If you are going to leave the airbox stock you don't have to or want to do any jetting for stage 3 or an aftermarket set of pipes. Just put the pipes on and ride. Seats are a personal choice. Lots of people like the Mustang or the Ultimate but that doesn't mean you will like either of them. Best bet is to hit a bike night or a dealer get together and try and set on bikes with different seats.

thanks ,forgot to mention do have a k&n filter to put on that I got with the other stuff i bought.Is the 1600 carb same as 1700 ? my seats okay for short hops but not long hauls.

If the filter is the open K&N then you will need to jet. If it's the K&N that fits in the stock airbox you don't. The carb will fit.
