should I wait a certain number of miles on a brand new 2016 street glide before adding my header, slip ons, intake, and FP3 tuner?

 

No...dealers set them up for stage ones all the time before they leave the dealer after purchase.

 

No, you can do it anytime! Buttttt if you don't want to void the factory warranty than yes, wait until expires. Unless you do not care....

There is a double standard with most Harley dealers, if they do the work, you have a factory warranty, if you do the work, Harley reserves the option to void your warranty.

yes - wait until you get home...

 

Man......So crisp. You'll see......Don't wait.

 

The only number of miles you should wait are the number it takes you to get from the dealership to your house - enjoy

 

fact/ opinion

1.) you have a 2 year factory warranty, unlimited miles.

( so maybe leave it and ride out the warranty)

2.) only HDMC can change the terms of your warranty, not the dealer or any 3rd party- the dealer is usually an LLC, not a part of HDMC
Post #3 could not be more wrong

(letting someone add a computer defeat device ( commonly a "tuner) is the quickest way to void it)

3.) some dealers say "if you buy from us"


( get that in writing as the are offering a "supplemental warranty" with this in writing you can go to court.....but what happens if you are 1000 miles from home? pay for it and hope to get money back or truck broken bike home?



I do stage 1's* after the warranty- if something breaks it is on them

*or easily reversible and non-traceable...sine the 90's HD has logged modifications to bikes brought in for dealer service


so there are some facts ( and my opinions)- make the choice which is best for you

I think I'll do the stage 1, keep the stock stuff, if I have problems with the bike within the warranty, I put the stock stuff back on and let warranty take care of it.

 

If this is your first HD, expect about 10 HP gained

the best bang for buck air cleaner is the Ness big sucker with chrome backing plate
easternc on ebay about $120

but with a stock motor, you could just get a K&N filter and be in good shape

i terms of which tuner- fuelmoto is know for excellent customer service and aftersale care

Ride your new Bike until the 1000 mile service before you do a Stage-I, you want the engine
to brake in, that is just a good rule of thumb.
