To All:
I have been reading this forums for months, but just became a member & this is my first post. Over 40 years of riding but all on metrics until now. I just purchased on 06 RG. I try to do all of my own work. Since the bike is currently stock, I'm planning to increase the air flow. I like the Samson M-147 slip-ons and K&N filter, but would appreciate some advice on the EFI options. These are probably the only modifications I'll make to the engine. Also any input on the best place to purchase.
Thanks in advance to all that respond, and thanks for all the great info I've already gained from this site.
Mojo

Welcome from Kansas. If you don't get much response to your EFI question here, you might try posting in the Tech Forum for fuel injection.

Welcome and you'll love the RG. I just bought my second one. Just a thought here for ya... Ness Big Sucker Air Cleaner from Eastern Performance, Screaming Eagle Race Tuner from M&M Cycle - and I'd do somechecking around on your pipes etc. I just put my bike into the dealer today for a dyno and a few other things including a new radio that died with just 400 miles on the clock. I put on V&H Tru Duals and their Oval Slip Ons and then drove it over to the dealership for them to carry on. At least is sounded like a Harley with the new pipes although it was running hot so kept her under 3000 RPM and no issues. This is a great forum, enjoy.
