As a recent HD convert I'm thinking about some mods to my sporty and have been reading up on stage 1 upgrade on this site. Seems that this upgrade is something that just about everybody does, so it's reasonable to assume that it is a pretty important improvement - right?
Questions: If stage 1 is about improving efficiency and performance through improved air & fuel management, why is this not something that's done by HD in production? I mean, should the bike not be set up for maximum efficiency in the factory? Am I missing something here or is it just some kinda cynical after sales ploy by the manafacturer to wring some more cash out of us?
Sorry if this query seems niaive but I'm trying to learn....
