Harley Davidson Stage 2 vs Stage 1 Upgrade M8 114 vs M8 117

In this video, I explore with you the Harley Davidson Stage 2 vs Stage 1 Upgrade on my Road Glide Special 114 and my Street Glide CVO 117. The Harley Davidson Stage 2 vs Stage 1 includes a cold start and warm idle comparison. I also get into the Harley Davidson Stage 2 vs Stage 1 horsepower and torque numbers. You may be surprised at the horsepower and torque numbers the Harley Davidson 114 Stage 2 gets as compared to the Harley Davidson 117 stage 1.
As promised all the parts used in the Harley Davidson Stage 2 upgrade are listed below.

Just did the stage 2 on my 2019 FLTRU. Wood 22x, JackPot 2-1-2 header, S&S GNX MUFFLERS, S&S Oil pump, Tapps and and cuffs. It’s a vast improvement. 120hp, 133 torque. Sounds great and moves like the wind. Fuel Moto provided everything including Dyno tech power vision tune. Highly recommend. Subscriber.

[@BdeSimon]

Harley is no longer allowed to void your warranty if you put after market parts on or in your bike. Not sure why so many people dont know this yet

[@HDVIBE]

That is true when it comes to parts and who does the install. However, the one exception in the new warranty information is a non Harley EPA tune. So if you use another tuner that maps the ECM and it gets hooked up to the Harley Digital technician, the VIN gets flagged in the Harley system and if an issue arises, the warranty more than likely will be void. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

[@jasonbreedlove495]

Rick, Great talking points and just some good info. I had the 447 cam in my 2018 107 heritage and like yours, really woke that bike up, especially with the power to weight ratio. Went aftermarket Fueling 465 cam on my 2017 Streetglide with full Rinehart exhaust and boy is she fun. I can't pick a fav or more power, both are snappy as hell now and it makes me want a cam in the 114.

[@jasonbreedlove495]

@@HDVIBE yea it wasn't until the dealer I bought the heritage from asked if I wanted the cam as part of the deal? Only paid for the parts and labor was waived. I feel that a cam is more than enough of a change, and yet still practical while budget friendly. Did a 95" kit on my 02 roadking and had more issues than I care to recall, so cam is the most I'll do. Once these motors start giving out, I'll just get a crate motor put back in.

[@breedlofam]

The reason I don't stick with HD Stage 1 and 2 is simple. A 107 with a non OEM stage 2 and proper dyno beats a stock 117. I get that HD has to follow EPA regulations, but an aftermarket cam, exhaust and air cleaner shouldn't be able to beat a stock 117, yet it does simply because the EPA has hamstrung HD so badly.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for sharing your perspective. The 107 as you mentioned definitely can be tuned to out do the 117 or even bigger motors. It's all about the tune and if dyno tuning it's all about the guy doing the tuning. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

[@yanceyboyz]

Subscribed, great content. Been thinking about a cheaper used 114 on a 2018/19, was going to do the recommendes oil pump and cam plate change, so it's interesting to see the numbers with stage 2, and like you said, you may as well do the extra work while they are in the cam chest anyway.

I have a 2022 Road Glide St with 117 M8. Did a stage 2 with a Star 30-30 cam, 50 MM S&S manifold, D&D 2-1 Billet Cat with Vortex baffle. Just had it Dyno-tuned the other day with power vision and got 123 HP and 135 TQ at the rear wheel. Max torque hits at 3k rpm. Keep in mind, when a manufacture quotes horsepower and torque figures, it always at the crank, which is much higher than the rear wheel, so not a fair comparison.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Todd for the info. Sounds like you really have your bike dialed in. Those are some really nice numbers. I can't imagine riding a bike with that much torque. Must be incredible. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊✌️👍

[@lnklover]

My dealer was shilling this exact set up. I never took the plunge. I have 2022 RG CVO with the black chrome so limited choices if I want to keep exhaust matching. And after a full year of the endless opinions on cams I’m kindof left wondering if max power necessarily equates to max riding enjoyment. I’ve heard stories of people with 131 kits that hated riding them at lower speeds. And I wonder if a cam that is more middle of the road may be something nicer to cruise with. Do you have any thoughts on this and are you completely happy with the direction you went? Do you find that you need to clutch the bike more at low speeds? Is it still comfortable lower speed group ride cruising?

