Typically about 2300 -2600 is a sweet spot I like to sit in. I don't generally take it much past 4500 rpm even when I'm being moderately aggressive. 3000-4500 to overtake if I'm gunning it. It'd be very rare to go up to 5000 for me. It's a push rod bike - I don't like thrashing it that much.

Reinhart 2 into 1, Stock Bars, 4" pullback risers and a Saddlemen Renegade LS Seat. Thanks mate.

@@aussiemotolife347 Thank you so much - super helpful! Have subscribed 🙂

I'm still getting about 5.25L/100km which is no different to stock - I think the milage is dependent on how it's tuned because I'm by no means easy on the throttle - although I don't do a lot of city riding in heavy traffic.

Incidentally I kept a spreadsheet of my economy and that would be an average of about 10 fill ups so it's very accurate.

A Warren & Brown 1/4" 1-25Nm Deflecting Beam Torque Wrench - 320510. Copy and paste that into google and you'll find it.

It was for sure. If you never done it you should give it a go at least once in your life!

At legal speeds it’s really not that slow anymore. The rear wheel will slip come out of a corner when you put the power down. This is my first Harley and I still have a Triumph street Triple RS 765 and have had a BMW k1300s and many other Sports Bikes. The Harley is a cruiser - not a canyon carver but it’s still no slouch - it has enormous torque even if it’s stupidly heavy.

@@aussiemotolife347 Same here, I still have the S1000RR but the Harley is for long distances. Now that you have given the results of that cam (and supporting mods) and compared yours to others, you are making me look into the same setup. Thanks for the info, keep it shiny side up!

@@jasonisdn For a little while I thought about the S1000RR (although I have the lego version haha). Beautiful bike and goes like a rocket. Maybe in five years or so when I go to replace the STRS765 - although that’s already more than I need on the road 🙂 Shiny side up!

It was a riot Moz! I'm still on a high from it days later!

I’ve been in a great mood all day after last night! Hey did you like your drag race footage with Chewie and the burnout! 😁😎

@@aussiemotolife347 looked good mate. Thanks for filming it.

@@RoadsOfOz I loved it - it was a perfect end to the night!

I think I used it a bit more later on - I don't know in the heat of the moment. :-) Did you see your drag race with Matt?

@@aussiemotolife347 Fair enough. Yeah I did. Great footage. Great fun.

@@hachewie it was mate - I’ve been over the moon all day today thinking about what a great time I had.

Yes a huge difference and I certainly think it rides like a different bike. Whether I truly trust the HP figures on the Dyno is another matter. On the surface of things it seems too high but I can see the CF adjustment factor on the dyno chart which isn't overinflated for the temperature and I have seen someone else's bike in a different state with similar numbers at a different dyno facility. S&S doesn't quote anything like that HP for this cam though - so confused about it.

I wasn't quite sure whether to make this vid. In reality it's just bolting a bit of angle onto a certain type of wheel chock. However I have seen a few very similar cheap and heavy ones on the market because obviously it's still Chinese probably. When I compared it to the top of the range USD300 ones I thought well there's hardly any difference and I did it for about a total of AUD 100 - so USD 70 or something... So I don't know, some people might find it a useful video if they haven't thought of doing it.

I completely agree, I have a 2021 Sportglide with a Star Racing 30 / 30 cam and a long 2 into 1 exhaust, dyno tuned with a Powervision tuner, 120 hp is a high number and 102 with stage 1 is impossible to believe, how would you jump 20 HP with an exhaust and new A / C?

G'day David - I haven't had any problem with oil in the air filter and I have been watching for it. I've done about 5000kms however only maybe 500 with the new cam. Mine is a 2022 model and I know the later models (post 2020?) had a different oil pump. I think they changed the bias on the oil pump scavenging to 50:50 from the cam cover to the crankcase vs 60:40 in the older pump. Don't quote me on that - that's just from memory. Re: the cam I'm very happy with and it pulls hard - but it's very useable power and is still a pleasure to ride right through the rev range. I can't say the same for the tune I had on my Stage 1 setup - pretty sure that was all because of poor tuning.

@@aussiemotolife347 Hi, thanks for the quick reply, my bike is a 2018 but when the new cam was fitted I also had the latest oil pump upgrade. Maybe I didn't need to worry about the crank pressure ! Now I want to get it on a Dyno !

@@davidgilding3549 if you do get it Dyno tuned I’d be fascinated to know what your figures are. I think perhaps my longish 2-1 exhaust helps a bit though.

Stage 1 figures are the first pass of the dyno chart. I was pretty sceptical myself. I have actuall found another person with similar figures withe the same cam at a different dyno facility in a different state so make of that what you will. I can see their adjust figure on the dyno chart and it seems reasonable ie. for the temperature on the day. What did I have at stage 1… a Rinehart 2 into 1, a maximus tuner and an Arlen Ness Drift inverted air filter… I can tell you that the bike really is a different animal now and a real pleasure to ride right through to about 4750 rpm where I normally call it quits out of mechanical sympathy. It is a push rod engine after all.

Thank you! I sometimes pop down to the garage just for a look :-)

@@aussiemotolife347 mate I can't blame you for that lol👍 just enjoy

No additional heat. I just worked out my economy for the full tank since I did it and it was 5.35L/100km vs 5.25L/100km @ stage 1. So the economy hasn't seemingly changed much which I think is good. I'll monitor the next tank as well. I mostly wanted to see if it was running very lean or rich.

