Thumbs up The stage 1 Experience

I just got my bike back yesterday after a stage 1 install and went for about a 400 mile ride today. Man what a difference. The power and that sweet sound of those Rush mufflers. Although I do have to turn up my radio now, but I can live with that. Frank, from SR-Tuning did a fantastic job on my bike. Look him up if you are in Colorado Springs and want someone that pays attention to detail working on your bike, and may I add he has great prices too.

Glad you're pleased with the results; since you say you had a guy tune it you don't happen to have the before and after torque/hp numbers do you?

I'm always interested in not only comparing the numbers but it's also noteworthy to see how the initial numbers stack up vs. the numbers HD states a new stock bike has, as stated in their sales brochures.

Harley's numbers in the brochures are always at the crank, not the rear tire.....keep that in mind when comparing apples to oranges.

Got it Steve, I understand the differences in the means of measurements, thanks, but oranges leave my fingers sticky.
