Default First Harley
Bought my first harley this week. A 2013 Electra Ultra classic.
Question: Considering the stage 1 mod kit, Is it worth the upgrade and if so would it be best to install after the break in period? or is it OK prior to delivery?

Welcome from the Sunshine State. Upgrades are always worth it, but is that the upgrade that is best for you?

Welcome to the HDForums from Texas.

It must be nice to have the money to mod a brand new bike.
