I'm on the same boat. I have a 2012 RK. Already have the SE Street Performance mufflers on my bike. I plan to go with Rush True Duals head-pipes and SE air intake (keeping the football cover).

Don't plan to go further up the Stage 1 at this time.

With that said, high humidity and sea level rides where I'm at, is the XiED-10 my best route?

What if I take a ride up north and go a tad higher elevation?

Thanks.

Higher elevation wasn't an issue when I used Xied's. How many miles does your bike have on the clock? I ask this because, I'm seeing a pattern where many bikes when they get around 5 to 6k miles on them start to collect carbon in the combustion chamber and pinging results because of it. Should that occur, the Xied's will not help with pinging. My research has found the only way to stop pinging is to retard timing in the affected RPM ranges.

I've got almost 4K on the clock. Now wondering if I should still go this route or spend more for a PC V or the latest Dobeck?
