Default New from St. Louis
Just traded in my '01 Goldwing GL1800 TODAY for a '14 Ultra Classic. Have to wait about a week while they're installing the Stage 4 and other goodies. This is my FIRST Harley and I have to say that this whole experience, even on day one, has been something extraordinary. That aside, wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm looking forward to learning. Live in the 'burbs of St. Louis, and love to ride. Made the switch from the 'Wing cause truly, I've always wanted a Harley but talked myself out it. My wife finally told me stop rationalizing and get what I've always wanted... LOVE IT! - Murph

Welcome!

Not sure what stage 4 is, but if it is something done by an HD dealer forget it. Waste of money. You can get much better performance upgrades for less if you stay away from HD and Screaming Eagle.

Really? NOT being sarcastic. Didn't know that... they already ordered the parts. From Harley, the Stage 4 "This Street Performance kit provides the maximum horsepower output for a legal 103 kit that will maintain the factory warranty."

Thanks for info!

In the future, any suggestions on where/who for upgrades? I freely admit that I am completely new to HD....

Appreciate it.
