Ok, I finally got some SE1 slip ons, had to get them on ebay because I couldn't find any new ones. How do I get a Stage One intake kit, Screaming Eagle parts are hard to find. Will I be able to jet it myself? I have a 98 XL Custom.

 

Hey Sally not sure where your from but I do know a guy in Sanford Florida that has the screaming eagle air cleaner because I just got one from him for my 97 1200C.
Here is his info

Hey Sally,

I just did a Stage I myself on an 883. It is very simple and you can do it yourself. First off, do not drill out the vent hole in the top part of the carb. In fact, do not even take the top part of the carb apart at all. The instructions will say to remove it, drill out the vent hole with the included drill bit and install washers on the needle. This is not necessary and the top plate with the new lighter spring and diaphram are extremely difficult to get back on correctly. All you need to do is change the slow speed and main jets, adjust the idle screw (which you will have to drill a clear plug out to get to but it is very simplt). Start by screwing this plug completely in and then back out 2-1/2 turns. This along with the increased jet sizes is critical to keep the bike from running lean. Then run the bike and check the plugs. You do not want to see white tips on the plugs (a sign of a lean engine). If running lean, you may be able to correct by increasing the jet sizes, but most likley can do so by adjusting the idle speed screw a little more. Not sure which direction is lean verses rich. I currently have a post on the forum to try and figure this out. Bottom line, without a dyno, it is a bit of trial and error, but this is all the Harley shop will do, if they even bother to check the fuel / air ratio by reading the plugs. If your running lean, they figure you'll be back to them later on for additonal repair work.

There is a great article from the forums TCSTD on this issue somewhere and you can find thru the search option. I wish I had read this first because I went ahead and did the top of the carb per the jetting kit instructions. YOU DO NOT NEED TO MESS WITH IT. It is completely unesassary.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks Raym, I have a jet kit coming and think I can do it. I also went ahead and got a hypercharger. They wanted $60 for a K&N to fit in my stock intake, or $170 for the whole works.
