My new Street Glide
Hi everyone, I got a 2011 Street Glide with 1100 miles on Craigslist. I just wanted to share with everyone what I have done and wanting to do. To get some opinions. This is my first "big bike" I have a 2003 883R sportster that was my first street bike. So needless to say I am very happy with the comfort of my Street Glide.
I road the bike a couple weeks and put some more miles on before doing anything to it. I noticed how hot the thing gets, so I took the exhaust off, cut open the header and removed the cat. Then added a set of V&H monster rounds so i could hear the bike. For me I found it strange compared to my other bikes to ride this and not being able to hear the bike. I was going to go with the SE stage 1 but decided to get the K&N filter kit. I also added a Power commander V and called them to get a map close to what I'm running. It now runs much cooler. I think it runs a little better than before but no huge difference. I'm now wanting to add a set of cams, Andrew's 54h. I think this will fix what I believe the bike is missing. Just going to drop the cams in and leave everything else alone. I'm happy with the performance so I think just doing the cams and getting it on the dyno after I'm done messing with it. Then it should be right where I want it. Now I Just need to decide if i want to tackle the cams or just pay the 700 and have someone else do it.

Great choice in cams too. Please keep us posted when you install them.. We will be interested to know, as there is not enough information on the 54's.
