On my 2022 LRS I did the S&S 475 cam kit, a more free intake, and the Two Bros. exhaust. While that exhaust is not the best performing as it has a dip at low RPM, it's what I could get at the time. With a true dyno tune I am getting 115 hp and 125 torque to the rear wheel. If that helps anyone.
125 TQ/103 HP. Of course, that is all at the crank. The 2024 Gen II 117" RGS FLTRX is rated at 130 TQ/ 105 HP, as is the 2025 model. Here is a dyno graph of the TTS 185 in that bike. You can see it doesn't come close to those stats at the rear wheel. The black line is stock, base line.
The cam, pipe, mufflers, and air cleaner gets a substantial gain. I have asked about using this cam in a Gen I and it can be done, but it requires valve springs as it has more lift than the stock Gen I valve springs can handle, and there could be valve clearance problems with the pistons. A piston change was advised. If I'm going that far, I'm probably going to bore it. You can get to 124 ci. with the stock cylinders.
Agree with you but Mo Co. is probably hoping to sell those clamshell bags to LRS owners. Also, less variety in manufacturing. Only the wide tire bikes get 2-2 and all narrow tired bikes get 2-1 .probably cuts down on different mounting brackets, etc. But I am with you, I preferred the 2-2 over the 2-1 on the LRS.
I dont think the change of the exhaust was a big deal for the LRS, but not having those classic reverse cone mufflers on the new heritage and using the same 2 into 1 as the LRS and Street Bob?
That's a mistake IMO.
