After my Stage 1, there was a significant seat-of-the-pants difference. I remember twisting the throttle as I left the dealership and almost falling off the back of the bike. While that may sound like BS, my friend was riding with me and bust out laughing.

While my RKC is no drag bike with a stock TC88 and simple HD Stage 1, it's a lot faster than it was stock. Money well spent, IMHO.

 

I just had a dyno run this weekend and here's the numbers

SE AC
SE Pro Slash slip ons
PC III
SE 203 cams
Rest is stock

71.63 HP
87.0 ft-lbs

And yes I drove my neighbors stock 06 ultra then my 02, and the seat of the pants difference is significant. I'm a believer in lots of torque and the 203 cams made a big improvement there.

While not the exact set-up you were asking about, it is close. And here are the numbers:

SERT -- and painstakingly fine-tuned dyno
K & N filter
Samson Rolled Thunder pipes
all synthetics

75 hp
95 ft lbs

The actual result is obvious anytime I am riding with a friend who also has a '05 Ultra -- though his is bone stock. From start, I leave him behind easily. From cruise to pass, I do it without thinking about it -- and he has to plan for it. Quite the difference in response.

This guy is dreaming?

 

Upgrades you list will make the scooter breathe better and perform better than stock. If you really wanna hot rod, you have chosen the wrong machine...............unless you spend lots and lots and lots of money. If you are happy with how it performs stock, save your money for whatever makes yer heart happy.[sm=wtf.gif]

 

Nice numbers! I have similar, except I have Rinhart Tru-Dual and SERT.

My HP was about 78 and 77TQ.

 

I have to say...I did the upgrade...pipes, K and N , and PCIII. I didn't notice a big difference. But then again, I seldom run her hard. I just cruise it along. A friend said he noticed a difference on my bike. So i am sure there is an increase...but my perception (being an average joe) was that there was only a little.

 

Its night and day, It takes a bike that is so-so to ride and really wakes it up. They should come that way out of the box.

 

Like upgrades!!!
