I'm not sure how many stages, but do you still have your factory 1 up seat?

Stage I generally refers to intake,exhaust, and carb re-jet/EFI re-map.
Stage II usually means getting into the engine with cams, head work, maybe ignition.

The problem is that these terms are slung around about as much as "bobber", "Chopper", and "lowrider" so no one really knows what they mean because everybody refers to their bike as one of the three. Most of them I would call a stock bike with new handlebars.

Example: My neighbor has a Honda CBR. He put an complete exhaust kit on it and says it is "Stage I". I was talking to a guy at a cruz in this morning riding a Kawi Vulcan. He had a performance intake and mufflers. He said he rejetted the carb too. He said once he gets his cams in he'd have a "Stage I".

And to answer the question that your are thinking of right now...

I ride a Stage 2.3 Bobbed Chopper.

how come you didn't just ask the stealer what that encompasses? if i can't take care of the thing myself and ultimately have to go there, i never walk out of that place without a clear understanding of what was done. just some food for future thought.

good luck.
