I'm impressed with the performance, being warranty and EPA compliant. The hard part is knowing what is being left on the table by remaining EPA compliant.
Is the dealer in Chula Vista still around? I haven't been there in about 25 years.
If you're talking about Sweetwater HD, actually in National City but right on the border with Chula Vista, yes, they're still around....
I used them for a service several years ago. I got my bike back and the trans plug was leaking. I found the o-ring was pinched and looked pretty bad. I'm not sure if they destroyed the o-ring putting it together, or reused a bad o-ring that pinched when they were tightening the plug... either way, it didn't speak highly of their attention to detail... I never went back...
I thought about doing the HD stage IV when I picked up my bike, then I looked at charts.... couldn't pay me to put that on my bagger! Worse than stock from 2-3000 rpm? We're at 2500 at 65 mph. Roll on power please....
I've been debating the stage 4 myself or a FM 117" kit. I've been hearing some negative comments on the stage 4 kit in regards to problems. For those who've done them, worth the higher HD cost or not? The FM kit and install will cost me less than the HD kit by itself.
Just had the stage 4 done to my 2017 RGS. I paired the kit with a Screamin Eagle Ventilator Intake, V&H Pro Pipe, and TTS Tuned. I came out at 118HP / 109TQ which is what I was expecting for numbers. The best part is my local dealer did the Stage 4 parts and labor for free with the purchase of the bike.

Congrats, glad you like it. HP numbers are good, I wonder why the torque numbers are coming in lower on some that I've seen. My stage 2 is at 107tq. Seems like the stage 4 would be equal or higher than the hp numbers.
