looks like a great combination of torque and horsepower nice bike matt.
On my Indian chieftain I've done 125 Easly on the interstate and handles like a dream stock and had throttle left I own a Harley Davidson slim s right nowwas so 110 screaming eagle with a 585 cam in freedom exhaust screaming eagle breather and it's a torque monster but again Indian did it stockmy next bike will be in Indian Springs
hey nice video man what is the labor cost to have this put on the street glide
when it comes to the MOST THOROUGH review of a h-d your hands down the best ive seen. thank u for all the attention u give. your takin em to school in this game!
YOU CAN GET AN S&S 124 for what it would cost to do all this
I've had three harleys.My last one was a 2014 Road Glide.Rode it home(about 500 miles)…sold it the next day.Their claim was…'gobs of torque for those 'higher speed passes' and such.For one,it apparently had some sort of limiter.And also,dangerously,trying to downshift to pass and get that 'increased torque' going,it would limit.Just when I needed it to push.Naturally,shifting back up wide open to TRY and get it to get around a vehicle,it no longer had the torque to really pull.Dangerous.I almost got hit head-on …and this was starting at 70 mph downshift and pass(shifting up halfway through).It also had the famous Harley wobble at about 105 mph…i got it to 110 mph max…that's all she had.Very disappointed.
You mention 'beast' and 'going fast'.
I ride a zx14R(2013) and an H2(2015).THESE are beasts.These are fast.No worries about..'will I run out of pull'.Those Harleys are quite pretty though.I hope this new motor REALLY comes through as it should…very nice.That kit sounds very nice as well….;)
I was watching your video there..yep,you should've taken er all the way up.That's what I'd like to see..the top end and performance PLUS the torque of higher speed downshifts and upshifts.
Great video. Keep posting please.
Awesome Matt. Cool video and answers a couple of questions I had about the Stage 4 for the M8. Having the upgrade installed inside of 60 days and getting the warranty makes this attractive proposition for sure.
Nice Videos all the time!
Best wishes from Germany.
My bike is the Lowrider S 2016.
I told you zealistic how fun my 114 is! Nice and shiny black with chrome like a harley should be! You know who lol
Hey Matt..how come you don't upgrade from your 103? How could you go back after riding that mofo? mofo
How does the fuel consumption change with this kit? I am doing the same kit for my 103.
Shit Brud..That blackout out rig is so so nice..
What's your thoughts on an 2015 bike with the street tuner vrs. V&h FP3
I love the layout of the big twin Harley's(i.e. seperated engine / transmission). I however can't seem to understand what dealers talk about when they say the big twins have "way more power making potential" (the transmissions are definitely way nicer than the sportster setup). The big twin bikes definitely ride more comfortable I have seen people making ridiculously good numbers with 1200/1250 setup sportsters (well over 100hp – some over 120hp). A bike that weighs (in a worst case scenario) 100 lbs less or so than a dyna and makes as much power tuned (most of the twin cams i have seen dyno'd struggled to break over 105hp or so – even after 110+ci upgrades). I am on the fence of upgrading my iron further or just trading in on a new Dyna. I love the more refined feel of the Dyna, but it definetely does not feel faster to me (more TQ for sure – but thats dampened by the fact that the Dyna is a heavier bike). What are your thoughts/recommendations ? I guess I am just looking for that final nail to seal the deal on me buying a new Dyna but I can't rationalize me taking on another loan (especially when my bike is paid off).
sad
I'm scared of this….I bought the HD 120ST and had HD install it in my 2010 Limited. I backed it up with new everything in the drive line except the transmission. New primary chain and bearing, new clutch, belt, pullys, etc.,etc. The bike had 87 Thousand plus miles on it., but now it was like new. The warranty was parts only for 12 months. Fourteen months after installation, a lifter failed and trashed everything in the engine except the heads. HD said …Sorry man, 12 months, that's it. Just sayin….
Love how your breaking all of the laws by riding down sidewalks, cutting through parking lots, and weaving through traffic at lights, which your giving good motorcyclist a bad rap!!!!
