2024 CVO Stock vs. Exhaust Upgrade

A 2024 CVO Road Glide ST has rolled into the shop! Let's explore what it does STOCK and what kind of power it makes with an exhaust changed out.
JD's Cycle Works is located at 6146 Sullivan Trail, Nazareth PA, 18064

I'm happy to see you producing your own videos.

[@DeterminedVeteran]

Harley hit a home run on that design

[@robertfagan8833]

Great video Dave. I think you are one of the first UA-cam channels to do a Dyno run on a new CVOST and exhaust Dyno run upgrade great information Dave . Absolutely love that bike. Specially, in that color. Thanks for sharing.

[@JDsCycleWorks]

You’re welcome! My pleasure

[@2wheelspounding]

@@JDsCycleWorkswhen you installed this what stage did you do? I’m putting 2-1 on my 24 cvo st and I Hurd you do stage 1 then I also Hurd stage 2 because it has the 511 cam in it?

[@ramongalarza3503]

Great job Dave

[@ericroadking7564]

Wow awesome video Dave very cool!!!

[@davebusch4397]

Another great Video Dave!!!!

[@JDsCycleWorks]

Thanks for watching Dave!

[@randycoons1808]

Very cool Dave

[@tomcurtin3736]

Very nice gain in power under the curve

[@keithgrills5330]

I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've watched every cam video you posted over the past weeks and I feel that this video is valuable because it shows how everyone's impressed with the power of the new 121. Now you can see what a stage 2 will do on your 114. Without having to upgrade your bike to a new one, you can get the same power. Obviously, people would argue what you can do with a stage 2 on this bike, but the point is you could do a stage 2 on a 114. Save yourself the 20 Some thousnd dollars in difference of upgrading to a new CVO and still have similar power. I think that's invaluable as I just bought a 23 with the 107. This will be the way I go, a stage 2 cycle Rama cam. I hope that makes sense to thise reading this. Thanks again for the knowledge and perspective this video sheds on power vs displacement.

[@JDsCycleWorks]

Thank you very much.

[@lars-erikullsgard3320]

You are offcourse 100% right. My 114 stage 2 makes 120 whp

[@thomasnash2903]

I can’t wait to see how this motor responds to a cam and aftermarket tune !

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

It’s gonna be good
On par with most aftermarket 128s I’d suspect

[@302roadking]

Beautiful!!

[@Avankaurparmar]

Great video, Dave!! Can u please do more videos on the cvo st with tuner different exhausts possibly a d&d 2-1 and the kromewerks 2-1 and cam tuner ect.. once it's available?? Also for now do different exhausts in a 2-1 with the screaming eagle tuner?? Please zoom in to the numbers also so we can clearly see the results. Some of your vids have been a bit blurry. Keep up the good work Dave!!!

[@JDsCycleWorks]

Thank you for your feedback. We will be working on the clarity of the numbers.

[@carlbruhn1772]

By comparison Master Tech Miller did a pull removing the air cleaner only and gained 11hp . Thanks for your hard work, always interesting

[@JDsCycleWorks]

Thanks for watching!

[@timmcpeck7527]

Very nice numbers for basically only a stage 1 upgrade. I can’t imagine the numbers these things will put out once you start putting a cam and aftermarket tune on them.

[@JDsCycleWorks]

When that day comes, we will see big increases in power. For right now, this is what we have to work with and I’m happy to show you my findings on it

[@blakeb550]

Nice work Dave!! Just wondering do they have any cam upgrade yet?

[@cnice187]

Nice!!!

[@Holdon33]

Hi Dave great video, I have a cvo/st as well and I have a thunderheader to put on it. My questions is do I have to get the screamin eagle tuner to download for it to be safe and also, is there a file on the tuner before i purchase it for a 2 into 1 header. Please advise if you can
Thank you
Mike

[@nickricholetti754]

Can’t believe you didn’t go 2 into 1

[@brucem8129]

What was the stock AFR at your pulls? Thanks for sharing.

[@RDKWayMike]

What seat is that and did you have to relocate the shock reservoirs

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

On cruising those AFR all over the place

[@leemitchell7879]

Hey dave. Is that a decatted system. ??? Thanks

[@JohnLayton-ft3wh]

Can you tell me where you got that seat? I cant seem to find one

[@davidcolby6661]

Are you gonna test a 2-1 system on it?

[@thomasjefferson3968]

Did that seat fit on without modifications?

[@vincentmurante5142]

Was that in normal mode or track mode?

[@wc553]

Good Video Dave, What mode did you run the CVO ? Sport?

[@JDsCycleWorks]

Curiosity

[@mrchopboogie]

That’s what was going to ask. Do the ride modes affect the numbers or just how long it take to get the same numbers.

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

What cam comes in these motors ?

[@maartenkok345]

Screaming Eagle 511 cam I believe

[@bruceh6054]

I bet that's Cycle Fanatics bike isn't it ;)

[@augustinasvilkas]

I think he's working with Get Lowered now. But it might be, I definitely think cycle fanatix is gonna get a cvo st

[@JDsCycleWorks]

I’m sorry, but it is not John’s bike

[@troyclacherty1175]

Change the air cleaner.You will see the hp and tq go up.

[@roadglide1142]

It was cheaper to have Laconia HD swap in a 135” SE Crate engine and get 138hp/160 TQ on my 2022 RGL that’s compliant than to spend the money on that new bike ! 😂

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Thats the system I'd choose if I had an M8 harley road king.

[@FEEDER.396]

Just left the Harley Davidson dealership and they wanted 8,500 mark up 😂 just under 60k for the bike

[@dawnmathis2659]

Find a different dealer.

[@mojo4376]

Which dealer. Call them out.

[@FEEDER.396]

Glendale Harley Davidson
Location-based Glendale California

[@teamboost7922]

Bought one today for sticker no up charges or nonsense

[@russellabernathy3241]

Bought mine for retail no mark ups

[@DennisMerwood-xk8wp]

The most useless thing in the World: A stock HD exhaust system!

[@Silvermototsurfer]

Right! Literally the most useless job at the motor co.
