@Blockhead I have a 2016 Electra Glide Ultra with what I’m told is a Stage 1 Screaming Eagle kit on it, it has an X pipe exhaust and I recently tooled around the dealership lot in first gear and the bike acted(sounded) like I was lugging it by going too slow! I bought it as it sits now and I’m wondering if there’s more than the Stage 1kit involved! They provided the tuner that was used on it, but maybe Chris can provide me with a little more information than what I currently have! The lot area around the dealership is not real large and I was trying not to hit parked cars or get the bike moving too fast to maneuver around the building or parked vehicles. Maybe I’m just scared of the power the bike has.

[@Blakeization11]

Man its weird, I swear I have been subed for awhile but it said I wasnt. so I resubed. KZbin is weird sometimes lol.

[@dijie2]

Eyyy Block. Bought my 2018 Breakout after your watching your review way back when and just ordered the TBR Turnout to wake it up. Keep on growing

[@moto.meditation]

Hit that bitxh 😂😂

[@josephandreuccetti7270]

You need exhaust scavenging I wouldn’t call it back pressure since that’s a loaded thing to say You need a 2 into 1 for flow and exhaust to to essentially pull the air out without running flow

[@Markotto09]

Bringing Chris on board was a fantastic idea. This channel has become one of my top channels. The content just keeps getting better.

[@BlockheadMoto]

Thanks Mark, glad you’re enjoying the vids! 🤘🏼

[@LongDistanceMotorcycleFans]

Chris was awesome

[@LARGO125]

And for those of you with Carbeureted motors, the stage 1 is still a 3 step process, but a little more mechanically involved. In place of a tuner (used on FI engines) you re-jet the carb, which will allow a higher fuel flow rate.

[@jacobdowney318]

Will the higher fuel flow rate take away from the gas mileage?

[@Smitty39]

@@jacobdowney318 yes, but not tuning it will also potentially take away from the gas mileage because the bike -might- run rich or lean which will also hurt the overall performance.

[@jacobdowney318]

@@Smitty39 I figured it would run richer if not tuned properly. But I do know the more you do for performance the more mpg you lose unless you do something that helps the mpg

[@the_kurse_17]

I have to say, you two together are a great team in detailed explaining of tech. Keep up the awesome job!

Hey guys,love these episode's. I recently bought a new softail 114 and love how in depth you discuss and show details that might easily be overlooked, keep up the great vids,

[@TheMotoJawn]

Love this educational style video and level of detail! Keep ehm coming !

[@MushuBear]

Hey guys! Love the info you guys are sharing in this video. I’d really appreciate it if you guys took some time to discuss windshields. Not just sizing but also Advantages/disadvantages for a full size, short, mini, and no windshields/fairings. Maybe include some suggestions on what windshields you’d suggest for bike type or rider. If you haven’t already. Cheers!

[@brucesmith7858]

Hi guys. Can we start putting a mic on Chris ??? It would be nice to hear him as clean and crisp as we hear Mr. BH.

[@ShorbE82]

Agreed. I can mostly hear him but he does get too far out at times

[@theonlyredspecial]

Great team guys. Chris is not only a great Mechanic but super at getting over the details. Learning a lot listening to him. Best to you both from Ireland. 🤘🏻

Hey Blockhead, you da man . Thanks for all the work and content

I rarely subscribe to KZbin channels but I did with this cause I was impressed with the video. Great instruction, well done.

[@markwhatley9955]

I learned a lot from this video. I’m thinking about putting slip ons on my 2019 Heritage Classic 114 and I don’t even know what things to consider. You guys explain things in a way that even I can understand. Subscribed.

Ran an open air cleaner like the Trask for a while…had to change and clean it often because it filled up with bugs and dirt. Ended up switching back to closed air cleaner high flow filter for easier maintenance.

Thanks a lot for your videos! I am new to the Harley game so your vids helps a lot. Needed a kind and slow bike after a huge track crash so went for a Iron883 with 1200 kit. Slow and fun. Perfect.

[@raymondgarafano8604]

I just hit the subscribe button. I had a stage 1 done to my 2015 Wide Glide, a bigger more free flowing air cleaner, Vance&Hines short shots and an electronic device for allowing the injectors to admitt more fuel to the engine. . .I had ThunderBay custom cycles do this in Tampa, FL. then they dyna-tuned it. The bike sounds much more like a Harley than the souped up sewing machine it sounded like when I bought it.

[@samuelconner332]

Just realized today, that I’ve been watching TONS of vids and haven’t subbed. . . . Today that has changed. Good work as always, longtime viewer, new time subber.

[@willbe7442]

What I love about the way Chris works is how he lays everything out neatly and organised ready to install. Us normal folk rip open the box as soon as it arrives, and try to throw it on the bike in our work clothes and make a mess everywhere haha

[@BlockheadMoto]

So true, haha

[@CactusJack252]

One of the things I have learned in life is preparation is key, and you can apply that to about everything in life.

