Most Afforadable Stage 1 combo?
I'm a new rider (1 year) and after having my sporty for a year, I'm ready to do a stage 1 upgrade. I need it to keep it cheap since I will be doing it for my bike and hers. We have '09 883c's. I don't want crap either, though. One combo I have come up with is SE a/c, cycle shack slip-ons, and the V&H fuelpac, all for around $500. Any other combos or advice? I could stretch the budget a little if the resulting performance is noteworthy. Thanks for any help.

JayPmac,,
Real performance thats a Kick In the *** for an 883,,only one way to go
A 1200/1250 kit,,,Big Bucks,, 20-25 hp and up to 30 ftLbs of Torque
The full stage one will net you 4-7 hp and 5-6 ft Lbs of torque at best,,
Thats AT BEST!
You will feel It,,but a skilled rider who KNOWS the power band
on a stock 883 will still kick yer ***,,Unless you know how to ride
the bike for all It's worth.
On a budjet,,two bikes,,
Go for the sound first,
Rush slip ons,,,1.75"baffles,,a Little de-cell pop,,no harm done
and not gonna make ya too lean..
Save some more coin and add the X14ieD's,,,
Do Intake last,,,

I got my Big sucker for $100 from eastern performance. Why the hell is everyone obsessed with that overrated screaming eagle air cleaner? If you want affordable stay away from it. My Big Sucker A/C, Fuel Pak, and Straightshot slip ons cost me $450 total. Can very easy to find a fuel pak used off someones scoot they have sold or are selling.....or just go a cheaper route than the programmer. Scour the internet dealers and save $
and yes I realize some may like the look of the S/E AC but the op was asking for affordability not cosmetic based

I have to agree and say I dont prefer the looks or price of the SE intake. I think the do it yourself intake can be done for 50 or so and looks way better

People are "obsessed" with the SE A/C because it breathes better than anything else at that price point. Homemade and other cheap A/Cs aren't generally correctly engineered, and will not improve performance in all respects like the SE unit will. Also, unlike many other "Stage 1" A/Cs, the SE retains a reasonable degree of water tightness so you can ride in the rain without ruining the element.
