My Stage 2 from stock was $2190 including labor and tax at the dealer.

This covered pipes, tuner, cam kit with adjustable pushrods. The stock 114 AC is already high flow so you don’t need to touch it except for style points.

It was for my 114 Heritage so labor on a RGS might be a little more, but it was a smoking deal I thought. I’ve spent as much on a good stage 1 years past. If you’re already thinking mods definitely start with the 114. It’s a better build platform from everything I’ve heard.

I took a new 114 out but it just wasn't in the budget to trade in the 2017 FLTRXS I have. I decided to do the stage 3 upgrade and I'm extremely happy with it. I also have the fullsac mx pipe with S&S MK45's and it's more than enough for me in the mtns of NC. The 2017 I have may be a bit lighter than the 2019's with the 114 since they went with a 18" wheel in the back compared to my 16 inch. I was thinking of doing a torque cam at first but in the long run the 114 was the better choice. I had the SEPST tuner with the epa correct tune but after going with a powervision from fuelmoto it really woke up the bike. My dealer went the extra mile on the install and dyno tune so checking with your dealer may work in your favor. Of course I'd love to go with the 143 kit fuel moto just did on a Road King Special for 201 HP....

I have a 2019 Roadglide Ultra 114 with a SE stage 2 power cam in it and it moves good. I will pull the tire in first and 2 nd when I am nailing it. I love the way it runs.

I went from a 2018 RGS to a 2019 RGS, because I wreck my 2018 and they totaled it. I was not looking for a 114, I was happy with my 107- but this 114 is awesome. I put the torque cam in it, with SS 2-1's and a harley tune, this motor runs really nice.

I just got back (today) for a quick 1000 mile turn around and I'm leaving for a 2500 mile trip this weekend. But all said and done, I would not get rid of a perfectly good 107 equipped bike just to get a 114. The 114 is fun, but I got there and back with my 107 and my buddies that still have 107 keep up with me just fine.

There wouldn't be much difference either way here , the 114 gives you more room to grow though, saying that I've had 2 107's that to me have been the best by far I've owned. You didn't ask but a run out 114 18 model will be a good price point of value in the next month or so.

Peace.

My Street Bob is in the process of getting a 124" S&S kit, a TTS 250 cam, Screamin' Eagle throttle body, injectors, heads, and other engine bits and an RB Racing exhaust- I def. love fast bikes and didn't think my bike was quick enough. That being said, I got the Street Bob after strongly considering a Fat Bob 114. I didn't find the difference in performance all that great. Maybe it's because the Fat Bob is heavier- but it didn't seem that much faster than the 107 Street Bob. I ended up buying the Street Bob mostly because I liked the way the narrower front tire made the bike handle and I preferred the mid set controls. I also figured it would be a better starting point for making the bike into my own- especially since the I was able to get a great price on a 2018. I'm all about making my Street Bob the best motorcycle it can be for performance and handling on public roads- and I think with what we're doing to the engine we'll have more than enough get up and go! I already replaced the rear shock with the RWD shock which makes the bike sit much better and handle better too. I'm trying to decide what to do with the forks. Part of me wants to go all out and get the Kraus upside down forks with fancy Ohlins internals or something like that. Of course then I'm going to want to upgrade to double discs in the front- some lighter wheels with better tires- then will I need a grudge box transmission? It never stops!

My advice- if the bike you like comes with a choice- get the bigger engine but if the bike you like doesn't come with the bigger engine- don't worry about it. If it's not fast enough there's plenty of ways to get is faster!
