I had the Stage 1 kit put on my bike and while it did run slightly better, it was still hot and still didn't have the sound I wanted. Don't waste your time on the Stage 1 if your goal is to get rid of the excess heat. I got my bike done today... I kept the Stage 1 air cleaner, but added true duals and aftermarket mufflers. I wish I had done that to begin with and saved some money.
X2 on what he said.
When I first got my 09 Street glide, I couldn't believe the heat.
Went with the true duals, and the Thunder max auto tune, and what a difference. way smoother, way cooler, and sounds like a HARLEY Davidson, not a honda davidson.
Also Welcome from Canada.
