Re: My winter upgrades, what's your's?
I believe in the KISS method.
![]() Keep It Simple Stupid So often I see people adding the SERT and PC III amongst other units and end up with problems of pinging and many other problems with the engine. Different situations arise where it won't idle right or stalls sporadically and believe that the least you do to these bikes, the better off you are as far as engine mods. The factory mapping leaves something to be desired but as far as running decently, just adding a bit of fuel with a TFI will result in a good running bike and less cost than other units not to mention the abuse the bike gets on the dyno and not even taking into consideration the tuner himself as far as qualifications and expertise on dyno tuning. Everyone has a different view on what they think the bike should perform right but I added the TFI to my 07 RK and was very happy with the results for a street ridden bike. It performed well and I had no problems with it. If you are looking to extract the last ounce of power out of the engine then the SERT would be the way to go. JMHO

Going Stage 1 with the TFI. The only problem will be, I can't ride it in the snow. I'm not to sure I want to try changing until I can get it out and ride it.

If you are going with the 103" upgrade spring for the SE wheels (they made 96" out of an 88") by adding the 103" sized wheels but problems have arisen, the SE wheels will serve you better...uh...Flywheels

Re: My winter upgrades, what's your's?
If HD (Milwaukee) ever sends my gas tank, I'm replacing my little peanut tank with a 4.5 gal custom tank,also changing the seat,pegs,grips and adding forward controls. The tank was ordered 9/13with a 4-5 week lead time.I dropped my XL883L off at the dealers 10/22 before I went on vacation so the work could be done while I was away. AS of today the tank still hasn't left the "paint shop" in Milwaukee. I told my mechanic to be sure to put Stabile in the tank and put the battery on a tender and I'll see him in the spring. LOL

Re: My winter upgrades, what's your's?
I'd like to get a side car for the 07 rk classic to take my grand son with us, he's two and already a motor head! But I'm discouraged by the thought of having to pay a thousand bucks more than a new 883 for one wheel and a fiberglass bath tub. I haven't had any luck find a used one, so I was thinking maybe your done with yours scrinch?
