Stage 1 makes minimal difference in torque/power TBH, probably just cleans up the fuelling a tad.

Check out the M8 info here........ https://www.maidstoneharleydavidson.co.uk/pages/customisation/performance-stage-upgrades.htm

I see Sykes have a nice looking low mileage SG at present, but I think theirs is bog standard.

One quick question.

What do you use for trickle charging.

Do you go for the Harley version or just connect up an Optimate or Datatool type lead with a connector to the battery?

I did ask them to fit a lead before I picked her up.

I guess they err forgot.....

Lovely ride today

Simple enough to fit, despite HD's best efforts at burying the battery under the rear shock. You may have seen this already ......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJEvzEMAl_0
