RE: difference in SEII slip-ons?
Got the bike back, and wow, yeah, it's _so_ much louder now... almost to the point that I was getting a headache while riding around. Hopefully I'll get used to it soon. Also, there seemed to be less power than the bike used to have... I thought this "stage I" was supposed to increase power some?

Thanks. I should know for sure tomorrow -- going 2-up on the Hunt for Hope ride. Yeah, hopefully it's just the new sound making me think it's weaker... If not, it'll be going right back! 
One thing is for sure -- I love the very deep rumble I now have at the low rpm's!!

IT should make a big improvment in the performance but the sound of the pipe's may be playing with you some too but you may want your dealer to look at it because it may be runnin to lean or rich. but just my .02 cents. and congrats on the pipe's.

You lost some low end torque with the upgrades, mid range out you gained some.

Well I just got back from about 80 mi of riding, both single and 2-up. She definitely has more power -- ****** is right, it's lost a little in the low end, but gained quite a bit in the mid > full throttle.
2 or 3 times it gave a backfire and loss of power when starting up from a red-light. Is that a problem or is that normal?

I noticed something else -- almost every other time I kill the engine after a ride, it grumbles and putts a couple or even a few times before it finally dies. Any ideas what this could mean?

RE: difference in SEII slip-ons?
hi motorcycles H/D here in the U/K.i live in south yorkshire near sheffield,my nearest dealer is in chesterfield called HARLEY WORLD.ok so after run in on stock spec i went to H/W,i saw Jamie the service manager for advice on upgrades & i went for stage 1 tune.so what did they do/fit----well here it is__1=5000 miles service=2=slow jet#45,883/1=3=se a/c kit xl 04+=4=kit dino jet=5=slash out mufflers xl s/e 2.right so what have i got for a considerable outlay[baring in mind this is the U/K & much more expensive than the USA].well its good, could not of asked for much more[working round the parameters of the xl 883r engine],there is no popping & banging on overrun,no bogging down,no mixture problems!!.the bike runs crisp,spins up good & the engine feels PIN ON.i know the 883r is an entry level machine, but i just LOVE IT,& ihave tryed them all[jap,german,italian].the way i see it, it comes down to the TECH that fits the system & his breathing onit a bit.hope this is of some use,tara for now,lollypop in the U/K.
