Not if he uses SE Stage 1 AF, SE pipes and SE tuner as he said he was. They are all Harley parts and will not void the warranty esp if he also has his dealer install them. I specifically ask my dealer and the MoCo also this on this past Friday as I am thinking about doing the SE Tuner.

For my 08 I got Monster Ovals (love the sound) and the SE Stage 1 air cleaner and the stage 1 download. Dealer said that was all I needed. I notice some poping when I decelerate, but no pinging.
I got a fuelpak, and put in the settings, but found it runs the bike too lean. I have asked Vance and hines what is going on this weekend, hope to get an answer on Monday.
I am very happy with the Monster ovals they look and sound great. Oh and I started riding again just about 4 years ago and I am 50 now.... So not too different than you.
If you want a quiet ride, stick with everything as is. If you want it to sound more like a harley should get the monster ovals and stage 1. My 2 cents.

I did the Stage 1 with SEST, SE A/C, and SE Touring Slip-ons when I purchased my '09 Ultra. If you have the selling dealer install within 60 days of purchase and they are all HD parts, they will be covered under the original 24 month warranty. I had V&H Ovals on my '08 Ultra and thought they were too loud. The SE Touring Slip-ons are just a little louder than stock but give you the improved breathing that the V&H provide. The Stage 1 upgrade definitely brings the engine to life.

Are people satisfied with their 09's stock? Pros and cons (besides $$$) going for stage 1? If I do this I want to do it now before I put more miles on. Also suggestions for mufflers that will add performance and stay on the quieter side would be appreciated.
