Default Stage 1 Completed!

On Friday I installed a Fuel Moto A/C and a Power Vision on my '13 Ultra Limited and went for a ride with the new fuel map....wow! A whole new bike!!!!

On Saturday I installed a pair of 4" Jackpots and love the sound over the stock slip-ons!!!!!

Last night I installed a decatted stock header and got another whole new bike....with the sound of the Jackpots and the bike running a lot cooler and better, I am a happy camper!!

Just thought I'd share

Congrats! I did a Stage 1 on mine (fullsac 2-1-2, Fuel Moto AC, PV, dyno). I always wonder about guys that claim its like a new bike, not that you're wrong, but I've never had that "new bike" feeling after a stage 1.

Well, maybe the seat and handlebars feel the same, but the tune is a lot better. Coming from the drag racing world, I could feel very small changes in the set-up of the digger, I'm sure this carries over to mc world. Maybe a "whole new bike" is an exaggeration...lol...but there is definitely a world of difference!

Stage I is definitely a seat-of-the-pants improvement over stock. Good you like it. Now on to Stage II for that real "new bike" experience!

I'm with you, brother! The FM stage1 gave me just what I was looking for. My scoot feels and sounds to me the way I figure it should have from the start. It always felt slightly under-powered and sounded like a sewing machine before. Now the throttle response is smooth and predictable, and I love the low rumble without too much BRAP!

Good to hear from another happy owner!
