Sport Glide mods

As with many on here the handling of the SPG hooked me but most of my trips are less than 10 miles. I love the Street/Road Glides for their comfort and look though. So slowly converting my SpG into a Faux Street Glide by upgrading to better bags and Memphis Shades fairing (once I figure out how to relocate my signals).
Unless you enjoy lots of wind, buffering, and moderately comfy ride, I would personally go with a touring model for long commutes.

Got myself Slipstreamer screen, got it on but haven't done any long riding since... when I went on a short ride I feel like I felt MORE buffeting at 60mph. I'm waiting for my lowers to get in and see if that'll help.

Performance mods
Hey here is my dyno chart for the following mods if anyone is interested in performance, most are just after bling from my observations.
Stage 1 was installed when I picked it up, Screaming Eagle big breather and slip on.
Stage 2 was TBR 2 into 1, S&S 475 Cam and a Power Vision tuner

Most would call the 475 a horsepower cam not that it has a bad torque curve with a good 2-1. jtodd you reference yourself as a newb. One thing to consider is that the PV & 475 cam voids warranty and the TBR is likely not emissions or sound compliant. A deal breaker for some with a new bike not so much for others. FWIW my own bike with Harley tuner, SE-498 cam and S&S 50 state legal 2-1 exhaust retains full warranty meets emissions & sound compliance. It also sounds great and made 116 HP. This is not to knock NAC72's choice only to say that these are things that should also be mentioned and considered.

I knew I had seen your posts before lol its because we both have Sport Glides. Yea I wanted the sound change and more power for better acceleration. But did not want a horsepower bias cam like the stage 4 that requires a change in riding style to take advantage of it. Peak torque is roughly 3k on the stock cam 3,500 on the stage 3 cam and 5,000 on a stage 4 IE too high for the way I normally ride. I also did a 30/70 gearing change that very noticeably helped acceleration but may be beyond the scope of what you want to do. If your bike will be 24 months old before you do a tune & cam swap I would go with something aftermarket for both the tuner and cam. Your windshield swap may where we were on the same posts as I have posted that I put the Gustafsson 15" windshield on my Sport Glide fairing and have been pleased with it.
