Ok..

I'm having my'06 Sporty 1200R repaired at the dealership after a nasty encounter with a deer. New Vance and Hines slip ons are happening as also a carb rejet and and stage one upgrade..

What else do I need to do to make her sing?

My harley has no speedometer. Its a 1984 custom sportster with a wideglide front end. I have looked through my books and can not figure out if the speedometer attach's to the front end or if it goes to the transmission. Im new to the biker world as you can probably tell, but i assume it probably attach's to front end (off the front fork). what could i look for to be able to know for sure. I have no idea what year the front end of this bike is. Thanks for any help.

Performance Gurus,
2005 Ultra 1450 with:
SE Air Filter, SERT, 64903-99 discontinued SE One Piece Slipons.
It has been dynoed with the SERT but I want to try the Rush 2" slipons.
Will I need to remap and dyno again?
Anybody have a SERT map for this combo?

I need some advice regarding my air cleaner assembly for a Stage 1 upgrade. I have received some differing opinions, and I really have no idea who to trust... hence I need some advice here.

I have a 2006 HD Sportster XL1200L. I have already changed out the pipes, replacing them with Vance & Hines slip-ons. I am now planning on rejetting the carb and changing the air cleaner/filter to finish the Stage 1.

Here is my problem. I have been told by some that putting a K&N filter on my bike, using the stock air cleaner kit, is really all I need. However, the Harley reps tell me that I need a whole new Screamin Eagle Air Cleaner kit, which will provide a new backing plate... they say that the stock air cleaner kit will not allow enough air through and that installing the K&N filter...
