Default Stage 1 kit question...

Planning on adding a stage 1 kit with a Fuel Pac on my '06 Road King, and have 2 questions:
1. Does it matter which kit, Harley vs aftermarket??
2. How hard is it to do myself?...I have slight to moderate wrenching abilities!!


Thanks for the help!!!

Mike,

You don't need to buy HD Stage I air flow kit. Arlen Ness Big Sucker is pretty popular, and costs less. It's also pretty easy to install (15 minutes.) If you're going with a K&N filter, buy the cleaning and oiling kit too.

Mike, I agree with kahuna. It is very easy. I have no experiance with wrenching on scoots and a buddy was watching/helping me and we did it in an hour (SE A/C, slip on pipes and a triple windshield bag - which took longer than the SE A/C). I have SERT but I heard the Fuel Pac is as easy. Good luck and you will love the results. HAGO! Remi

Mike,

Air cleaner was very easy install. I have no wrenching capabilities and was able to do it. Just follow the instructions that come with it.

You'll enjoy the changes.

Peace,
