Default Tell tale signs your bike has "extra" added from previous owner.

I just bought a used 2013 street glide. My first bike was a 13' slim and this street glide has some crazy power. Apparently same motor as the slim but way more get up and go.
Maybe it's gearing or something the street glide guys can answer but I'm thinking the previous owner went above and beyond stage two and a tuner. What kind of things can I look for to see if there's been mods

May be a stupid question but I need to know. Thanks

rev it up, see where the rev limiter is set...if it revs up to or past 5800 it has a tuner/flash/download.

check for tire debris from burn outs inside the fender

hi flow intake?

catalytic converter removed or headers?

mufflers?

take it to a shop and ask for an evaluation

Why not give the original owner a call?

I envy your location SafetyMan, you're close to the good riding. It's a long way to any type of terrain from Houston.
