Fuel Moto stage one

Ordered and installed FM's stage one kit (PCV, FM air cleaner, Jackpot Dyno slip-ons) on my 2010 RKC and I'm very satisfied with the results so far.

Installation was a breeze and that's coming from someone with limited mechanical skills. I did study the diagram for installation of the SE aircleaner assy and that was helpful with the installation of the FM unit.
Power Commander connection was as easy as advertised although I'm still working on the best arrangement for stowing the connections etc under the seat.

The Jackpot slip ons are exactly what I was looking for - very deep sound that isn't too loud. They are louder than stock and bark pretty well when you really get on the throttle but idle and cruising volumes are perfect for me.

I noticed a substantial difference in power especiall at lower rpms. Wider range of power is maybe the best way to describe it along with stronger throttle response; again just what I had hoped for.

All in all I'm very pleased and the folks at Fuel Moto were great to deal with; I had a few questions for them along the way and they were super.

Now I'm just hoping the weather here in Ohio will hold out for a couple more weeks!

I think your experience is typical, and I still believe their Power Package is the best Stage 1 kit available in terms of performance and overall quality.

I just put on my FuelMoto Headpipe and touring muffs along with the PCV that they had mapped. Awesome! Took 1 hour to do the whole thing. The fit was perfect. A straight forward install. Only had to flatten out the crossover pipe mesh gasket with a round screwdriver to get it all together. The bike is like a Hyenna witha cattle prod up it's rear. Ye Ha Jamie, This setup is awesome!
