Default RE: leaving a bike bone stock.

I intend to keep my bike's engine stock. When I ordered it I told the dealer that I wanted to hear the exhaust note. Nothing too loud, I just did'nt want it to sound like a lawn tractor. That led to the basic Stage 1. SE II slip-ons, SE air cleaner, and H-D download (with switch to 25 degree injectors). I can tell you that I am perfectly happy with the way it runs. Even when riding with a passenger and luggage, I find that the power is adequate. If I had a need for speed, I would buy a sport bike ( and save a few bucks) which will blow away any H-D, regardless of engine mods. My top priority is reliablility. The more you trick up the engine, the less reliable it usually becomes. My wife and I just returned from a trip down to Virginia in which we racked up about 1,700 miles. All of it trouble free.

My '07 SG is dead stock. But then again, I don't pick it up until 08-28-07!
So what is the dealer changing? What do you have on order?
IT's a stock SG and the DEALER won't be doing anything. I'll do a IDS, T-Max, pipes and AC myself.

My RKC 07 is stock. No pipes, No engine mods, No nothing.
Why do you ask?

Stock???? WTF is that??? Never heard of it. I have actually run across a few people with bone stock bikes. Not too often but it does happen.
