2019 Road Glide Special Stage 2 Torque review

2019 Road Glide Special

[@harryhowell5644]

Getting a stage 2 torque cam s&s oil pump cam plate lifters cuffs adjustable push rods. Already have highflow air full exhaust Rinehart headers rc slip ons. Can't wait to ride it!

[@ridingwithjersey6869]

Hey man. Enjoyed your video. I'm from NJ as well but now call Arkansas home. I picked up a 2020 Street Glide Special on Veterans day. Had 4" Tab Performance Slip ons when I got it. 3 days after bringing her home I sent her back for Stage 2. Like you I did the torque cam along with header, screaming eagle intake, inner cam bearing, black pushrod and tappet covers, tuner, and dyno runs. 7 year screaming eagle warranty drove my decision to have Harley do the work and not me. Your numbers if you haven't gone back should be close to mine 106.17hp and 123.75tq. The bike runs like a raped ape now as I'm sure yours does as well. Be safe out there brother.

[@mikegroft1569]

Fullsac head pipe is what im thinking of getting for my road glide special as well. Sounds good. Like the factory look of head pipe,no one will know it is a perfomance pipe. That is what i want (sleeper build) and keep factory air cover with hi flow air cleaner.

Mike Groft love it

[@TheImtoomuch]

Thank you for the idling sound! Not as lopey as I had hoped, but once you twist your wrist it sounds angry!

[@BrentClay]

Gorgeous bike. I did a Stage I on my 2019 Road Glide. I love it. I'm not a hot rodder, it was more sight and sound for me. Been thinking of a Stage II. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

Brent Clay the stage two screaming eagle torque cam gives it a little more bite. Very happy with the results. Did the fullsac headers with it and really woke the bike up

[@charlesparr3296]

@@e.w.dombroski9590 Can you feel the difference from stock cam to the Screaming Eagle cam?? I just bought a 2020 Road Glide Limited with 114 M8. Had The Screaming Eagle tuner installed and Rinehart exhaust from the heads all the way back, was considering a cam change. Was wondering if it's worth the money for a cam change.

[@roadglide1142]

I’m thinking 🤔 of stage two next or save up & just go 131 Kit ? Decisions Decisions lol 😂

[@KevinButler816]

Ok it’s been a year are you still satisfied with the torque cam or did that just whet your appetite for more power ?

[@kennethwise7108]

As a 1st Generation Road Glide owner (Evo powered) I am ALWAYS in awe of how far these bikes have evolved over the years. Here's my 95th Anniversary Road Glide which is 100% stock and unmolested with only 136,000 miles on her. I was fortunate enough to get the Chief designer of this particular model (Willie G) to autograph her last year while at Daytona. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3rSmaGtZ8yfhs0

[@slyguyaction]

Coming from a TC103, I’m surprised at how good the power is with the M8 107 in my used 2017 FLTRU I bought recently. Yours sounds great. Ride safe

[@mrkapusta9935]

Just did progressive 944 ultra low HDs on this bike today! Holy fuck do I love it even more. Stance is mean and it handles unreal!

[@Crowbar381]

Have you got any dyno results yet ?. Love that cam, not too heavy, not too light, just right

New Jersey? My condolences…

Nice bike, from a fellow Jersyan.

[@eugenestump111]

Sounds nice - good job on your RG

[@galshuller]

Dude, your bike looks amazing !!! How did you remove the red reflector of the tail light ?

[@mrkapusta9935]

I got the curved license plate holder, when i took off the stock one i just left it off. Ill be honest it was a pain in the ass getting the curved one on. plus HD gives you silver screws and i had to paint those.

[@mrkapusta9935]

Thanks for the compliment. Two more changes coming. Dropping the rear with a shorter shock and upgrading the Audio ....still doing the research on the Audio tho....expensive

[@dariocuter5692]

Great Video, thank you brother! Ride save.

