I won my 2008 FLHTCU in a raffle last year. I was told that it had a Stage II Tuner kit installed on it among other mods. Is there a way to identify that this mod has actually been done without tearing apart the motor? Other than the Rinehart Pipes and a Screamin Eagle Race Tuner CD and programmer I can't tell that anything has been changed. Are there any external marks that I could use to verify the mods?

Thanks!

No external way to tell. You should, however, be able to see that the black backing plate of the air cleaner should be off and it will be open as it should have the SE round air cleaner. You can take the SERT and plug it into a computer and hook it up to the bike and see what the ECM has for a map (should coincide with your setup). Did you win it from a dealer, or did an organization buy it from a dealer set up that way for the raffle purpose? If so, PM me your VIN# and I can run it and the SWR warranty information should list all the parts covered under the warranty and that will show the components.

 

Hmmm... It still has an oval air cleaner that says 96 cubic inches on it, which is what kinda started the suspicions after looking at the kits online. I will borrow a laptop to plug into, mine is vista and the disc says only XP, win2k, etc.

I won it at a company's 50th anniversary party. They said the dealership they bought it from did all the mods. I'll PM you the VIN.

Thanks Dawg!

ETA: I just checked, the stock air cleaner backing plate is gone and is an open element other than the oval cover.

 

You can look at the push rod tunes under/behind the air cleaner. If they used an adjustable push rod kit, the tubes will slpit at differn't heights than the stock ones. Run to the dealer and measure the length of the tube from the bottom to the part that the tube splits, (the little cap deal). The S.E. air cleaner kit retains the stock "football" style cover, if it has a stage one filter, there will not be a black plastic cover behind the chrome football. Trust me, you'll know if it's there. If you can feel in behind the chrome cover you have the stage one filter. The black plastic cover is pretty restrictive and only lets air in through a coupl've holes in the front side of it.

 

Contact the dealer who set up/sold the bike for the raffle.

 

And I got my 07 Street Glide after they swept the showroom floor one weekend, had to clean the dust of it though.. I smell a Troll..

 

LOL! I know it's a crazy story, but it's true. http://www.rentalpulse.com/article.asp?ARTID=5463

Did you get my PM? You need to have the fuel filter shell recall taken care of.

 

Got it! I will heading to the dealer Saturday to schedule the repair. I'll check out the pushrods measurements too.

Thanks everyone.

 

Only way to really tell is to pull up at a traffic light next to the same make and year bike that is stock and let it rip. If you don't pull away pretty easy you have no stage II.
