Open up the bags and tighten the locking ring on each lock, this is usually where the bags leak

Thanks a lot.

Stage II Torque Cam: 96HP/114TQ

I was a bit disappointed with the peak numbers until I realized the torque was basically a flat line from 2,000 to 5,000 RPM. This thing never seems to run out of grunt and the idle is now music to my ears. Seems a bit more authentic. Very happy on the ride home!

It will also significantly improve with about 500 mile break in. The new cam needs to wear a bit and the ECM needs to learn your ride style. Mine initially felt a bit of drop off around 4,000 rpm, but after a few hundred miles it stretched to 5,000 easily. Love this cam.

Are you two discussing the Screamin Eagle torque cam? As in the SE8-447. I hope so as I'm just weighting up the pros and cons of it along with S&S tappets and quickee pushrods.

I had my new 2019 Heritage 114 tuned with the H-D 447 torque cam, stock Ventilator air cleaner, S&S EPA legal slip-ons (high flow catalytic converters and sound baffles in place), H-D Pro Street Tuner, H-D Automatic Tuning Module with Wide Band Lambda (O2) sensors.
I do believe the H-D wide band tuning module allows more range of tuning adjustment to the dyno operator and better control of the engine fueling. This set-up is fully warranty and EPA legal.

SAE correction: HP 102, TQ 118; with STD correction: HP 106, TQ 123

The driveability and response of the bike is amazing. Never had anything run this well.

Nice numbers. I’ll be riding mine for a bit before getting a full dyno tune. The tech just did a quick dyno run after the cam and pro street tuner were installed. Everything save the Rineharts are Screaming Eagle and fully warranted. After hearing the Rineharts vs Street Canons I went for the sound!

If the Rineharts do not have catalytic converters in them they are not EPA legal. Non-EPA compliant parts void your powertrain warranty.

I think you’ll be happy. And yes that’s the cam we were talking about earlier.
