Default 2018 Heritage 107 Stage 1?

Just picked up a Heritage 107 and am loving the bike! Has anyone done a Stage 1 on it yet?

Nothings been really available to do that with yet. Everything from Harley is pretty much back ordered till december and the aftermarket guys are being super slow.

I have a FXLR. am wanting to do the stage one, but the software is screwed up, so I'm not buying yet. I have calls into my dealer and to HD customer service. The software downloads say our bikes are Twin Cooled which they are not. I have a 17 Stage 3 Road King with the tuner, so I am able to look at the new maps. All the 17 maps seem fine, but until they straighten out the problem I'm not dropping in a twin cooled map into my oil cooled twin counter balanced motor. Have gone thru 2 motors in the Road King due to sumping and not doing anything besides Stage 1 to this bike. It's so light I think it can hold it's own against the RK. If I find out what's up I'll update.

Thanks for the input guys. I just spoke to my dealer and confirmed if you go with any other tuner it will void out the warranty.

I just updated the Street Tuner Pro software and it does not list the Heritage 107 Stage I base map. It has other 2018 Softail M8 107 maps and has the Heritage 114 but not the Heritage 107.

That's odd. Did they recommend just to run a different 107 map? I can't imagine the Slim, Fat Boy, Street Bob, Low Rider, Deluxe 107's are any different really. The Deluxe has the same pipes as the Heritage so I'd think their maps would be identical?

no recommendations as of yet. I have not bought a Tuner yet but i've had the software for other bikes. I'm not ready to go stage I yet so I'll wait and see what turns up. I agree the map should be pretty close if not the same as the Deluxe.

Our Outlaw 587 and Outlaw 606 Air Cleaner Systems are great for a Stage I on the 2018 Softails.

As is the Power Vision Tuner.

I also don't think they can really void a warranty on the entire bike if you use a non hd exhaust and air cleaner and tune with a non HD tuner for Stage 1.

Certainly that's what my dealer told me. They wouldn't cover non HD pipes, air cleaner etc, but the warranty for the rest of the bike would be untouched. Which is what you would expect.

On the other hand, they did say that if you used a non HD cam or even installed an HD cam yourself, then they would void the warranty on the motor - but not the rest of the bike.

I guess it comes down to common sense at the end of the day.

Might be different in the US - with the tune being the particularly tricky part....

Yes, and with the M8 being so new that's the one part of the warranty I'm most interested in preserving.
