I agree with everything you said! Great info for people undecided…I have 2018 107 with stage 2 and ported and polished heads, full Rc Excalibur exhaust, Andrews 460 tour cam and also tuned…The bike rips pretty hard! More than enough power for me! 23:08
BIG JOHN Long time subscriber!! This was one of your best video you done. Very honest opinion. I think it removed a lot of doubt for all that are thinking upgrades. After not riding for over 30 years I bought my first Harley a 2017 Road Glide Ultra. Within three months I had Laconia HD do the stage 1 because stock wise the bike didn't have the rumble sound I had envision. stock sounded too quiet. Today I turned 34,000 miles and had no problems.
Enjoy all your videos, thanks for making them. My 2 cents, starting with a new Harley Bagger (Street Glide, Road Glide, etc.): #1. Heat management, maintaining "normal" and consistent Oil Temperature; add a ThunderMax Fan to the OE Oil Cooler and have HD Dealer enable it/program the ECM to let [ECM] know there is now a fan on the oil cooler; -or- add the HD combo Oil Cooler/Fan. Can also add the HD rear cylinder cooling fan. # 2. Suspension, replace the stock suspension (front & rear). I prefer Legends...REVO-A in the rear and the correct kit for the front. My 2020 SGS had 12" rear shocks (stock); I went with the 13" Legends. #3. Performance upgrades (and consider if wanting to retain HD warranty or not). Can spread these out (costs, etc.) and if so desired, and add to the level (Stage) that's right for the type of riding and power levels one is seeking. Generally speaking, most folks are very satisfied with doing Stage-1 [Intake Air Cleaner, Exhaust (slip-on mufflers or a complete full system) and matching Tune for the EFI w/Stage-1. Stage-1 will typically boost power around 10% (or a bit more) above stock. Stage-2, utilizing a "bolt-in" Cam. Lots of choices here. There are plenty of "bolt-in" Cams (including OE Stage-2 Cams) that will produce gains anywhere in the 100hp-120+hp / 115-130+ torque), dependent on the combination of parts (intake, exhaust, Cam, etc.) and the Tune. A favorite of mine (2020 SGS 114) is the Stage-3 (114-to-117, or 114-122 cu.in.) with the HD Screaming Eagle Stage-2 Torque Cam; keeps my warranty intact. Also, the OE Stage-4 114-to-117 is pretty good, but I would change the Cam (Stage-4 Cam is basically mid-range to top-end; I prefer a Torque Cam with strong bottonend to mid-range Torque, because that's my riding style, 2-up on a bagger). Of course if money is no object...then I would do a 114-128 S&S kit or a S&S 114-to-131 Stroker Kit with custom heads, etc. Easy to achieve 155-160+hp with same or more Torque. But, at that power levels, more cost involved for reliability...clutch upgrades, compensator upgrades, etc., etc..
I agree 100 percent with everything you said great info and I wouldn’t do anything over a stage 2 on a new Harley-Davidson it’s all you need on the street
I usually don't like chrome but that black chrome is sick! I keep toying with going to stage 3, I think I'm going for it come winter, I'm sitting at a stage 2 currently
Great channel, I know this is an old video but I just recently subscribed. Watched your iron butt solo ride. Great Job. Just want to put my 2 cents in. I currently ride a 2019 Ultra Limited. As soon as my warranty expired I just wanted better sound and more power. So decided to do a aftermarket stage 2. Full cobra exhaust woods 22xe cam arleness heavy breather and full tune. Had high compresssion heads installed also. Went from 76hp 109tq to 116hp 135tq. Sounds amazing and pulls like a monster. Super happy with the upgrade!
Just what I needed. I was going to ask you for some sort of breakdown after I watched the Zippers tour video. And, here it is. Thanks, John, you da man!
Shame we never had an indication on cost of a stage 3 as is and a rough idea of cost for the stage 4 with all supporting mods. Aside from that, absolutely loved the series!
Thanks Jhon, this is I install in my bike after I start looking your videos . Flo lever Suicide choppers luggage rack LED lights JNR fast air ride suspension And my next project is the legend from suspension . You right is better Start whit suspension before you do it anything else on he bike.
U need as much power as u can get ur hands on!.. being a old drag racer for over 35 yrs so it's important to me. I just got my hands on a DRAGON T143 S&S engine!.. CANT WAIT TO GET HER IN NEXT WK!!..🥳 162 rear wheel horse n 157 ft lbs of torque!
Amen to the suspension change advise. After Stage II , I put Progressive monotube cartridges in the front and Revo As in the back and hell, the bike rides like on rails. Night and day difference from stock, couldn't believe it. Agree to everything you said. Good video 👍
