 2 years at working on an old CB750. some people got it and some dont. I learned alot from that board, have alot of knowledge in my head but cant transfer that to my hands. i cant touch something on a bike without breaking something else first. i think its cause im just too impatient, and get frustrated and instead of standing back and taking a break, or going to buy the right tool for the job first, ill just try to jerry rig something or use a tool i know aint gonna work...but it might! ive gotten into so much trouble and spent so many nights up til 2am cursin with my last bike it drove me insane. you think dealin with one carb is hard, try a 30 year old bike with 4 carbs, and syncin them up to work with each other ta boot. My wife made me swear i wouldnt touch this bike, no matter what id take it in even for an oil change. She got tired of me being an a hole every night, i got tired of it too. Im sure if i wasnt married i would have my bike all tore up in the garage right now wishing i had taken it in to a shop. its not that i dont like working on bikes, i do like it im just not good at fixing mechanical things. that much i figured out.

No offence taken, bro.Maybe I jumped the gun on that one.I just see it on other websites where people join up and start bashing other members, and it gets out of hand. I agree ones post count does not reflect how much they know or how valuble they are to a forum. Welcome, BTW.
