Looking for some info

tattooedjesusfreak

My new tank and fenders are on there way and when i got it tore down doing the change i plane on cahnging all my oils and tweaking the carb . but i have a question , i want to know what makes a SE stage 1 or 2 ? is it just the filter ? or is it the air cleaner box as well , i was looking at diff cleaners and there are so many out there , i want to get away from the the stock can and i was looking at a Forcewinder or a big sucker . I like the look of the forcewinder but not sure about the performance of it . i have SE ll slipons on the bike and thats all the x-tras it has . ill have to tweak the carb when i go with a new air setup . just dont know if i should go with the Forcewinder or go with the Big Sucker stage 1 or stage 2 . im taking the info and running spectro in the trany . may add it to all 3, but it will go in the trany i know ..... thanks for the help

ok 1st - sportster only has 2 holes not 3
you need Spectro heavy duty sportster primary and transmission oil as the sporty unlike the big twins runs the same oil in the trans as well as the primary and then runs a seperate oil for the motor.
ENGINE
You will need to up the jets in the carb mostly by adding a 45/46 pilot jet. Do not waste your money on an over the shelf kit which cost $100's when you need to spend $30 on jets from Harley.
for slip ons
45 or 46 pilot jet
depending on the size of main jet lets say 180 you will need a 185 or a 190, buy both ride it with the 185 if it feels lean stick the 190 in.
total cost $20/$30 - Dyno jet kit $130
simple choice really
once fitted do the idle drop setting on the bike as described in the self help tips.
As for the filter the Force winder and Big sucker 1or2 will do wonders for the perfomance on the bike - force winder is more hot rod were as the big sucker is more classic.
both will work better than stock, do not discount the SE filter kits they work but you will still have the stock cover.

Maybe this will explain it a bit further.It's usually the filter and the box that makes it free flowing.