Bought my 2011 dyna street bob new and left it stock for about 5 years. Ran great but I then put in the SE 110 tire shredder kit (106hp/122tq). I probably use about 70% of the power the way I ride but that last 30% is more than enough to get me in trouble when I do "give er"
This is an excellent overview as you do a good job of explains way you would do the various stages. I paid around 2800 to get to stage 2 and it gives me what I wanted. A bit more power for passing 2 up. Could you explain suspension upgrades and brakes ? Why one would do it and to what extent. I like your channel a lot good rides and info.
I just installed the thrashin 9.5” pullbacks with low bend bars and love them! I’m 6 foot with long arms, so I was worried about the pull backs being too close to me. but they are really comfortable with a slight bend at the elbow and my hands sit just below my shoulders. 🤘🏼
How much power? How much is to much? Ten second quarter mile should be fast enough. Loud exhaust? Hell, people do not even hear or see Emergency vehicles coming. To busy texting, or something in their insulated, sound dampened, radio blasting cage.
Great Video and Thanks for going through that!!!!! I was wondering which way to go. I'm coming from a custom R1000 with a lot of power and wanted to get something comparable to that! Anyway, once again...Great Video
Awesome information!! I have a stage 2 on my 13 Fatboy and it has plenty of passing power. Not gonna lie I would love to go bigger but I would probably buy a new one and then go big. Great job John!!
The throttle is adjusted via the tuner. You can fine tune it nicely. I have the 131 and like you said smooth. I am very conservative rider and so i never break the wheel loose. But with that said i did upgrade the clutch etc. want long term reliability.
Thank God somebody finally put some common-sense together everything you said right down to the front suspension right on the money motorwise you are dead on I know I have a 124 214 Ultra Limited
Think about adding a CVO chin fairing with the chopped engine guard. It will bring the new paint down to the front of the engine. It’s a nice touch to compliment the Klock Werks front fender.
I like loud exhaust, but not obnoxious where it will blow my ear drums out. That's why this is my third baffle for my shorty exhaust. If this third baffle don't work than I'm just sticking with stock.
I have a 2020 RGS with a Factory 131 on it,,,,it kicks ass,but if I want some more power,,,it's still a Harley,,I'll ride my 2020 Kawasaki ninja H2SX with 200 HP!......nice video!
Option 2 is keep everything pretty much stock other than some cosmetic upgrades and slip on exhaust . Ride your cruiser as a cruiser … what it was designed to do . Take the money you saved and buy your self a metric sport bike and when you just wanna rip take that bike out .
Nice breakdown John... I was thinking of doing a 131 on my 2021 Roadglide I figured it would carry the warranty but I do ride hard sometimes to hard lol.. you have me rethinking what way to go.. Any thoughts on what tuner to use I was thinking Thundermax
Harley Screaming Eagle is the only tuner available for the 2021 until one of the other manufacturers can figure out the new ECM’s that HD is using. Hopefully they will soon 😀
hey John, Love your videos. I just did a stage 2 back in July on my 21 RGS with the screaming eagle cam, had it professionally tuned, and love the extra passing power. I'm also running the 4.5 inch Khromewerks exhaust. I'm now thinking about a stage 3. I wouldn't say I rode hard per se, but don't want any issues. Is the clutch, basket, and transmission a definite? FYI I already upgraded to the legends on the front and back way before the stage 2. just trying to see if the stage 3 is worth it bc I do love s loud and powerful bike
Sweet info man for me and my pretty much always two up riding I noticed a nice difference in my stage 1. Saved some dough cause my 09 had the catless header. Would probably only do a stage 2 if my engine needed to get opened up for some reason. I love the big 21s on the baggers that was my dream bike to have one with a big wheel and mines got it. I definitely Vote Blue for the paint job I gotta soft spot for blue i think mines called flame blue pearl 2009 electra glide love the vids
Thanks for the great content! What about the crank assembly? At what point is it an issue. Double the power on a stock HD bottom end. Seems like a bit of a stretch. I went Darkhorse on my twin cam. LittleO
Great information. Makes total sense. All that power pulling makes sense to upgrade all the parts or else your susceptible to the weakest link. Solid vid sir ! Good to see ya brother 💪🏽

