I’m imagining due to the head work and compression. If that’s not the reason, I’ve no clue.

Default How’s it feel after break in

[how does it feel after break inQUOTE=Vision;17395405]Update: Received the bike after the Stage 4 with the T-Man 226 Cam. While waiting for the bike, I looked but was unable to find any reviews on this CAM. I took a chance on this configuration after talking with TR from T-man. What a sleeper! The bike hauls Azz! I paired the upgrade with a D&D Billet Cat exhaust system. I was there when the bike was first started and my immediate opinion, was that it was pretty quiet, especially compared to my 2016 Street Glide with an S&S 124. However, when the tech pulled out the lot to take it for a test ride, a brilliant exhaust tone came out of nowhere every time he cracked the throttle. I opted for a Thundermax for the build and have yet to hear any decal pop. The throttle is very responsive and the bike pulls like a freight train. The cam seems to kick in almost immediately around 2000 RPMs and pulls straight through. I've only touched 4000 RPMs during break in. At some point after break-in, I will get it on a dyne to see what my numbers are. From pure feel, I'm very impressed! I will give another update after the 500 mile break-in, which I should reach this week some time.[/QUOTE]
