getting my v&h straightshot slip ons put on this weekend and keep reading about the stage 1 and thinking about maybe doing that as well, if i have the money. the installation of the pipes is free because the guy that services my bike is going to install them for me, so that gives me a lil extra to work with.

my question is what would i need to buy for the stage 1? i know the stealership is going to charge me out the **** to do it most likely but im just looking at cost of what i need right now.

i see that the SE air kit is $140...what else do i need? and any idea how much labor im going to be charged? just to prepare myself..lol

 

New carb jets and one hour of labor is what I was quoted. The jets are running me $8.

 

just realized that SE air kit is for 07...i got an 06 1200 custom sporty

 

The kit you need is in the Screamin Eagle catalog, not the regular one. It still runs $139.95.

 

It will about $250.00 parts and labor for the SE kit and re-jet at a dealer.

 

If you're putting on the pipes, you might as well get the stage 1 done at the same time, or you'll be back to have it done in a few weeks

 

If your doing the work yourself find a indy shop that specializes in racing dirt bikes. The Sporty has a Mikunui carb as do most of the import dirt bikes. I got the jets and needles for about 3-4 dollars apiece.

 

I just put on some slips...Rineharts on an 07 night. I didn't think I would need to do anything because I didn't change the A/C....BUT, I was wrong. By adding just the slips I really leaned out the fuel which caused some crackling and backfiring. I got the stage 1 today and it took away the backfiring and some of the crackling. There is still some cracks on decel but it's something I can live with. When I can afford it I'm going to do it right and get the SERT or another FMS.
Just my $.01

I just cut the back of my stock air box and jetted runs great.
