I a stock RG, then mine after the Stage 1 download, breather, and Rinehart slip ons. Nothing too crazy, but def needed.

Going back I have done some type of fuel management from get go.

The difference by just increasing air in/out and a little extra fuel makes a HUGE positive difference.

Dealer assured me that the Stage 1 set up I used would in no way compromise the warranty.

Have enjoyed the 800 miles so far with it installed. Performance and mileage is very acceptable. Will dyno some time over the winter and after a few more miles.

I put Monster Ovals on my FLTR and want to add the Power Commander V and high flow A/C as soon as the PC-V is available from Fuel Moto. I am doing it more to richen the combustion and let the motor run cooler more then anything else. (NO deceleration popping at all, sounds perfect)

Just by adding the new mufflers I think I notice an increase in power already, although that is judgemental and hard to prove one way or the other without putting it on a dyno. I am told (and believe) that if anything, the new mufflers are making a lean running motor run a bit leaner and I am concerned about the heat. I'm actually glad its soon to be winter so that the ambient outdoor temperatures work in my favor now.

I have a 09 Road King with 2inch Rush Slip ons, SEAC and SEST. Performance wise you pick up some extra torque and hp, plus it runs cooler and of course louder. My only regret is "DECEL POP", which I am going back to the idiot HD dealer this Saturday so they can have a third crack at dyno tuning it out...

I would talk to Jamie at Fuelmoto for advise as he has steered me right, and if you have patience to wait for the PC V to come out.

I think I will leave this one alone. From what I have read there really isn't much inprovement in power with a stage 1. Thank you