[@HDVIBE]

My experience with the SE8 447 cam has been very positive. No change in ride except when I want to twist the throttle a bit harder and you feel the extra torque and power. Also at slow speed I have no issues. I recently spent a few hours doing slow speed maneuvers on the range and was perfectly comfortable with the set up. If you are a subscriber already....thank you.

You got good numbers for the HD cam, I had the same cam and tuner put in my 2019 RGS 114 when it was new and I only got 96 hp and 115 lb torque, I admit I was very disappointed with my numbers but I wanted to keep my warranty which was a good decision as at 40,000 miles I needed new heads, pistons and cylinders and it was covered by my extended warranty! However, I do plan on changing for an aftermarket torque cam later this year when my warranty expires as want more power!

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Staying in warranty does limit the bikes a bit, but, for me I feel better having peace of mind that if something does go bad, then I'm covered.

[@director2bob]

Hey Rick.....great video brotherman. . I hit the "subscribe" and "like" button 30 seconds into the video which I never do. This is easily one of the very best videos I have seen on Harleys and engine comparisons. . I turn 62 next month and buying a new Harley Low Rider ST for my Birthday. My last Bike almost 20 years ago was a 825 lb Street Glide with the massive 88 cubic engine🤣. When I saw the Low Rider ST with the stock 117 engine and weighing 100 lbs less than a Street Glide I new this is my next bike because when you are a fossil like me, the lighter the better. Plus that's a big freakin engine. I was going to do a stage 1 but somehow you convinced me to do a stage 2 before I even pickup the bike. I remember riding a 103 CVO Street King back in the day during one of the Harley tours where you test ride all their bikes and was blown away how a stock engine had more pull than the stage 3 I did on my Softail Deluxe at the time. The only thing I am worried about is a stage 2 on a 117 may be too much and rip the arms off this old man when I twist the throttle. All joking aside I need to quickly decide on a stage 1 or 2 before the bike leaves the dealership. Any thoughts my friend? And will say when you started up both bikes the 114 with the cam sounded a tad meatier and grawlier which is why I am thinking to go with a stage 2 now. Problem is I am a senior citizen now so don't want a bike I can't handle. Never though I would say those words. And I guarantee your YT channel is going to grow exponentially fast. Just keep putting out great content like this video. Safe travels my friend. 🙏.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing. I appreciate your very kind words and support. As to your question, the 117 on the Low Rider ST is a big engine for the lighter bike. I have ridden that bike in stock set up and it's quick. I'd suggest doing the Stage 1 and ride it a while then decide if you need more torque and power. I think going to a Stage 1 will give you the sound your looking for plus you will get a tune with a Stage 1 which will make that throttle response much better. I hope that helps and again thank you for your support. Enjoy that new bike and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

Had a s/e stage 2 torque cam in my 114-then swapped to s&s 475 Worlds of difference, with an aftermarket tune ofcourse The torque cams hardly noticeable once up to speed, the 475 actually keeps pulling the more you roll it on Wouldnt waste my time or money with a s/e cam or dealer tune again.. also sounds far superior I get that people leave the 117 stock as its probably “enough” power but if your going to do it do it right this time and do an s&s 475 or redshift 468 or alike in the 117 with the whole kit not just the cam Screw the warranty screaming eagle cams are useless Once you have a proper stage 2 unless your racing its more than enough for the street If it makes the 114 go hard the 117 would only go even better Had no issues what so ever with reliability etc so warranty has not been an issue its a reliable kit aslong as installed and tuned accordingly

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Luke for all the info. This is very helpful. I may put a 475 in at some point in the RGS. Since I have the entire cam chest changed out, I'd just need to have the cam dropped in and get a different tuner. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍

