Did you install a fuel management system (IE: SERT, PCIII, etc) and upgrade to a larger intake?

No I have not yet. I wanted to see how she ran without, seems to be just fine, but I am thinking on a new air filter, and V&H fuel pack, I just haven't decided on which air filter yet.Is the Arlin Nessa big sucker washable?

A word about the Harley fllter...........the gasket sucks. Instead of washing it at 20,000 miles, replace it with the K&N, which only needs servicing every 50,000 mles.

Yes I did it myself, it was a piece of cake, only took about an hour. 3 bolts, wiggle the old muffler and pull, slide right off. I used the old clamps instead of the new ones. The stock ones looked like they would hold up better. Oh, bty I just got home from my ride after putting them on,( 130 miles) I love um. They sound great going down the road, and I can still hear the radio I'll get pics as soon as my daughter brings home my camera.

By the way, pipes look great, and with the SE AC and remap, the Ultra runs and sounds awesome.

I'm always amazed at all of the riders who are always searching for the "magic bullet", when the HD Stage 1 kit works so well.

the bike will run fine w/o the larger air intake, or any ECM mods. The only benefit to doing this is a louder exhaust sound. If you want to get some more power, the SE a/c (washable) along with the SE ECM download is an easy upgrade that requires zero brains to install. This Stage 1 setup is good if you do not plan on any further engine mods. If you are planing on further mods, the SERT is the way to go, but it's pricey, and requires a lot of skill and a dyno to dial it in.

I have been going round and round about this very decision Fuel managment or Download I hear all the download does is up

I am not sure if I am 100% correct on this: The download does allow it to rev higher. It also keeps the same air to fuel ratio. However, by installing the Stage1 air cleaner (or whatever brand you choose), you change the amount of air that can enter the engine. By doing so, the ECM has to put more fuel into the airstream to keep the ratio at the correct percentage. If you didn't do the download, you would get into a leaner mixture and since right now it is on the very edge, which would cause serious engine damage.

Nobody knows your bike better than the boys back in Milwaukee! I know there are 1001 backyard engineers who will disagree with me, but the Harley ECM download not only changes the rev limiter, but also reprograms the ECM correctly. There is much more to it than "I got 2 more HP with my PCIII" There are, among other things, fuel consumption, engine life, cooler running, correct fuel/air mixture during warm-up, and probably lots more. I'm no hero......I'm have always gone with the factory boys, w/o any disappointments.
BTW........the new SE slip-ons+the SE a/c+the download are perfectly matched to each other. The SE slip-ons are fairly quiet when new, but they develop a beautiful mellow sound that is unrivaled after about 2,000 miles. It doesn't happen all at once, but it just gets better and better as you ride.