The exhaust not alone is worth the price of admission. Any idea how the MPG is affected by the kit?
does it run too hot?
Dang that's almost as much Horsepower as my ford ranger Truck!
I love Harley. I'm on my 2nd Vrod now (2016 Muscle). With that being said, good God…the prices. Pay ~$25k for a new SG, then add another ~$5k for the Stage 3 kit (including labor) to obtain ~110rwhp. I just installed a Stage 1 on my Vrod a few weeks back. It took me about 1.5 hours. The bike put down 119rwhp. Between the bike and the parts, I'm at $18k. Anyways, those are some sweet bikes!
Sounds Beautiful…I want one….
Nice review. As for the street riding it's impossible to tell anything. I'm sure you could feel it though.
Thank you for the information. Great video.
Matt, you forgot to mention that the stage 4 kit or any kit requires a fuel map from HD designed for the increased displacement.
If I could have several bikes, I would definitely have one of these (however, the Motus would come first) But, "perfect ergonomics?" That's pretty dang funny!!!
Harley Davidson sucks. I'll just kept my kawasaki ninja h2 it goes 249 mph. and looks good to.
Its not about fast – Its about how quick is it to get to fast.
Great review as always Matt, you are right on point with everything that you touched on, I have 2015 street glide special and its been an awesome bike.
I guess that dual camshaft idea was a design flaw. too many parts. single camshaft is perfectly fine
8 gold wing riders watched this video..
Just wondering Matt is this kit with the heads, cam, and throttle body the same engine that's in the CVO 114..?
Oh I should known California is a liberal state! Don't come Florida might end with some hefty fines and losing your bike in the process.
Keep the great videos coming!
Thanks Matt!
I am a Harley guy through and through but …… back in 2004 Kawasaki came out with a 2053cc Vulcan – 125 cu.in. 116 Hp, 141 ft lbs of torque. This bike seemed a bit larger than a Harley and really stretched your arms leaving you with a grin from ear to ear. I saw one last summer for sale at $6500 CDN. It would never replace my Harley but it is a blast to ride – If you have the nerve:)
and their still using the nylon cam chain tentioners !
still have the tc88 5speed. everytime I get on the interstate I look for a 6th gear. just can't afford another harley or a trans upgrade.
I had no indication of the power during the test run
Just bought a 2017 Ultra Limited yesterday at Deluxe HD in Gillette Wy. Ordered the stage 4 kit, D & D Cat pipe. HD heavy breather. Should be riding it next week and will post a video. I also have a 2015 CVO streetglide with the 117 upgrade awesome power.
If I were younger, bigger and stronger I would love to try this. Anything over 500lbs is way too heavy for me. Harley has bettered their game.
Matt, great video! I have the 2014 CVO limited with the 110 upgraded to the 117 kit. How do you compare this engine to the milwaukee 8 stage 4 kit in this video?
thinking of doing these stage 4 upgrade on my 217 Street Glide and put in 14 inch handlebars what do you think of the hand of us stay with stocks appreciate your comment Matt thank you
After watching this video, I think my mind is finally made up as to what Harley model is right for me..the stage 4 included!
Funny how this video made me see the light, when all the trips to my local dealer still left me in the dark! Thanks so much Matt… ride safe brother.
Ok Matt, the stage 4 is nice, but why can't one order the upgrade straight from the factory. As it is now one has to pay for the original parts, which go into the dust bin, then pay the labor to have them removed, purchase the new kit, again pay the labor to have them installed. and dyno-tune the bike.
The bike has to be field stripped, and rebuilt by local technicians with various backgrounds and experience levels so that quality assurance may suffer.
The labor at the factory to install the upgraded parts should be about the same as the standard issue. Not having to pay for the additional labor and original parts should save a chunk of change. This should also decrease their exposure to warranty issues.
Frankly, an engine of this size should come stock from the factory with the power and torque of the stage 4, so why detune the bike? One can order an automobile with the desired engine option.
Harley needs to wake up on this issue as it has been a thorn in riders sides for many years.
