need to ask experts about my SG
How hard is it to take off the inner fairing???? i am a good wrench so ill be tackling it on my own.
How much of a difference will i see in a SE air cleaner and download? power wise? is it even worth it?
how will 18" front and rear wheels affect the handlin?
And i have a good wobble when i corner hard on my glide i notice that when i ride with my wife the increase in weight help cut the wobble nearly out. is there a magic number i can dial the shocks too or but some newer ones or what can i do to cut this down cause my SG actually corners hard and i like the curvy back roads

OUTER fairing removal takes 5 minutes. Do a full stage one with a PCIII, well worth it. 18" wheels will not adversely affect handling. Keep your wife on at all times to eliminate any wobble!

RE: need to ask experts about my SG
The inner fairing is not hard to remove... Use the manual and you will be fine....
Stage I Legal is what you are referring to.... Small difference... you might want to think about the SE Slip-ons with the Race Flash.. Better performance...
18" wheels look great... Hard to get tires for them if you are out on the road in East BFE, after you had a puncture or a catastrophic failure, let alone the price of them...
Take your rear shocks to 15 to 20 psi for dominant 2 up riding...
You have shorter rear shocks than stock, it will affect how the bike corners...

RE: need to ask experts about my SG
Going to take longer than 5 seeing as you didn't mention that part.... prolly 1/3 hour
If you already have the SPO's mounted, the Stage I will do NO GOOD..... You Might squeak by with a race flash, but you might want the SERT or PC III for the proper tuning....
The Stage I Flash is designed for CERTAIN PACKAGES.. and those S&S Muffs are not part of the kit....
06 Touring & FLSTSCI
1450 Stage I Legal 34232-06/DT 8 SE A/C w/ Stock or Active Performance Exhaust
1450 Stage I Legal 34365-06/DT 25 SE A/C w/ Stock or Active Performance Exhaust
1450 Stage I Race 34409-06 8 SE A/C & SE Pro Performance Mufflers

RE: need to ask experts about my SG
Do you have a Reputable Dealer???
Be point blank with them and ask them...
Yes, It is a race component, but are you doing any other mods to the motor???
Make sure that you get it tuned by a knowledgeable and experienced tuner....

RE: need to ask experts about my SG
i talked to my dealer and asked him when i did pipes he said go ahead he will cover it all.... also i expressed interest in a 1550 kit with his guru doing my port work ( he did my sportster i built and it made 101hp at the rear wheel 94 ft/lbs of torque) he said if i let them install the kit, cams,and the race tuner and dyno it for around $3800.00 he would warranty all of it UNLESS we had trouble in the heads and then he would make up what harley didn't.... real nice guy but i do ALL my wrenching and i built the hot sporty for less than 1500. and beyond a shadow of a doubt i can do this but i can't warranty it and i got all 5 years left. maybe thats a good price for warranty and HP
