Stage1 O/K?
I know heat / lean is an issue with 07 baggers.
So, although maybe not the ideal mod, is the HD dealer Stage1 kit (K&N), reflash, and SE Slip-ons enough to make it run decent, meaning heat / lean is not extreme?
Has anyone with an 07 bagger just done this, not this plus SERT, PCIII, etc.?

A good riding bubbie has that setup on his 2003 flht. It is still almost as hot as my 07 and says sometimes is to loud on strips(another thread). Not really a complaint though.

RE: Stage1 O/K?
DCRANER- just in a relative comparison to heat. On 8/31/06 got bike and did notice heat was a moderate( really the only)issue I wanted to address on my bike. Asked my buddie on a ride one day how much of a heat issue his 2003 flh has(w/reflash,se air,se slipons) and he said it does get hot too at stops especially on hot days. thats it.
I also asked dealer and they said it would cool off alot after breakin. ok?
Now with 1500miles on bike,last 300mi with 903 download <--heard it helps heat?,synthetic oil at 1k service,oil cooler installed 2 days ago,and broken in,think its way cooler but its winter here(40 to60 degrees). will see in daytona in march. A fuel air system is next step like pc/sert,but I am really leaning toward not messing with it. bikes got pleanty of power and sound for me. Also got the 7yr warr shabang.
I would not trade it for another bike,love it.

i was told by many people that the 'stage 1 download' is a waste of money. youd be better off rolling that cost into a PC3/SERT

Break it in dead bone stock, and I think mine when it comes will already have the 0903 adjustment.
Plan then is to ride it and see if it really needs anything more re: heat / lean. My thought is the Stage1 / reflash is not a major expense and maybe worth a try after breakin.
And, great pic of you and the little ones on the bike.
