You will love the bump the Stage II does for power.

I would suggest you don't go with a 21" front wheel if you enjoy riding the twisties.
The 21" is fine (I have it) but the stock setup (18" front) handles much better.

These are way lower running rpm motors than you are use to. General riding the 3,000 rpm is kinda ideal. and you cruise at 2,500 to 3,000 range.

The power band on the Stage II starts to kick in at around 3,000 - maxes out power at 5,000 to 5,500

Enjoy and welcome to the bike that has SOUL.

Welcome fron N. GA. This is just the beginning, my friend...it only gets better (and more expensive) from here on out! When you aint riding, you'll be either looking at it, polishing it, thinking of what you want to add next, or.....surfing hdforums!

Talking

what is so neat about the bikes we own , is the designs are flowing, classic, and timeless All-american.
No matter how long we own them, the beauty is there. All we need to improve on is the little things when needed.
