Finally some honesty from someone who works from HD.

Thanks Sean! Great content. As you probably know, I've had Speedway install the torque CAM, headers, etc on a couple of bikes. Plus the Wood 22XE on my latest bike. Night and day difference with the Wood 22XE CAM and Power Vision 4 tuner for your listeners out there. Adding a header and CAM definitely wakes it up and gives it an even better sound, not to mention performance. Great job as always by you guys at Speedway and appreciate your content!

Thanks for the honest input and not pushing only HD products. Much respect for what you do.

Gives me John Maxwell vibes and I’m here for it!!!!

Good video. The only issue I seen is on the Bluetooth tuner that Harley Davison you do not need the cable to plug into the computer. It will pair with a phone and download and install the map. I did it personally with my iPhone on my 23 road glide Limited. And even if you watched the Harley Davison videos, they even show no computer necessary please don’t take it the wrong way now. I am curious if there is different maps to download for your PCM using the computer. I would like to get a cable just to check that out. I even use my Bluetooth screaming eagle tuner to enable the wideband screaming eagle auto tuner that I installed on my bike all by my iPhone no computer at all.

Thanks for your honest evaluation of Stage 1 & 2!

From California, 2021 Ultra Limited 4.5 Tab mufflers with a HD Stage II Torque cam, extreme breather with external catch can. Runs very well.
Thank you for taking the time to create how to videos.

Keep it growing, love seeing a home town guy, im running kromeworks on my road glide st.

[markrussell]

I have an older twin cam 03, I did the vance n Hines longshots, a standard k&n air cleaner, and a tune and loved the sound and performance. 30k miles later did the reaper 525 cams and yep. Highly recommend it for the 88 twin cam . Love it.

Thanks for this. I just got a 2024 and now have to go through “waiting for the warranty to run out” thing again. I had 4” zombies on my 2019 but I’m going with the 5” on my new one. My question is is that all I can do is slipons? No header that will make it sound better? Does everything have to be stock besides the slipons? I did get the stage one. Ok thanks and I’m glad I found your channel.

Well Done video. You made a very true statement about tab mufflers, I have 4.5 tab bam sticks on my 20 Road Glide, I just swapped the zombie baffles for the 2.5 louvered core and a new tune. The insides are surprisingly simple.

I run a two-in-one freedom performance exhaust on a 2012 Harley Tri Glide

[fxlrsaz]

I had my fxlrs tow out a Harley Davidson stealership to a local shop and you are 💯 not all are honest!

[jiriza]

Thanks brother. Appreciate the time and explanation. I went with the stage 1 with KRome Werks slip ons. Next upgrade will be front suspension which should be better than stock.

Keep up the strong videos coming.

Hey Shaun, awesome vid bro. Question, how can i safely make my SE wedge filter black? The marron color is throwing my whiskey neat coordination off. 🤔

[roegiersmusic]

Lots of good information!! Thank you for sharing 🤘😎🇺🇸 I appreciate your attention to detail and happy to have found your channel. I own a 2013 Softail Slim and 1989 Sportster. If I could request a future video topic(s)…could you show how to properly prep and remove a gas tank from a ‘08-‘17 Softail model? It is probably 2nd nature to you but I want to do things right the first time with good guidance. Another simple video idea could be a “how to” change your own grips in that same era. Non-throttle by wire models. Thank you 🤘😎🇺🇸

[Southern_Hogz]

Great info! Thanks for the honesty! Liked and subscribed! 👍

[MikeRidesEU]

Thank you for this video!
Do you need a tuner for just an air cleaner?
The idea is not for performance but just look. The big box on the new 24s look awful

[gennaroscotto]

Thanks for the great review i think im going with stage 1 on my 23 road glide thanks again

[ardilesro]

Hey Sean, Love this video mate. New to Harley's here
I have a 2023 Ultra limited stage 1 with vance & Hines power duals headers and Rinehart's DBX 45 mufflers, but I feel that they are not loud as what they claim to be. Will a stage 2 make a difference in sound