@@aussiemotolife347 very nice👍 👍

lol :-) in the other video with the disc I had my shorts, socks and hush puppy slippers - very fetching workshop attire!

@@aussiemotolife347 the perfect outfit for any occasion.

Thanks Stef! I've since had plenty of time to assess whether I think it was worth it and it definitely was imo. The brakes feel far less wooden - much better feel and sensitivity at the brake lever.

@@aussiemotolife347 that’s a great result. Pad compound can also make a big difference to the feel.

I have the dyno sheet from another guy who his tuned at a different tuning facility in a different state that also had the same figures and the same cam. A slightly different curve because obviously he had a different 2 into 1 muffler. Make of that what you will... I was a little sceptical myself initially but that did give me pause... I was discussing that issue with a guy on the Australia/NZ Sport Glide forum on Facebook and he showed me his dyno sheet. Re: the tune for life thing... in theory I agree with you but when you think about it the stock tune doesn't change but the ECU adapts a little I believe.

Well then you got the correct tune miles and smiles now buddy

It is an awful lot better than when it was stock. I've never ridden a touring model but yeah it's 90kg or so lighter so it has to make quite a difference.

Thanks Sean! On a 107 some people find the 475 a little wanting when you overtake at highway speeds without dropping down a gear. The 465 makes most of its power from 2500 onwards and the 475 comes on later. Mostly I want the power where I mostly use it. The power from the 465 is still better at every point after 2500 anyway if you look at the torque curve. Also cams with more aggressive lobes are harder on the engine in terms of longevity and the 465 isn’t supposed to be too bad for the engine in terms of idle sound I think it still sounds great.

Merry Christmas to you and yours too Sean! It’s what we call Boxing Day here - the day after Christmas. We are ahead of you guys due to the timezones.

@Aussie Moto Life hope you had a great Christmas with the family!!!! Awesome explanation! I was thinking about doing the cam and I heard the guy from S&S talk about the 465 being his favorite for the exact reasons you gave. You and I have similar riding styles I think so I would get the 465 for sure. Now I just need to decide whether I take it to someone or whether I'm foolish enough to try it myself...haha... all the best in the New Year!

Merry Christmas Sean - was boxing day here too. A public holiday. Canada and Australia have a lot in common. Basically we are hot Canada here.

I think you’ll love it - I like the whole vibe of the engine too now too. I can’t quite tell how much the tune fixed the bike and how much is the cam… If you can try and get it properly tuned rather than relying on the dealers “near enough good enough” tune with no dyno.

Absolutely Matt - it pulls and sounds so much nicer. I’m not sure how much the proper tune helped and how much is the cam It’s all far more linear now and it makes the bike more manageable because it was so sensitive at the get go before it would shoot you across the road if you weren’t careful… then it was a bit gutless in the mid range… so just badly throttle mapped. Now I’m very happy - so a nice Chrissy present.

I was really enjoying the extra oomph and the gratuitous noise… Thanks for watching Randy - I was AWOL for a while. I thought I’d stop doing vids but I guess I’ll do a few from time to time.

Thanks Tim! - Merry Christmas to you and yours too Tim ☺

I definitely used 02-972 - I still have the picture Roger Felgner who makes the adapter sent me with the label and that's what I ordered. The important thing is the disc size because you are only using the disc. You don't use the adapter that Arlen Ness gives you at all because they are only for normal forks and ours are inverted forks. So if you could ascertain that the disc in the 02-973 is the same as 02-972 in every respect it would make no difference which one you use.

@@aussiemotolife347 brilliant. Actually I was trying to work out what the difference was between any of the disc options as they all look much the same. Like you say it has to be the bracket. The adaptor is on order from Roger but think it's going to be some time coming. Not in any rush though. Much thanks.

I thought it was pretty alright - thanks Aussie Wantok!

@@aussiemotolife347 mate, our logos and chanel names... hahaha Good on you man, ride safe

Thanks for watching Sean... actually I did a vid recently with the sound of the new pipes on my Sport Glide - you might like that one since you have the same bike! Mind you I only recorded it via the lapel mic in my helmet. Some day I should try and record it with my proper microphones since I'm a muso and have the gear....

@@aussiemotolife347 I have that in my cue to watch this morning while doing the dishes, there's another ride video I missed as well. Long weekend here this passed weekend so I need to catch up..haha...and yes I'll sub to your music TH-cam as well!

I guess they aren't truly track tyres - they are street legal... Maybe track ready would be a better description of them. They are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP v3's. They still made me nervous on the gravel because they've done nearly 5000 km's now and are getting pretty worn. The back seemed to be spinning on the dirt and of course it was squirming around. I stayed well away from the front brake lol

Thanks for watching Rob!

These guys are in my social riding club - they all come from around my local government area ie. the Sutherland Shire. So that's why we have different bikes - you just have to "live around here" ☺I'm lucky because I have a foot in both camps - A HD Softail Sport Glide and a Naked Sport Bike - the Street Triple RS 765. I love them both and they both bring different things to the table.

@@aussiemotolife347 yup 👍 Ninja Dyna Road king 👑 🤣

Hi UNR! thanks mate! - yep pretty happy with the mic - it did better than I expected. Clearer than my Purple Panda so far!

Thanks KG - it’s just a wired version that goes directly into a GoPro media mod TRS socket. It doesn’t need a TRRS to TRS adapter like the Purple Panda though. I did have a really great time the weather was really nice too.

Had I known I would have loved to have seen you!

It was So green and beautiful - I was so happy to be alive with the nice weather and out enjoying it all! Thanks heaps for watching Rochelle!
