Drop $1K on intake, tuner & exhaust...bank the rest for later, or use to take a nice trek smewhere. Shouldn't be a need to sink $3K into new bike right out the gate.

Personally, I'm happy with my 2011 SG's performance (for now). But if I had 3 grand to spend, I'd get the tuner and intake. Any money left over would go to backrest, highway pegs, and speaker upgrades. Internal engine work needs to be done in a way, so as not to void the warranty. So ride the **** out of it until the warranty is out and then you can either trade up to a 110 cvo or save your pennies for the internal upgrades.

Sounds about right to me. Maybe bars and a windshield - depending on whether you have buffeting/comfort issues. PM grips, Bright *** tail light and an internal antenna would be high on my list too...



PC V
stage 1 or heavy breather intake
fuel moto head pipe or gutting the stock one
These 3 are definitely on the list

Probably also do
passenger boards and highway pegs
Seat upgrade of some sort (thinking about the Lepera Villain)
Floorboard extensions
speaker upgrade (boom audio or something else)
and either try and find a tourpak or a luggage rack for my big T-bag

Yup I agree intake, tuner and exhaust and set up for 2 up if you have to. Then slow down and evaluate and give it a little time. Speaking for myself I have got all ramped up and bought stuff to quickly only to change my mind on style, brand or whatever etc.

Shocks...
See, there is something I didn't even consider, which is dumb because this bike does seem to ride harsher than my Fatboy. I've played with the air adjustment a ton and can not seem to find that perfect setting.

I've really kicked around the idea of a cam swap, and it's by no means out of the question, but I'm honestly pretty happy with the performance of the 103".. especially after getting off a stock 88" fatboy.

My main goal is get rid of the heat of the cat, get more of that "harley" sound I've been missing, improve comfort, and lastly add a little more style if possible.

My buddy has a set of the boom audio speakers in his 07 SG, and I'm honestly pretty impressed by them. I can actually hear his stereo over mine on the highway when I pull up next to him.
