Engine differences

I've got a 2020 StreetGlide with the 114 engine. I am looking about trading for a 2023 RoadGlide Fast Johnnie with a 117 engine.
Am I going to be able to tell much of a difference between the two of these?
Thanks guys..

The 117 has a bit less compression, but a better cam, than the 114. The 117 stock makes a touch more torque than the 114 stock, but around 10 more HP.

More is more, you’ll be able to tell.

From someone who has owned a 2017 cvo with a 117 and then with a 131 as well as 2021 cvo with a 117. Also a 2019 RGS with a 114 and currently a 2022 RGL with a 114. I prefer the 114, with a stage 2 and a HP cam, it will just about keep up with the 131 motor.
