Default Stage 3 Completed

As the weather started to turn here, I decided to get the Stage 3 completed. As I had rode the Stage 1 since I bought the 2017 FLHXS.

I am pretty sure the smile on my face has been frozen in on my ride back to the office with my bike. Even as they rolled it out, it sounded better. I was told the Service Tech was able to squeeze a lot out of the tune as they were getting more dialed in on the M8's and the parameters of the tuning.

Of course, I will say it does not sound like a Harley Pre 2017 with this big of a build....but is does sound good!





Stage III - 2017 FLHXS - Yeah Baby!

Right on! Im getting the same build on my RGS when it arrives from the factory this week. I spent a lot of time with the tech at my dealer, were both excited about this kit.
Good Times!

How cool. Good for you, man!

They're doing a stage 1 on my new RGU right now. Can't imagine a 3

sweet thanks for posting those numbers. I got the stage 3 on my bike, but didn't have any idea what the numbers were. I love it.

Very impressive numbers! Thanks for posting. I'm taking a hard look at doing the same thing to my 114. If you don't mind, keep posting your impressions as you get familiar with the new build, and perhaps more info regarding your comment about the sound.

Cheers and congrats!

Do you have your SAE dyno performance? It will make it easier to compare to others since STD is usually much harder higher.

I did not get an SAE version. All the versions I have ever recieved from this HD SHOP are always run in STD.

Is it correct that the difference between STD and SAE is the condition corrections the measurements are benchmarked from. This correction yields a result of about 4% difference between STD and SAE (on average) of measured Torque.

I certainly did not pull that out of my ***...I looked it up. I have not noticed if most utilize the SAE correction method vs STD. Is that the standard that is to be used? I will certainly ask for a copy in an SAE method if they can print it in that version.