I have a 23 Road Glide ST. I put stage 1 with Harley Street Cannon slip-ons and Pro Street Tuner. I also added the Harley Smart Tune Pro. Admittedly the bike runs great and has excellent power. But, having more money than sense, I somehow want more. Tech I talked to told me Harley did not offer the torque cam in the 117 ST as it was so close to the 447 that you could not feel the difference. I am looking at the Screaming Eagle Power Cam (462). Many commenters in various forums state that with this cam you will lose low end torque, however all of these were installations in 107's and 114's. If you look at Harley's dyno chart you see significant increases across the board. Also comments by people who actually put this cam in their 117's report more power at all RPM's from stock and are very happy. My bike came with a lifetime warranty and as such I'm going to use Harley parts installed by dealership in my drivetrain.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I also have studied the torque and HP curves for the 117 with the 462 cam. It's definitely an increase over the stock 432 cam and looks like a nice upgrade. I'm still debating if I will upgrade the cam on my 2023 ST or go to the Stage 3 122 kit. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

I have a 2022 Lowrider M8 117. It's a beast I'm still getting use to. Highway speed in Florida is typical 70 with most people doing 80. I have to remind myself there is a 6th gear because 80 in 5th is so smooth. Twist the throttle at 70 and I was shocked how quickly I got to 90. Practically speaking I'm not sure spending the money for a stage 2 is worth but who ever said what we do on motorcycles is practical.

I see you have seat comparisons which I decided to do instead with some touring capabilities on my 07 Softail Night Train.

Nice video. Thank you. Small suggestion. It would be nice if you had posted the numbers side by side on the screen as it’s easier to look and compare vs just hearing about it. I’m with you on the Screaming Eagle stuff to keep the warranty intact. I hear so many negative comments from people about SE but I’ve had no problems at all and I’m more than satisfied with the way my bikes performs. I have a 2018 Ultra Limited with a 107. I put the same stage 11 as you did. Incredible how much difference it makes. I also have a 2021 RGS 114. I haven’t put a stage 11 on it yet but I will say the 107 stage 11 is amazing compared to the stock 114. I think doing the stage 11 on your 117 would be awesome as well. Safe riding 🏍️

[@SJBagger]

Rick, great vid. I mean like you said, there are several different options to go with. For me, I also considered pipe especially going 2 into 1, in order to maximize hp and tq. Additionally, I use an aftermarket tuner so when you are dialed correctly you shouldn't see huge degradation of mpgs. Anyway, I did have the 447 cam on my 107 and although it was a significant increase over stock, I wanted more out of the 107 and found that through an aftermarket cam. I mean if you aren't looking for maximum power and torque on that CVO then stick with SE. BUT, if you wanted to see what that 117 is really capable of stage 2 wise, getting the most out of that M8, then I would say go aftermarket. Just remember, if you do the latter, you'll want to go back to that 114 and swap out the cam 😆. Hope all is well otherwise.

My 107 with Wood 22XE, Freedom Performance 2-1 turnout and and FuelMoto AC/DC air cleaner put down 109/119 to the wheel on a dyno. A stock 117 puts down around 95/115. I hate that the EPA has hamstrung HD so badly that this is a thing.

That’s interesting. I went with Harley torque cam and tuner. When I was young I used to hot rod cars and learned everything has a cost. It can be milage or it can be reliability and longevity. If you want real power then go for displacement. Pushing it too hard almost always adds heat and that can cause issues, especially on an air cooled engine.

Thanks Gerry for watching and commenting. In this video, both bikes have stock headpipes. I did switch to Tab 2-1-2 on the RGS a few months ago. While I don't notice much difference in performance, you do notice a bit more sound output and with the CAT not being in the Tab pipe, the right side of the bike is much cooler.

I want the lope like your 114 has and the numbers would be acceptable. I just extended my warranty since the old one expired so I don’t want to compromise that. I’ll let the local shop do the stage 2 if I decide to go that way. I just watched your stage 1 full exhaust install and pipes look straight forward. I believe you used a FP3 Vance and Hines on that tuner? I guess I would stay with the SE tuner like you did on this RGS 114. Great videos!

