CVO Stage III .. A few thoughts of my own
Yes.. we have an update from here in Sunny 68 degree PA .. just today I gathered up the bike and went through my break in for ring seal, whether you believe in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear pull too decelerate between pulls is irrelevant, for the job was well done and is done, there is no smoke and the engine is quiet, as a matter of fact none of my new sleds smoked.
Upon starting the bike and letting it warm a bit the idle was quite different almost to believe it wanted to be an EVO but didn't know how, that humored me some and thought maybe I would say something but chose to believe the single cam was doing just as it was designed to do. After my 20 miles I started my evaluation,I had a Stage III done on a Twin Cam that became disastrous, being I never rode the bike before they did the work, and it had a vibration that was not going away, no matter what I tried .. bike was gone in less than 1500 miles. I say this because the sled now with this Stage III was smooth before and is still smooth after .. that makes me very happy.
The power was getting better the more I rode it just today, it pulled very nicely threw all gears, and really stretched the forks moving through the gears .. as I was making my way towards the end of my ride and finding myself in smooth flowing traffic on a two lane, it was ready to pass at any given time in 5th gear .. the results I believe are shall we say a force to be reckoned with against any HD that has put bu$ks in for any Twin Cam with Cams, with High FlowHeads, and a FatCat .. I don't have these bragging rights to prove per say, but I've been there and done these bikes and I see no need to go out side the envelope of emissions for a fun ride.
My wife was not along but I did have the gear along which totals 95+ pounds about’s, and it was not finding any hesitation for pull out, or stutter (DID ISTUTTER? no! lol).
If ya have any specific questions, I will try and answer .. 2017 CVO 114ci to117ci Stage III, w adjustable HD pushrods .. still waiting on my widebands, backorder date mid April.
I have a video at idle and vibration at idle, I will try and post.

I'm going to hold off until my warranty is done, then I'm going to pull the trigger and go with a souped up aftermarket stage kit from Steve Cole or Fuel Moto. I've already done a ton of upgrades to make it mine and am happy with the overall performance compared to my 2014 CVO BO. If you're happy, that's all that matters. Congrats.

Making me anxious, Ultra. I watched a FB video of mine on the dyno. I'm expecting it to be ready tomorrow. Wife has to work a 12 hour shift, son has to work right after school, and the dealer is an hour away! I gotta work some logistics so I can ride it tomorrow! Did sound good on the dyno, though...
Thanks for posting your results.

Come on man I saw elsewhere you put 47 miles on w stage 3 whats the verdict .. Ive got 130 since mine and its flowing nicely.. no leaks and clean snap to the throttle.. If I were to complain, I do not like the softness of the Hydralic clutch .. I want clutch snap back!!
