STAGE III 2018 Trike
 
So that is the best news I have heard yet. The 114 apparently has the same stock CAM as the 107 but the Torque Cam has now been included in the lineup. I already have the Torque CAM and want to stick with it with the STAGEIII........Since I live 150+ miles from the Dealer in Boise. I will approach this new info when the Road to Boise reopens in the next two to three weeks.....IDT is working on many miles of Avalanches that cover the Road to Boise...Some are 40-50 feet deep.

Thanks for the updated info on the 2019 114.....

Stage 3 on my 2020 Tri Glide UltraThe
 
I recently arranged a stage 3 upgrade on my 2020 Tri Glide Ultra. Today, the dealer called and said I can’t do a stage 3 upgrade because Harley can’t tune it. Of course, I could use another tuner, but then my warranty would be voided.

No stage 3 or 4

After several thousand miles on my 2018 Tri Glide with the Stage III and 447 CAM all I can say is it is GRRREAT and I don't regret the upgrade one bit. The Power and Torque Gains are definitely worth it in my humble opinion.

I only have the Stage 1 on my '18 and my gas mileage really drops when I'm on the freeway especially when I cruise over 70 MPH.
At 70MPH i can get approximately 32MPG and at 75MPG my mileage drops to approximately 30MPG.
Have you checked the highway mileage on your trike?

When I choose to ride conservatively she gets 38 MPG. When I ride like I prefer to ride when wife not on the back. She gets 35 MPG.

JUST RIDE!!!

I only once got near 38 MPG's and that was riding on two lane roads 55-60 MPH.

Sometimes the millage improves when you stay out of 6th gear. Let the engine run free and never load the engine.
A higher RPM doesn't always mean using more gas per mile. This is the reason that sometimes a cam change gets better MPG's. More power and less load on the engine, so actually less throttle ......

Well 70MPH in 6th gear @ 3000 RPM's isn't loading the engine and I'm usually (on level ground) getting 32 MPGs and as I increase my MPH's and RPM's my MPG's decreases.
My best MPG's is between 2500-3000 RPM's which is consistent with my CVO 110 with a Stage 1 kit.

Yes that RPM range seems to be the best for both power and millage. Many get below that 2500 range on slower roads and don't understand they are actually lugging the engine down and having to give more fuel to maintain their speed.
