Street Glide Special: Stage 3 Engine, Stage 2 Sound System, Genuine Harley-Davidson

34 years old and never rode a motorcycle. By watching this video I can feel my heart rate go up and now wanting to get a license

[@marka.bibbins9447]

Take the motorcycle rider course and get rolling. It is a blast

[@Skierxman]

This is good not just trying to sell something a customer might not need or want. Kudos. Most shops just want the sale and will tell you whatever it takes.

Nothing like the character, feel, and sound of an air cooled Harley-Davidson motorcycle! 🖤🏍💨🔥🔥🔥

2018 was a bounce-back year for Harley after the company faced multiple recalls in 2017. However, a few 2018 models had been affected due to similar productions issues and problematic areas. As a result, the 2018 Street Glide was called for a voluntary recall. Although the Street Glide is a Harley legend, it is not exempt from this massive Harley recall. A failing clutch problem which affected the 2017 models also affected the 2018 Street Glide, according to USA Today. Consumers reported a series of problems with this bike, including an oil pump problem and brake problems. Riders complained about the 2018 Street Glide having “cheap parts From Consumer Reports.

Holy shit-balls of fire ! That cam and those 4 inch Rinehart cans sound amazing.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Haha. Yea, it sounds great.

[@brianwillride3176]

What a gorgeous bike, one of the nicest SGS I’ve seen recently

[@TopshelfJunior]

Fire !!! I want a Harley Street Glide to be my first Harley purchase ever..

[@elcemuziq]

Just did a Stage 2 Torque Cam and the bike just came alive.. 2022 Road Glide.. The sound and amount of power is amazing now.. I would have done this sooner if I knew what the difference was. Don’t get me wrong, the stock 114 Stage 1 is really enough, but coming from the liter bike world, this suits my riding style.

[@northrider8628]

Talon gets my vote, I had to go to the garage and say hi to my 15 CVO street glide lol (I love my bike) made me appreciate all the things that made it a CVO. The wheels on my 15 are still my favorite... good to see you light up my favorite light in the menu 😎 keep them coming Matt it's cold and a long time till we get to ride up north. Makes the winter months go by having your videos 🤠

[@ranchocopper]

Sweet sweet ride! Those pipes were music to my ears. Just did this to my 107. Exactly. Stage 3 motor and stage 2 audio. Stay safe

[@scootjockey]

Thank you for the video, i must say you are so lucky to live in that hemisphere.

I’d like to hear more info about the Screamin Eagle warranty.

[@flyingdog1498]

There is none.

[@paulhorvath9784]

Also Harley sell Heavily modified bikes with a Roadworthy but Actually we can get booked by the Police,,kinda like selling firearms to people without licence without the Liability.. Also I'm under the belief a bike is Supposed to be Well run in before you can run it hard on Dynoe. So 60 days is not Enough time for a lot of people to get their bike done and retain warranty.. Maybe I'm missing something.

[@ljohnson9440]

@@wmoore004 Yes a few screws !!!!

[@thanosetsitty1896]

@@paulhorvath9784 that’s why you try to do the upgrade within the 60 days after purchase so when something does happen when it’s on the dyno or after it? They fix it for free. But only if they do it.

I choose the 2019 wheels all day. Wanted to cry when I saw the 2020 touring wheels.

[@arrakis41]

I agree the turbine wheels are great to look at and to clean! 👌

[@pengyG10]

I totally agree the 2019 SGS rims are so much more better looking!!! IMO

[@chchchscott1]

I think the 2020 wheels are the best looking wheels Harley over made.

[@angelsuarez17]

Great information on the build. Definitely will be looking into it and yes more on the SE warranty!!!

[@nomaddawhat7643]

That is one beautiful and tastefully done bike - and this is from an older guy who likes chrome. I would definitely consider a blacked out bike like that. I told myself I would leave my 107 Ultra Classic stock (love it just like it is), but every time I watch one of your videos on a built bike, or look at what Adam Sandoval has done with his 2017 RG, it makes me want to take the performance plunge. Thanks for the great videos!

[@crruzzzer1]

Very relaxing ride. Nice bike, very similar to mine. I got the Silver Flux/Black Fuze. Love it.

[@SublimeSubdue]

I'm looking at getting a 2020 SGS. Going n tomorrow, Jun. 16, 2020. Love the color on yours. I want the Scorched Orange/Silver Flux. That's the fun of owning a Harley: upgrade mania!! Thanks Matt! I enjoy your vids!!

[@Daniel-sj1pz]

I have an identical ‘20 SGS and this is literally exactly how my build will end up being(minus the lower fairings). Rinehart Slimline Duals, intake and fuel tuner shipping on 5/1.

[@frankmc5112]

I like seeing those lowers back since the CVOs didn't have them this year.

[@Neocleese]

Very nice bike Jesus. Thanks for sharing Matt.

[@jenningstim90]

Been waiting fir these vids to start up again. Top job dude. Cant wait to see some more 2020's with that wheel. Still on the fence about it.

[@BaggersandBrews]

Love the Lowers with no Tour Pack, awesome bike Matt 👍🏻👊🏻

[@roadglide]

Matt, first..where’s your gloves man? Gorgeous bike. Well done. Harley Davidson has the best looking touring bikes, bar none. Paint and accessories all have a premium look. There is no faux look on these bikes. Another brand has way too plastic in my opinion.

