Was thinking of getting a few of the less expensive Screamin Eagle upgrades done soon on my 2005 883 C and wanted some feedback to see if ones i'm thinking about are worthwhile. Was trying to keep things simpler (cheaper) by not getting into actual major engine mods but rather the ones below.
1) Pro II pipes (HD #84424-04)
2) Pro high flow air cleaner kit (#29042-04A)
I imagine would need the carb rejetted at a minimum with either one or both the above done or maybe even a
3) DynoJet kit (#29045-97B)
4) Pro Performance ignition system (#31758-04A)
5) Performance spark plug wires (#31958-04)
6) Performance spark plugs (couple different types in HD catalog)
Not sure if 3 to 6 would make as much difference or not as 1 to 2?
Any ideas on how much labour should be charged to do the stuff above.
(most of these are "crossed flag" rated so not supposed to be legal on street. Anyone have these and been hassled anywhere for noise or whatever in Canada or States?)
all those mods will add up but the increas will not be that noticable, the most bang you can get for your buck is to do a 1200 kit on that puppy. good luck
Be aware that the ign module you listed, (31758-04A) is the one that retards the timing on wide open throttle. I used (31784-04A), it raises the rev limit, but leaves the timing alone.
I just had my stage I done on my 2005 1200C. Kept my existing pipes with the baffles drilled out, rejet and SE high flow air cleaner and it made a huge difference. I was surprised at how much more zip it has in all gears and power ranges. It's a little loud but I will get used to it. $250 dollars for the whole deal.
