Question ? from newbie

Hi everyone. Im kinda new around here. I lurk often and read everything I can to learn. But I have acouple questions for the gurus.

1- I am going to add a stereo to my scoot, Is there anyone out there that has stereo kits other than HD or Biketronics. (wanting to retain hand control function)

2- I want to install a K&N filter. keeping the stock backing plate. My thoughts are with the stock plate, it wont draw more air, just flow better through the filter. Is this right? and if that is the case, then a fuel management wouldnt be nessesary?

Any insight on these subjects would be very much appreciated.
thanks in advance

The Biketronics setup is great, I have one and yes you do maintain hand control functions.

Can't answer the other question...got Carb!

+1 for Biketronics. Hawg-wired also makes a very nice module and installation kit though somewhat more $$$ than Biketronics.

YES, you can replace your stock filter element with a K&N element and no other mods will be necessary. The K&N element in itself will allow a slightly better air flow but not nearly enough to alter your air/fuel mixture.

#1 on adding the stage one air cleaner and PC III. Then get a dyno tune when you can, then all you have to do is new rear tires every 8 to 10 k miles. Welcome to the forum!!