[@levidavid09]

That’s me every time something comes in the mail. I’m in the garage in Cole Hanns, slacks and a golf polo trying to install parts without getting my clothes dirty, just due to pure excitement. Haha!

[@dactime3780]

Very informative and nicely done. New to this and the channel, and this certainly helped me get a grasp on not only what is involved in a stage 1, but how it all ties together. I do have one question. Right now my budget limits me to slip-ons. So, on this bike, a 114 Fatboy, do I need a tune or will the factory ECM handle the new configuration on its on? Thanks again for the great video!

[@BobMcDougall]

Watching from Germany. Been subscribed since your Ms. Blockhead Learn to Ride vids.

[@CraigSmith568]

Like the 2 into 1 exhaust. Sounds good.

I'll be honest. I never knew that's why the filters were red.. I love this type of content.

[@billdemoss1049]

You guys do great work, just wandering how much it cost to put the cam in it with the stage 1and all the work, definitely worth the money 💯😁👍

I was about to comment on Chris' hat game! 🤣

[@partmonster0704]

Thank you

[@clarkbabin9799]

My first roadglide had stage one with an aftermarket exhaust. It came with the tuner and a dyno print out to prove its gain in output. It was a decent difference. Of course I went from an 05 to with an 88 on it to a rg with a 2019 rg 114 mk 8. My current roadglide is a 114 mk8 but doesn't yet have any upgrades. I traded for a 2020 rg special commemorative in blue and white. I did notice the difference in power but the 114 is still a powerful engine. The bike you worked on looked great with the stock chrome exhaust. To bad the customer didnt go with an aftermarket chrome pipe. I agree it sounds much better and I'm sure feels better powered but with the chrome it already has that just looks off. I would've gone with a long chrome pipe . Do those who are already subscribed loose the greasiness on the fingers or are were just greasier?

[@HemantBhaiyaGaming]

Finally some video explaining stage thing.

[@rxman4453]

Great channel. I love the mechanic oriented videos. No only does chris know what he is doing but he is great at conveying it to the viewer. You are definitely not boring me. I could could watch this shite all day long.

[@trollingpatroll7196]

this video has taught me chris has such a good fashion taste and taught me some parts of motorcycles and what they do too

Awesome video, I am doing that next week. Oh! I did subscribe 😂

[@stephenuffindell]

Greet video. What exhaust you running many thanks.

[@Menu2Sports]

Great video Block, enjoy your buddy @slickwideglide as well. I wonder what you know about staging a 2021 Softail and issue with the maps and warranty? To date I’ve been told you cannot stage them due to epa regulation. Any info you can provide would be awesome. Keep up the great content. I’ve got a 2022 Slim.

[@kurtcom4024]

Damn, what a delicious sound. Quick question, if I just put slip on, do I have to tune?

[@glennskorb4015]

Just got my first Harley lots to learn

[@blown8642]

Excellent video, easy to understand, thanks. I bought a 2020 Softail Standard last week that I want to modify. My plans are a Stage 2, but at this point, I haven't even decided on the Stage 1 parts yet. I assume the bike is passed warranty so whatever pipes I add should be fine.

[@buffaloharleychick]

This makes me really want to do a stage one on my sport glide! I've wanted new pipes for it since I bought that bike almost a year ago. Gotta do some other stuff including new handle bars first. Thanks for posting this video, very informative. Keep up the great content!

[@flipkoofx1137]

Thanks for the info! And yes Im subscribed! Question, will I damage the M8 if I change the exhaust without tuning it? Thanks for the guidance.

[@sevensinsvelocityshop7563]

If anyone watching this feels their job is under appreciated just think how the guy on the assembly line putting stock Harley pipes on feels

Thanks.

[@bubbanezz]

Great video. I’ve got a 2020 Road Glide that currently just has S&S MK45 slip ons on it. Contemplating the full stage 1. I know there are a lot of variables when it comes to cost (depending on the components I choose) but, what’s the typical cost of having the tune done? Once that tune is done I can kiss my Harley ESP goodbye pretty much as well don’t I?

[@richardanderson4916]

I'm subbed. I'd like some advice on my next used Harley. Looking into a Road King. I had an M8 Heritage and loved it. Bone stock, but absolutely loved it. Recently, I sat on a twin cam. Started that thing up and man what a totally different but super awesome vibe!!!!! I am planning some motorcycle vacations, riding great roads, camping and fishing. Any reason I shouldn't consider a twin cam? Love power as much as the next guy, but the feel of that twin cam so got under my skin! If I go twin cam any year I should avoid? What about the cam chain tensioner issue? Any good information appreciated

From England - Looking to buy my first Harley in the next few months and watching this video has made me realise how you can make a bland Harley into something totally awesome.
