Would someone please explain what is done to your bike for a stage 1, and is it worth it.

On my 16 Tri Glide i gutted the head pipe then installed a Stage 1 Screaming Eagle air cleaner,with Street Cannon mufflers along with a Power Vision download.It help with the performance but the biggest improvement was less heat on my wife and my self.
if possible could you send me a copy of the tune you are using and the results. It would sure help me to figure out this “tuner”

Stock M8 engines IMO do not need a tuner unless you really want to dial in your tune and void your factory warranty ( unless you use the Screaming Eagle Tuner with purchase of cables from Harley)
The M8 does NOT run lean like the Twin Cams did
AS far as raising the Rev limiter, IMO leave it alone unless you are planning on redlining gears and racing
The Power Vision tuner is IMO about as good as it gets and very user friendly
If you have the Power Vision, you can go to dynojet.com, download your tune based on your configuration. Then do the autotune to modify the tune based on your specific trike and your driving style. There are great Videos to teach you how to load tunes and auto tune on the Dynojet website.
If you don't have a Power Vision if will do you no good to get a copy of his tune.
I had the stage 1 on my 11 Tri-Glide 103 engine it consists of the air cleaner exhaust system re-calibrate EMC and raise’s the redline up to 6300 rpm’s worth every penny as far as I was concerned
I DO have the Power Vision, but there is no tune on their site for Decat stock headpipes, Street Cannons, And Screaming Eagle air cleaner. I have tried several other combination tunes with little to no success. That’s why I asked which “base tune” he was using and what is nibs results. I know 40+mpg is a pipe dream for the trike, but I should be able to get 35/36! 31-32 is rediculous.
Just to add to this and as i jogged my memory a little..... After i added all that stuff, I got a little aggressive and added rush 1.75 slip-ons....And that was a mistake i lost a lot of bottom end torque/power....But gained more top end than than i needed...
My pipes were too free flowing [Not enough back-pressure] So ratter then playing around with new slip-ons i put on a set of DK Customs Thunder Torques.....15 Minute job...
And got the bottom end back in spades and the trike ran great for 40 thousand miles after that....ThumbUp....
Bob forget the term back pressure
Think reversion and heat retention instead

Not even close

So Kevin, if I am understanding you correctly, I could put on some different slip on mufflers and my 19 would probably still run exactly like it does now? Or I could put on slip on mufflers plus change my air breather and it would still run great?
I know on my 16 TG after adding slip on mufflers it didn't run as good as original.