[@stevenmiller3272]

The bike sound bad ass brother. I just bought 19 street bob next month I'm gonna have the dealer do a cam upgrade and I'm wondering because I really can't afford the stage 3 right now but I'm building a club style old school fxrt mini bagger(that's the overall plan anyhow) and I want some punch so when I add weight she goes. Anyhow when your cruising 80 or hwy speeds hows the rpms with the stage 2? Does it run high or normal rpm and does it give the bike better passing power? I'm wondering if I really need the 3. I don't like to redline my bike so I know I don't want the stage 4.

[@stevenpierce9160]

I am 69 my last roadking 2020 with different handbar ,stage 2 ,different exhaust pipe

[@adrianhardy8372]

Good video, who makes the curved plate holder?

[@stephenozga]

Sweet ride!! Love the look with the tips upside down on the pipes. Did you go with the 4" or 4.5"? Getting ready to order some and I'm having a hard time deciding on what size.

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

Stephen Ozga I went with the 4’s bruh. It fits the ass real nice and they sound mean as fuck.

[@ridingwithjersey6869]

E.W. Dobroski is right. The 4" sound incredible. The 4.5" does have a more subdued but deeper tone with the Zombie baffles. I did a Stage 2 on my Street Glide with 4" and Zombie baffles and there is a huge difference in sound brouggt the header and cam. Makes the bike sound like it wants to stand up and rip your face off. I love it!!

[@mathewshackelford8037]

Me again amigo...what'd you use to get the reflector off the fork? I was thinking fishing line, 3m scrub pad and some goof off to get the residue off.

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

mathew shackelford I actually had it done during a service. So not sure. I would definitely research.... I’m sure there is stuff on line

[@dannypierce3520]

I spoke with my dealer last week and the service tech told me I couldn’t run aftermarket head pipes with Harley-Davidson’s tuner?? What am I missing?? I’d like to have the smart tune pro, (I currently have the SE pro street tuner) but they’re dead set on telling me if I remove the catalytic converter then I have to have an aftermarket tuner...WTH!???

[@dannypierce3520]

I’m wanting either Fullsac or RCX head pipes...

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

danny pierce he’s full of shit and knows nothing. I’m running a fullsac header, with tab performance bam sticks with zombie baffles , a SE street tune AND a smart tune pro. Bike runs amazing. The smart tune pro allows for the extra O2 from removing the cat’s. Find a new service writer

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

danny pierce you will need the smart tune pro in addition.

[@dannypierce3520]

E.W. Dombroski Thanks so much for the info! I’m definitely gonna stick with the Smart tune pro upgrade with new head pipes now. Ready to get my torque cam installed too! Ride safe, and thanks again!

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

danny pierce right on brother ! The smart tune pro is awesome. Just cracked 10k miles and it runs like a dream. Headers and that torque cam will make you very happy. Ride hard my brother!

[@anatoliyefimov4984]

So what happened with the next time you got your bike on to the dyno?

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

still waiting to do it on my 5K...just been riding the fuck out of it!

[@patrickstevens5457]

Why not the black tappit covers

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

Patrick Stevens I liked em in chrome. Made the push rod covers stand out more . Just my taste I guess.

[@teamsmallpinepubliclandhun2652]

Which cam did you use

[@e.w.dombroski9590]

Mark Kelley I used the SE torque cam.

[@lucasplitt9214]

What tuner do you run?

[@mrkapusta9935]

lucas Plitt SE pro street tuner and SE smart tune pro.

[@lucasplitt9214]

How does it run? Did they have to drill into your headers for the o2 sensors?

[@mrkapusta9935]

lucas Plitt going to be honest, I had my service writer do the install. He Did the headers , tuner, cam, o2 sensors. Push rod tubes all for under two grand . The bike performs amazing. Exactly what I wanted. Great torque especially between 2800-4000 rpm. Get to 100mph fast as fuck. LOVE the results.

[@billz410]

Doesn’t really sound much like the old carburetored HD’s... sounds more like it’s running on bad gas.

[@twistnshout3031]

Oh I know your kid Tyler. Was ripping around with him on the supermotos. Recognize the garage. I think...