[@MattLaidlaw]

I forgot the gloves. My bad. I don’t like to ride with bare hands. Yes, the paint, fit, and finish is unmatched. Indian can’t touch it. 🤪

[@mopar21]

There are plenty of factory new Harley-Davidson motorcycles with fisheyes and massive orange peel. It seems the lighter colors are more prone to it. Perfect vivid black gets more polishing after clear?

[@699669king]

@@mopar21, There are plenty? How many ? Or what percentage? Based on what source? I have seen none. . It wouldn't pass quality control at Harley, either. I see none at events, shows, get-togethers, dealerships, etc.....

Unknown User Plenty? That’s strange. Been buying my Road Glides here at Texas’ largest Harley Davidson dealership Adam’s Harley Davidson for many years. I’ve walked up and down and viewed just about their entire inventory over the years and never ever seen the series of issues you just described. No disrespect brother. Hate if you will. But ain’t buying that. Not one bit.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Maybe. The last time was in 2009. I still think we have at least 4 more years minimum.

[@biglee6053]

The Talon and Prodigy wheels are both very Nice. I would love to see the Prodigy wheels on the new Heritage! In the perfect world (with dual front disc brakes). I think the Prodigy wheel keeps a little of that (spoke look) with none of the disadvantages.

[@scottpeters2974]

Yes Matt....a video on the New SE warranty would be great. I took your advice and had the Stage 2 kit done on my 2019 RGU within the first 60 days. Now considering buying and doing the same build as this on a 2020 SGS. Oh by the way the SE Full exhaust header and mufflers work and sound great. Moves the cat back to dual high flow cats under the bags. Heat what heat? A bit pricey at $1400. But I think it's worth it. Thanks.

[@jetdoctn]

Looks nice, sounds nice, awesome bike very tastefully done and practical. I like it.

[@maveryckstevensonesq9397]

Hey Matt! I'm a fan of the talon wheels. I did the Stage 4 on my '19 Street Glide Special. Love it! Now you have me tempted to do the audio upgrade, including lowers with speakers.

[@dipppincanuck]

Stage IV also on my RGS, so much fun!

[@soorajsaikumar]

[@jmargolis3451]

I like the Prodigy rims better. Looks more like spokes which I prefer. Sweet set up. Seems like going with a Street Glide Special then upgrading is better option than going CVO model. Cheers.

How do you capture exhaust notes so well? are you placing like a 2nd mic somewhere on the bike to catch the exhaust note? You're one of the only people on youtube that manages to capture the exhaust note while riding really well.

I have a second mic that I wear on my back. The sound from the Go Pro is always terrible

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

@@MattLaidlaw Oh on your back. That makes sense. I was trying to figure out where you'd have placed it. I was gonna do a 2nd mic thing for capturing exhaust note to edit in, and you have the best exhaust note capture on youtube(while riding). Thanks for the reply.

I like the Talon wheel. But the Prodigy is growing on me.

[@RevJay_Rides]

So, if I went with a stage 1 Screamin’ Eagle upgrade, that could hurt the performance down the line if I want a stage 3 upgrade? Did I hear that right? That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that. Hmmm...

[@KevinButler816]

Hey Matt what’s the dyno numbers for the stage lll ?

[@MattLaidlaw]

It’s very close to what Harley publishes. I go over the numbers about half way through the video

[@KevinButler816]

Matt Laidlaw Thanks Matt My other question is about aftermarket headers , what problems have you been seeing ?

[@socalgolf9978]

so those Rinehart are ok with stock headers? is the bottom end torque ok?

[@drpk0013]

I have a '19 SGS and I find the idle feels much smoother than the '18 SGS I had traded in. Would adding the Screaming Eagle cam give it a more of a traditional / rougher idle?

[@frankmc5112]

Matt. What can I do with my 2019 streetglide 117 CVO to push it in this power range.? I was looking at the stage kit, but outside of a compression increase I don't see why Harley makes you buy new jugs and pistons to come back out to the same displacement. I feel like the compression could have already been there with this bike so it just needed a cam swap. It's not like I'm going to ever run anything but premium in it. Kind of aggravating you still have to do all that with a CVO.

[@dwightrichards8778]

Matt, exactly what seat is that on the bike. I want one just like that.

How you get this muffler sound ? i have 2018 Road King with Rienheart Exhaust installed by H_D Dealer (the same you have with this bike )but i do not get this deep rumbles sound you have , my bike is stock otherwise , does adding stage 1 give me this deep sound , or did you remove the baffle from the exhaust i need your advice , please fill me in .

[@notnowliberty]

Matt, thanks for a great video. Just one point I think you neglected to mention as far as differences between stages 3&4, is the much more aggressive 515 cam. A question: when would you suggest going with either a beefier clutch, i.e. 10 plates or even the stiffest springs?

[@CenobiteBeldar]

What stage gives you on demand passing power?

[@andrewsumner5388]

Hey Matt I really like the Talon wheels better just a personal opinion. And I noticed the owner is still rocking the 114 cover that should be switched out. But very clean looking ride! 👍🏽

[@hwallace3271]

Great video, and very clean build. The 2020 Prodigy wheel isn't nearly as cool as the Talon. As a matter of fact, I don't like the Prodigy at all and if I were in the market for a new RKS, SGS, or RGS it would be a deal breaker if the dealer wouldn't swap out for a better looking wheel at no cost to me. Not trying to screw a dealership over, just saying I wouldn't buy unless the wheel was swapped.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Good to get peoples opinion.
