Default 2018 Sport Glide 114 Upgrade

I purchased a 2018 Sport Glide with a 107. The Bike went straight back to service for the Screaming Eagle Stage IV upgrade to a 114.

WOW. What a ride!

1) I did the upgrade immediately because ALL parts etc would be covered under warranty, in writing, just as if the bike shipped from the factory with them.

2) no after market pipes are available yet - which is fine - lets see what HD comes up with.

I wanted to thank forum members who talked about some oil pump issues/sump ? probs and engine failures because it made me - get things in writing AND buy and extended warranty.

Thanks Folks. See you on the road.

Default Good Luck on the Upgrade

Good Luck bike sounds awesome. I have the Road Glide 107 and I am definitely going to upgrade to 114. Don't believe everything you read on these forums, Im convinced more than 80% of it is internet trolls bad mouthing the mother company Harley Davidson because their crappy bikes cannot compete. Victory has bit the dust, Indian is as ugly as sin and what can I say about japanese's bikes.

Okay okay - pics Rear view because someone asked
added the 5.5 inch windscreen - nice. Does a good job if your 5'8" I alway where ear plugs to avoid hearing loss from wind.
107 upgraded with Screaming Eagle Stage IV kit. WOOF.

I own, or have owned, several motorcycles - yes I am a motorcycle *****. Big Honda 2014 F6C Valkyrie and the F6B both 1832 cc platforms, Triumph Speedmaster, and the 1700 cc Storm, 2015 Indian Scout.

I have noticed on all the brand specific forums you will hear more about problem(s) that may seem disproportional BUT sometimes you can glean a tidbit about an issue that is trending - like my Indian Scouts starter failure or my Honda's lag on take off etc... It's all good. You just have to learn to sort through it. Even the trolls if you learn how to keep them in perspective.

I want to keep an open mind and enjoy ALL things motorcycle related - except fatalities.

You didn't say in your other thread you upgraded to the Stage IV. I'm so jealous.

Couldn't help but wonder about the OP comment. Several times I have had at least part of an exhaust put on a bike that was not designed to fit.

Glad you have a bike you like. Do you have the dyno numbers?

Couldent you have just got the bike with a 114 to start ? Or is that not an option on the sport Glide ?
