Engine will remain stock on mine.... well untill at least i,m ready for a change. Maybe 80-90K. Then I will just build the motor and poof....new bike with lots more power. I only added slip ons, and a air kit and stage 1 DL because of the heat. The rest of the bike however is far from stock

I seem to be the only person alive that is happy with the new bikes' stock hp/tq, mileage, etc. The only thing about the stock motorI didn't care for was the sound.That was addressed with 1.75" Rush slip-ons.Am I crazy or what?Please tell meIm not the only one.

I love my 08 sg stock! But now I love it more:
C.B.
xm
gps
abs
race tunner
rush mufflers
fat boy front fender
lots of chrome
Doesn"t take much to make me happy! Ride on !!!

RE: Happy with stock performance?
As I have owned mine a rockin'5 days, it is obviously stock and I am happier than a tornado in a trailer park. having said that, I keep hearing about heat issues, and adding Stage 1. I haven't noticed any heat issues. I am 6'2"and ride solo, so maybe it is just the way I sit on her. Going for a couple hundred miles this weekend, maybe I will understand then.
As far as the pipes, I like the traditional HD sound, and I like being able to hear the radio, so no plans to change anything there . . . yet.
But bottom line, I bought a stock HD because I wanted a Harley, sounds like you did too.

Mine is stock and I haven't any plans to change a thing. It is smooth and plenty of power for me. I also appreciate good gas mileage and I keep hearing that limbering up the EFI for more power and cooling results in decreased mileage. I bought new in August, the hottest month in Southern Utah and there are no heat problems I can't live with. I did install the midframe heat shields. As for the sound, I MIGHT try the Rush 1.75, but not until I've heard them. I don't value noisy pipes. Been there, done that, took 'em off.

Very happy with stock performance on my 08 Roadglide, especially coming off of a 80 inch evolution Road King.
Only thing that bothers me is the heat of the 96 inchmotor. Considering Niterider's 02 IED's to cool it down some.