Hey John that was very informative thank you. Can you tell us how each stage affected your gas mileage as well. What is your current gas mileage now that everything is broken in. I'm looking to upgrade my power as well leaning towards stage 2 because of cost and reliability. But am wondering what that will do to my miles per gallon.
No, man. No, if you’re not into sports bikes. Powerful, responsive, fast Harley is something not everybody will understand. I do, so I know why John’s doing it. 👊🏻
John, did the Ride On in your tires work out well? I mean, is balance correct? I’m thinking about putting it in my tires in the future. Thanks, bro! 👊🏻
I would definitely upgrade to stage 2. Now, if I had excess of money laying around, I would then spend some into upgrading to stage 4 including the rest of drivetrain components just for giggles. Otherwise for way lees money a near 200hp crotch rocket would be in order, if I really wanted to feel the real power and speed… but that’s just me 🤣
I’ve been checking with shops in my area , none do power vision , they put it down . They have one &. done tunes , with no box. Why do you think they stay away , and what tune do you recommend ? I’m doing a stage 2 on a 2019 SG Spec. With 114 . Fullsac header, KromeWerks duals , ness big sucker and maybe a Wood 22XE . Thanks
Does the upgrade at JD Cycles void the ESP warranty. Will HD service work on the bike after a 128 upgrade at JD’s? Would HD be able to repair a JD upgrade when the just deal with HD own parts? Sounds like once you go with the JD upgrade there no where else to maintain and service the bike except for JD’s or the equivalent which isn’t in every town. Writing from VA. Would live to link up if you and your team pass through VA again!
40+ years working for Harley-Davidson (via dealers) I've owned and ridden them all, and right now i ride a stock FLHRC because after all those years a hopped up Harley is fun, but they also become very unreliable, and a Stage 1 Yamaha R6 will still smoke the Harley, and Forget a Harley keeping up with an R1 bone stock out of the box 200HP and that's why my harley is stock, and if i get a need for speed i'll get a metric lol
@@CYCLEFANATIX i'm a retired Harley dealer manager i can't afford all the stages, but love my road king going to do a stage 1 next winter (if i can find a tune that won't cost $1000 bucks) but i will be buying a used naked bike soon as a 2nd ride.
I have a s&s super street 2-1 race only exhaust the baffle or db killer is just a pipe welded to the flange. Should i switch that out for a louvered baffle?
Great break down indeed. I have a 103 and looking for a little more pick, would the 110 be the same as a stage 2, and I went with hd-772 ohlins shocks for my rear.
Can I buy your bars when you make the change?? I just bought a 2020 Road glide special with the eagle eye special edition paint, bike had 12in bars on it but they are too small!! Let me know!!!
@@CYCLEFANATIX Awesome bro! Big fan of the channel and pumped to see it grow like it is! I’m from Long Island but live in Key West, put that in your bucket list rides for the future to come down to Southermost point USA! Fall sounds good to me, probably when I would be able to afford to do a bar change since I just put everything I had into getting the new road glide! Keep the videos rollin!!!
I agree with everything you said! Great info for people undecided…I have 2018 107 with stage 2 and ported and polished heads, full Rc Excalibur exhaust, Andrews 460 tour cam and also tuned…The bike rips pretty hard! More than enough power for me! 23:08

