You have to get their Pro Tuner to go along with your SERT.

I like HQ a lot I had them do my Sportster engine and I am going to have them do my RK engine in a year or two at most.
I'm curious do they have a down load or something to getthe SERT to work with there set up; if not how do they deal with the modern elentronics on these new bikes??
Yes, they do have SERT MAPs for their "packages".

He said it's mostly broke in just don't ride it hard without a good warm up period---after 500 miles going back to syn oil --- yes I do like the HQs stuff --- I was going to ride today but it looks like rain (finally) is in the forecast --- I will practice my burn-outs and side slides as soon as the weather clears.


HQ is the chit......I haven't ridden since Saturday, which was some test runs. I just bought an XBox360 during lunch but it's going to have to wait until I can get a quick ride in. I am impressed with my 95".

You should have talked to Phil about break in. I think it's too late for your bike now, but I did
30 mph - 60 mph 10 plus times in 3rd gear and from what I'm told I'm ready.

I have to agree. I have the 103 kit onmy Street Glide and it has plenty of get up and go. I'm in the 500 mile break in period also. So a little easy going right now.

Hey Lynn,
Glad to hear you like it so far. Start saving your pennies, you will most likely go through an extra rear tire or two this year !!

Fantastic news. Glad you like the power and responsiveness. I am in the process ofbuyinga new 2008 105th AnnivRKClassic (I put my money down and am waiting on the parts to be installed so that I can pick it up and complete the transaction)and I have the dealership putting the Stage 2 103" in it among other things.

lkr0,

Glad to hear all is working out well. I've just had to come to a FULL stop on my plans for building mine to a 95.

Wife has lost her job and all discretionary funds are quite short.

However do have pipes and DTT to put on and get dialed in. In time hope to be where your at again.
