Hi all - new to the forum.
I read a great post the other day by Richy1bravo on April 13, and it helped solidify the changes I want to make to my 2007 XL883 (I can't link this post b/c I am new to the forum).
I plan to do pretty much the same series of mods, but i'm hoping those in the forum can answer a few questions i have:
1 - Intake - I am planning the SE Stage 1 kit upgrade. my questions are:
should i swap out the kit supplied filter with the K&N SE replacement filter? Will I obtain any more performance? and will i still be able to use my stock cover (i like the chrome cover i've got).
Also, I read where one can simply construct the SE intake from individual HD parts. is this worth the hassle?
lastly, is the "heavy breather" SE assembly something I should consider?
2 - EFI upgrades: The Dobeck TFI seems like the way to go based on posts I've read here. I like that no re-mapping is necessary, so if i want to remove, I don't have to worry about reprogramming back to stock. Seems to give more tuning options as well. Are there any gotchas?
3 - Exhaust - I am close to deciding in the Cycle Shack slip ons, model MXL-330, which I undertsand are niceand loud, but not as loud as the MXL-130's. Input welcome here on user experiences with either/both/or other recommended slip ons.
I'm a newer rider, but am ready for more power on my bike. But so much ready to move up to a big twin. Besides, I have gotten attached to my Sporty, and love the way it handles.
Thanks in advance for any input, guidance, or just shout-outs.
Cheers
:cheers
