You guys doing the stage ll torque tq trust your fly wheel?
Especially the serious hot rodders?

Thank you guys for all the info and help on this. I really do appreciate it! I’m definitely sold on the cam, I just need to decide if I’m going to do stage 3 or not. I’m going to talk to my local HD dealer tomorrow to get some numbers. I’ll be sure to keep you guys posted. I do want to stay with Screamin eagle for warranty purposes. A friend of mine told me that since I went with V&H pipes that it voided my warranty? I have never heard that! Is there any truth to that? I had mine installed from the dealer before I took delivery on the bike. I’m guessing that wouldn’t be true?
Thanks again guys!!

You’re going to get a lot of answers regarding the warranty. The fine print of the warranty is not friendly to your pipes. In reality though I’ve heard that the tuner is a much bigger sticking issue. Since you have an SE tuner you are in better shape. Considering your dealer did the pipe, they “should” stand by you if a warranty issue comes up. If you trust your dealer that’s pretty good. This answer seems to be different for everyone. Others will point out “what about warranty work on the road? Just cause you trust your dealer doesn’t mean they’ll be servicing.” It’s a shame there aren’t perfect answers besides “stick with SE parts” but many have ventured to 3rd party pipes and not had their warranty voided according to posts here. Using SE cam, Tuner and AC I think you’re in decent shape. No way your less restrictive pipes will genuinely cause harm to the motor, so if it breaks there will likely be a reason that can be pointed to. HD has full authority to void us for any reason they want, especially for crossing EPA rules, but mostly I’ve heard reasonable responses to warranty claims. Best of luck.

Thank you for your help on this. During my last service I mentioned to my local dealer that I wanted to get the stage 2 installed within the 60 days of buying the bike so it would be covered under the factory 2 year warranty. They told me not to worry, no need to rush to enjoy the bike and work that I have just done to it. That if I decide to do the stage 2 that they would stand behind their work and always take care of it!! I was very happy to hear it and to be honest not surprised (really good people) when I mentioned that to my buddy he told me that Harley Corp would ask to see the computer readout of the bike when they put in for warranty work. showing the settings that has been entered per my bike (showing the V&H pipes) and voiding the warranty. If the dealer has a say then they would most certainly stand my their word and product, I’m sure of that! Thank you for sharing your experiences, it definitely made me feel more confident about the warranty. After speaking with my buddy It was always in the back of my mind about opening the motor for performance work and possibly having a problem in the future and Harley not warranty it for something silly as pipes!! Thanks again Bowhunter!!

Thanks again Thingfish for taking the time out and helping me on this! That was my hope. If I ever did have a problem that being I used the screaming eagle parts that Harley would show mercy on me lol. It definitely would have been a lot easier to use and install the V&H fuelpak but I like the idea of using Harley parts when I can. I do trust my dealer, very good people!! I wanted to do the stage 2 but they wanted me to ride the bike with the work that I have already done first. They wanted to make sure I still wanted to spend more money on the stage 2 job after feeling the difference with the work just done. It’s not all about dollars and cents with them, definitely good people!!
Thanks again Tingfish!!
