I guess I am a minority of one in the biker world of millions, but I do not get it.  I use the upper 25% of my power range maybe less than one-half of a percent of the time - almost never.  ...

I like to twist the wick but have no idea when I could recoup my investment in a Stage 3 package. We do mostly back roads and twisties and the stock 111 has plenty of power for my needs. If I spent more time on the slab it might make a little more sense.

    I too mostly Ride the hills and twisties and running from 60 to 75 mph majority of the time. 

    The Stage Two Performance Cams, Catless Jackpot and TAB Slip-ons setup with a PVCX tune from FuelMoto is all I need for my 2015 Chieftain at this time.

    Even if I wanted to consider this, it is not compatible with my 2014 Thunderstroke. And I have no plans of buying another bike, as mine is the best bike of all.....IT IS PAID FOR!!  :)

    I am sure the sound and performance is something most of us would like. But, it's the age old...cost vs. benefit decision.

    My set-up is like yours except for the cams. I’d like to do the 585 Lloydz cam & buy that TB & intake manifold off of the Big Bore kit. Otherwise I’m pretty happy with the 111. Unless someone pulls up next to me at a light with a 116 just like the video clip. Lol.

    With a 20% hp gain and 15% torque gain, it would basically be what I got on my stage 2 Indian setup.

     8) I did the Stage 1, Cams, and Reinhardt exhaust.  ;D I have no need for the 113.  ::) However, I am certainly not opposed to this upgraded performance. :)
    Peace and All Good!

    If I’m not mistaken it’s s power gain over & about the stg. 2 set up.

     "it’s that I’m retired now and don’t have near the income I used to. But I also sleep ‘til 11 everyday and don’t do anything I don’t want to do... except eat vegetables"

    When you retire, you don't have to eat veggies?  Brilliant! 8)

    I rode the 116 on the Demo truck in December.  I was really impressed with the 20% increase in torque.  Not just advertising hype.  I was not real comfortable with the application of power as the throttle response was not smooth.  Last week I was at the dealer getting service and they offered me the opportunity to take the 116 out.  I took it for a 100-mile ride through a lot of twisties and was able to check the high end.  The throttle issue has been resolved and the bike is awesome!  It is really happy running between 3000 and 4000 rpm and pulls smoothly in the corners.  The high end has not changed (90+).  It seems like they should change the sprocket and make the gears taller.
      It was a hard bike to get off of.

    Veggies also make your bike faster. Rider eats veggies, rider loses weight, bike goes faster.  ;D

    I'd like to see the dyno numbers that prove it. Seem like you also have to buy stage air cleaner kit.