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Don. Yes definitely stay with the Screamin Eagle tuner to stay in warranty. If you use the screamin eagle tuner, you will need to stick with a Screamin Eagle cam for the Stage 2. The cam HD has for the 117 is the SE8 462. This is considered the power cam. Higher lift than the SE8 447 I have in the RGS...so you will get more lope sound than I have on the RGS. However some feel a little torque loss in the lower RPM such as at take off. The torque and HP come on strong at the 3,000 RPM range or so. 👊✌️👍

Love the color. Stage 2 it depends on the cam. The Harley torque one I have is pretty weak. I have used the S&S 475 in another and it was a nice one. Larger throttle bodies help. The tappet cups are plastic so it was good to dump those , as well as a better pump. I went from 42 to 32-34 mpg. Over 130 HP the transmission will start to slip unless you upgrade the clutch. Dont do the 131 it’s not worth it after talking with a the guy I use that knows his stuff. The throttle bodies are bigger ( they are plastic too stock ) and its minimal for the displacement. My 114 with the S&S put out 120s in a Dyno with the same pipes you used but with a wider band sensor I have sold the bike and ride a triglide as my knees are shot and 2 up it’s easier for me. The triglide has TAB’s on it and the torque Harley cam. It’s heavier and pushing it too much the clutch would have to go. It’s 100 HP and about 8% higher on torque. The street pro tuner is a bit wider than the old one but still has the same limits by the EPA. I am getting the new V&H tuner as it’s epa compliant and won’t kid the triglide warranty and has added features, like temp and such keeps the warranty Indy too on the triglide. H

What are your gas mileage results after the 447 stage 2 on the RG?

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I have gotten that question often as well as others. I get between 38 to 40 MPG depending on how I'm riding. My MPG on my other bikes is about the same with Stage 1 tunes. I tend to run a bit higher RPM when I ride typically over 3,000 to around 4,000...even when cruising. I do have another video that I go in depth answering the questions I get regarding the Stage 2. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

I been looking all over for a Screaming Eagle Stage 2 power cam video for a SGST 117 to see what the numbers are and can’t find one anywhere. Do you have anything like that?

[@HDVIBE]

I do have the HD chart for the 117 with the power cam. The numbers are...TQ 118 @ 3,500 RPM HP 104 @ 5,500. Stock numbers are TQ 112 @ 3,500 RPM HP 92 @4,500.

@@HDVIBE yes i am subscribed. I am probably going to do the Stage 2 power cam on my SGST in a month or 2

[@HDVIBE]

Sounds awesome. I'm may do that as well on my 2023 SGST. Just to give it a little more kick. Thanks for your continued support to the channel. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👊👍

[@Jaynwhite_escape]

how did your mileage get affected, lost or gained MPG?

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Jay for watching and commenting. There was no change in MPG after the Stage 2 upgrade. I did put out a follow up video to answer that and a few other questions I got. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX-Tc6eDaqmXe6s If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

It doesn’t have to be a warranty stripping aftermarket tuner & cam to make good power. But you will need good advice and good experienced dyno tuner

How did that cam effect your gas mileage?

[@HDVIBE]

I'm getting around 38 mpg with the cam in the bike. Probably 1 or 2 mpg less than when I had stock cam. I'm probably also running it a bit harder than normal as the cam has only been in the bike for 3 or so weeks now. Still enjoying that quick response and added torque in the low end. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 👊✌️👍

[@greglopez4858]

I was waiting for you to talk about gas mileage difference with your conversion. 🤔

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Greg for watching and commenting. Not much difference in gas mileage. All my bikes I tend to get around 38 to 40 MPG...the 114 with Stage 2 right in the same range. I tend to run rpms in the 2800 to 3500 range most of the time so my mileage is a bit lower. Just my riding style. If you are already a subscriber to the channel...thank you.

They only changed the oil pump, they still have the cast cam plate...

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks Stephen for watching and commenting. Your statement regarding the cam plate is correct...at the end of the day I decided to change out both just for additional piece of mind.

I have a 22 RG CVO 117, I was told the Harley shop that putting in a Stage 2 wouldn't be worth it.

[@HDVIBE]

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. It definitely was worth it on the 114. I've heard from others that it is also a nice increase in HP and TQ on the 117. Not sure still if I will do it or not, but, maybe someday. If you have already subscribed...thank you. If you haven't yet, I'd be honored if you'd consider doing so. Ride safe and enjoy. 👊✌️👍