When we were riding Evos we were happy to get 80 horse.... plenty of power at that time.. how has this changed?

Great video John!!
Thanks!

Thanks for the great content!
What about the crank assembly?
At what point is it an issue.
Double the power on a stock HD bottom end. Seems like a bit of a stretch.
I went Darkhorse on my twin cam.
LittleO
my 117 stock everything runs just fine
Great video brother, appreciate the tips
Great information. Makes total sense. All that power pulling makes sense to upgrade all the parts or else your susceptible to the weakest link. Solid vid sir ! Good to see ya brother 💪🏽
Very informative, and detailed 👍🏽
so my motor is a stage 4 now, cool.
Super helpful!
John does Glenn do any blogs of his Road King 🏍
💯 facts
If your warranty is important stay with factory parts, if you don’t care about warranty like a lot of us go big bore! Just my .02 By the way my warranty was gone in 48hrs. And no regrets.
What about upgrading brakes?
Suspension too
My question is…. Not how much power do you need, as is… is it reliable?
Hey John that was very informative thank you.
Can you tell us how each stage affected your gas mileage as well. What is your current gas mileage now that everything is broken in. I'm looking to upgrade my power as well leaning towards stage 2 because of cost and reliability. But am wondering what that will do to my miles per gallon.
honestly, for all the money spent on upgrades just to go fast it would be easier just to buy a used sportbike as a 2nd bike
No, man. No, if you’re not into sports bikes. Powerful, responsive, fast Harley is something not everybody will understand. I do, so I know why John’s doing it. 👊🏻
Thank you that was a lot of very helpful info
The question isn’t how much I need but how much can I have. :-).
Good stuff, thank you.
What you think about putting on external breather on your arlenness air cleaner by dk customs
thanx for a clear and nice english
Well there's a question, or should I just drag my mille out

I would definitely upgrade to stage 2. Now, if I had excess of money laying around, I would then spend some into upgrading to stage 4 including the rest of drivetrain components just for giggles. Otherwise for way lees money a near 200hp crotch rocket would be in order, if I really wanted to feel the real power and speed… but that’s just me 🤣
Mmmm, a H2R is 55 grand. You can get 200hp out of a supercharged HD for half that
Watsup man it was nice meeting you guys today at bear mt (Yamaha r3) if you don’t mind what was the name of the track you mentioned?

Great break down indeed. I have a 103 and looking for a little more pick, would the 110 be the same as a stage 2, and I went with hd-772 ohlins shocks for my rear.
Stage 2 is just a cam replacement. Give quite a bit more power, but does not increase the size of your engine

What do you use to clean your denim paint
What does it cost to switch from a belt to a chain drive ballpark?
$1000. very prudently
Great video but just get a triumph rocket 3GT and ride it as hard as you want !!! It will take all you can give it !!
But. It's. Not. A. Harley
@@paulfiore7083 had 2 harleys I will never go back !!! They just don’t compare to my rocket 3 gt !!
Wrong question…should be asking how much power do you want on your Harley Davidson, you don’t really need anything above stock
Can I buy your bars when you make the change?? I just bought a 2020 Road glide special with the eagle eye special edition paint, bike had 12in bars on it but they are too small!! Let me know!!!
@@CYCLEFANATIX Awesome bro! Big fan of the channel and pumped to see it grow like it is! I’m from Long Island but live in Key West, put that in your bucket list rides for the future to come down to Southermost point USA! Fall sounds good to me, probably when I would be able to afford to do a bar change since I just put everything I had into getting the new road glide! Keep the videos rollin!!!
Yah, but my Stage IIII allows me to accelerate briskly up to interstate speed and absolutely no faster then then the posted speed limit…………………….
Also comp ramps fail
There's really never enough lol

It's how big your wallet is. I did RS468 cam decatted with powervison tune. It's good for me.
