Same for me. Buying used form a Kia dealership gave me no indication what had been done. But I love my Hog and it runs great. Not really planning any motor mods at this time, but would be nice to know where I am and where I could go with it. If I have understood correctly, with a K&N hi flo air cleaner and Kerker slip ons, it would require a tune or mapping, right? Which really makes it a Stage 1 kit? The 2016 Street Glide I rode at Thunder in the Rockies a few weeks back didn't have the same kind of snap mine does, but it was bone stock and from Wisconsin (Does that mean it hat cats? I forgot to look) and that was a group Demo ride and I didn't get to open it up like I would had it been a real test ride. I am in no way saying my 88TC is on par with a brand new 103". Just wondering what mine has tucked behind the cam plate or if Stage 1 makes that much of a difference.

Morning, Ken!
18 Craig.
Yup, Stage 1, Mark. A tuner wood be tucked behind one of your sideplates, I believe. '16s will have cats. Doesn't HAVE to have a tuner, but they are recommended.
