Some dealers might try to give you a problem with warranty issues, but they can't legally. And most won't say anything about it.

There may be a few exceptions (such as explicit wording in the warranty) but the adding of parts generally will not void the warranty in full. It's only an issue if you have a warranty related repair AND they can prove that the added item SPECIFICALLY caused the failure/problem at hand. At that point they can deny paying the claim for that particular repair but even then I don't think you void the whole warranty.

It's a grey area and in most cases the owner will win over the repair facility. If you apply the reasonable man test you should be fine. There is a lot of warranty folklore going around but most of the time you are fine.

Oh, having said all that, I would expect them to try to sell you an air cleaner and download or race tuner/fueler to complete your Stage 1.

You should have NO problems at all. However, like bensonjv said, they may try and sell you the AC and download, but this time of year they are usually too busy to bother even with that...

What year is your bike? I have been looking around for some cycle shacks for my 07 1200C but can't find them. Thanks for your input.
