Default 49 Panhead to 2018 RGS

A friend of mine that’s been riding a Pan for the last 15 years just added a 2018 Road Glide to his stable. It’s completely stock and he wants to wake it up a bit.

I recommended he go with a power package from FM. D&D 2:1, AC, and PowerVision. He can always go stage 2 or 3 later and still use this stuff for the build.

Any input from M8 107 guys on a solid stage 1?

Stage 1 = Good
Stage 2 = Much, much better.

Why wait?

Go ahead and do a cam. The M8 responds amazingly well to a cam swap. It will never sound like the Pan, but a cam swap with pipe and tuner will really put a smile on his face.
