Hi I'm new to the forum. I have a specific question about a Stage 2 upgrade. I have had a Street Bob dyna FXDB 2014 model for the last 5 yrs with Stage 1 and would like a better performing torquey engine. So I can either sell my current bike and get a new 114 or have a Stage 2 conversion on my existing bike, obviously this is by far the cheaper option. I have been given various and contradictory advice about having a Stage 2 upgrade and was wondering if anyone could give me advice about it, whether its worth having it done, does it reduce relability etc? Cheers Charlie
Welcome to the H-D Forums from Idaho , Great to have you here ! ENJOY !
Now if you would please take your questions to the proper related forum and ask there.
This forum is ONLY for the introduction of our new members.
You might try one of the Tech forums, or maybe the forum that deals with your model of bike. I'm sure there are others that have experiences with both options !
Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips. Good Luck!!
