Smitty, can you explain further what you mean by shortcuts? I was leaning towards the TFI, possibly a Vance & Hines slip on and the HD Screaming Eagle stage 1 air cleaner kit.
bubbie here, smitty grn. light is off for tonight
I think the combination you just mentioned is Great!
A lot of my friends and members here have had the Best results when doing a good quality air, good flowing exhaust along with the TFI.
There are other fuelers out there but for easy install and a screwdriver adjustment,plus the $, you can't beat this one.
I get good responses from the Many riders who have taken some of this advice on doing a full stage one with using the TFI.
I describe it as Power you feel in the seat of your pants.
I just had a sheriff friend in Az. install one on his bike. full stage 1 with TFI on his 08 street glide...
When he asked me what he should expect , I could tell he didn't quite believe me..
I said you will notice especially in 4-5-6 like some one turned on a mini after burner.
He called me back and said I couldn't believe I was right.. Also his wife noticed a lot Less Heat coming off the bike(not running Lean).. Arizona 85/95* right now...
I think you can find many different exhaust and a few airs to do a good job but the main thing i have found from the Many users, is the TFI.
so You were right on with your set-up. IMHO
no I don't get any Kick-backs from TFI but as many as i have told and they have Sold???
I like the fact I have never had anyone say it doesn't work for a full stage one, nor disagree with the "seat of the pants" power.
Is stage one worth the $$, I would say so a BIG boost in the performance + other benefits.. what a improvement!
