Sport Glide Stage One results!
My 2019 Sport Glide really came alive thanks to a Screamin’ Eagle Ventilator AC, Rinehart Racing slip-on and a dealer dyno tune using the SE Super Tuner. The numbers: 84 horsepower and 107 foot-pounds of torque, practically identical to a stock M8 114.
The exhaust has more bass and the bike is more responsive throughout the rpm range. Combined with the already solid handling of the FLSB, trips through the twisties have gone from “wow” to “holy sh**!”
My only other mods were 4” pullback risers for a slightly more upright riding position, and a pair of footpeg scraper bolts to give me a little warning before my boot heels bounce off the asphalt.
Love this bike! And listen to this:

Wasn’t trying to exaggerate, Uncle Kebo. A skilled mechanic and dyno tweaking got a solid 9+% gain across the board. Removing the bags and the stock muffler with cat dropped 25 pounds or so, and most of the riding I do is solo on two-lane roads with more curves than straights. I can feel the difference as well as hear it.
I know there’s more to be had with a cam and more cubes, but right now I don’t see the need.

Nice looking bike Wittangamo. I am biased as I have one in that color too. I also installed the Rinehart pipe but with the chrome end cap. I really liked the look of muffler as it does not go all the way to the rear tire. On mine I installed the SE round Extreme Flow AC and flashed the ECM with the SE tuner. I did one auto tune session and the bike was running well. I loved the low rumble of the idle but to my taste it was a bit too loud while cruising and my head felt somewhat numb afterwards. I ended taking them off after about 75 miles running them and put on the SE mufflers without an end cap. The idle of the SE mufflers is not as deep as the Rinehart, much quieter when cruising but really wake up when you twist the throttle.
Hey I am glad that these pipes are working for you, they do sound nice.
