Let’s face it in most cases horsepower does not come cheap. When you buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle you are really buying the "starter kit.” It’s very rare that we work on a motorcycle that is completely stock. Customers always ask "how can I increase the performance of my motorcycle?” Well let’s get started with the simplest of plans.
Step 1: A proven way to extract a few extra horsepower from your motorcycle is by installing a set of NGK Iridium sparkplugs. Dyno testing shows a gain of 2 to even 5 additional horsepower from the installation of these plugs as compared to stock. These sparkplugs are standard equipment in our stage-one kits as we install them in every Harley we tune. We stock these plugs for every application, set the gap and ship them to your door. Buy NGK Spark Plugs.
Step 2: Another way to both increase your motorcycle’s horsepower as well extending its lifespan is to install quality lubricants. We use K&N oil filters in every full service oil change we perform. K&N oil filters combined with Amsoil or Mobil1 synthetic oils will increase horsepower. On average 2 or more horsepower can be extracted from the use of these products. Our dyno testing proves this over and over. Another HUGE benefit is heat reduction. Quality synthetic oils cool air cooled motors. Don’t believe it, you will after you try it. The oils we sell are the same we use in our demo bikes. Customers ride them and ask why the transmission is so smooth, so quiet? Our Box of Lube contains everything you will need to perform a complete service to your bike. Order online or give us a call we will assemble your box with exactly the right products.

Step 3: An inexpensive way to increase the power of your motorcycle is to install an OEM style replacement K&N air filter. Over a period of time this filter pays for itself. You will never have to purchase another air filter again. We also stock the re-charger kit from K&N. This kit is necessary to maintain the performance of your K&N filter. Simply wash it and re-oil it at each service. Each filter comes with a million mile warranty. Expect 2 to 3 horsepower from this filter. Dyno tested and proven effective for superior air flow and filtration. Order a filter with your Box of Lube complete service kit plus K&N air filter. Don’t forget the re-charger!
Step 4: Now it’s time to get serious. Let’s start with a performance exhaust system. Almost every Harley owner will take this road. Many make the mistake of listening to a parts department employee and purchase an exhaust that only makes noise. At Cycle Solutions, we literally see and dyno test every parts combination possible. Many of these do not work well together. We know what does! The Cycle Solutions Inc. Stage 1. Our Stage 1 performance package consists of a performance exhaust system manufactured by BUB, Rinehart, Vance and Hines or Klockwerks. We dyno test and hand choose systems that are a cut above the all others. NGK Iridium plugs are gapped and included in this kit. High performance exhaust gaskets and new exhaust flanges are standard equipment. Our kits include a performance breather system made by K&N or JetScream. Next we include an appropriate Dynojet Thunderslide jet kit or a Dynojet Power Commander for those with fuel injection. For those who want a tuning tool that self tunes, our choice is The Thundermax by Zippers. Whether carbureted or injected we will advise a customer the exact jetting
