I’m just now learning what each stage means believe it or not, but I’m itching to do some work on my sled, mostly out of boredom, I love the 107 and it’s great right out of the box and doesn’t really need much, I’m wondering how much it will wake up with just a simple exhaust and intake or would I be disappointed and wished I’d of just done a cam instead

 

LOL Night and Day !! CAM IT

 

double post

 

I did full exhaust, air cleaner and tune, noticeable difference over the stock set up for sure. Not crazy big power gains but definitely more enjoyable to ride. I rode it like that for a while before I settled on my cam choice and I have to say I wish I'd done it all at once. Bike is night and day different with the stage 2.
that's my $.02

 

"2019 Road Glide, stock and staying that way"

you might as well just go ahead and change this now before everyone else sees it !!!!

Stage 2 is the sweet spot for more power without breaking the bank or messing around with the internals too much imo

I found benefit from Stage 1 on my 107, but just leaving my 114 stock this time...but if I were to do any performance upgrades this time I would do a Stage 2

this was my Dyno tuned SE Stage 1 ..didn't do a stock baseline but the gains were mostly more torque down low and improved throttle response and overall drivability improvements, over stock and the SE Stage 1 calibration in Red

 

Just ride your bike and be happy.

 

1 + 2 = 3 Worked for me!

 

Cam it and get a full face helmet because you’ll get a lot of bugs in your teeth grinning so much.

 

Stage one still sounds like a Honda, Stage 2 is where its at!

 

I’ve had stage 1, stage 2 and the stage 4 131 on various M8 Harley’s. Overall I’ve been happy with the stage I’ve chosen but in my opinion the best set up for the money is stage 2.
If you are concerned about warranty go all H-D and there will be a noticeable improvement in sound and performance, not concerned about warranty go aftermarket for a more noticeable difference.
Good Luck in your decision..
