Default Stage 1 questions 2018 Iron 883

I want to go stage 1 on the 2018 iron 883. Need some opinions on a good air cleaner and tuner for the VH big radius 2-2!

Not all air cleaners are the same.

Check out the HiFlow Air Cleaner Systems that will fit your Sporty HERE.

Many different looks, but the Outlaw 636v will yield the largest performance increase.

The Outlaw 425, 587 & 606 are very close to the 636v.

You can read about the differences HERE.


Here is a LINK to an overview of the popular tuning options.

I personally like the Power Vision the best, but the V&H FP3 is also a nice option. You can see detail on them both at this LINK.


What you are describing is a Stage I upgrade (exhaust, tuner & air cleaner).

Stage I's are NOT created equal, and a good one will make a significant difference.

Here is a LINK on an overview of Stage I Upgrades.


As you can see from the chart below, a good Stage I will make quite an increase in performance.
