Very nice looking bike. Much more class than the GW. I agree with others that it prob already has full stage one.
If you ride two up, I suggest the HD armrest, they look good and the wife loves them. I have only had my Limited a couple of months and about 3K miles so far.
Blue Duck - How do you like the Jackpots, I believe that is what I am going to do. Is the sound fairly quiet? And what cupholder is that you have?

Nice. I would like to know your opinion of the differences between the 2. Like a quick and dirty comparison.

I like the Jackpots. They sound good but I would not describe them as loud. Not quiet but not obnoxiously loud either. I can hear my stereo doing 80 on the Highway just fine. Can't remember the make of the cup holder. I bought it at the dealer with some leftover Harley bucks.

To the Op: You will enjoy the bike. As far as acceleration, Mine is a stage 2 with Woods 555 cams, pc5,SE filter. I also did the FuelMoto headpipe to eliminate the Cat. That is as far as I plan to take this bike as far as mods to the engine. The bike dyno'd at 92hp and 106tq. Though not GW numbers acceleration is very good with this setup and I am happy with it. In 30 days this bike will be 3 years old I have put 30k on it and enjoy it very much.The best way the power was described to me was what one of my buddies whom I gave my VTX 1800 to said after we swapped bikes so I could rekindle my torque fix on that monster. His words were " My bike (his VTX) has more grunt but yours is peppier". I ride with about 10 GW's twice a year and at one time thought I wanted one until test riding one. For all that bike has to offer in terms of performance (I was not all that comfortable on it), my desire to own one is at 0%.

Good luck!
