I put a power cam in my 2018 FLTRU, have about 50,000 kms on it. As mine is a long distance cruiser I don't do block to block quick starts. Only differences between the 2 is the power cam makes more hp at higher rpm's. Mine now redlines at 6400rpm. The power cam comes on big time after 3500 rpm.....right up to 6400rpm. The power cam good for city and short rides, quick starts. But big difference to stock cam, unbelievable!
Got me the stage 2 torque can also. Love the pull 💯
I'm glad they fixed the noise for you and let us know how you like that cam. Enjoy the new power!!
Will do man, I'll do a review vid. I cnt wait to test out the new cam 🤙🤙🤙
Its good they fixed the problem,but they should have noticed that before they even gave the bike back to you. It's almost like they didn't run it after they finished the job.
Yeah man that's exactly right. They couldnt have missed that noise when they fired it up.
when I rang harley I was told they just got the bike put back together 30 mins before knock off. I'd say they rushed it out the door hey.
That being said thankfully they werent difficult and they came and got it off me the next day.
Arching definitely causes ticking noises like that. Coming from a Ford technician - we hear noises like that from bad plug or coil boots. It can be mistaken for something else on dual plug setups because it won't cause a misfire.
Try a set of the mirrored lamps for an even darker look to the lenses. glad they sorted out the noise for you.
I just ordered screaming eagle stage 2 with power cam they suggested it on the 114 because it keeps power up top and still have that torque as well.
I usually ride in the low to mid range, which is why the torque cam was suited for me I dnt spend much time at the top end of the rev range. I'd be going well over the speed limit if I did. Either way the power cam would still be a lot of fun
Thats interesting about the difference in cams.
I got my dyna streetbob 103 with Screamin Eagle 255 cam. Not sure which that is, but the bike runs hard even against a 103 Breakout.
I'd be curious to know how much torque and hp that 255 cam bumps the 103 up to.
Great vid mate. Look forward to your thoughts on the cam, after some saddle time.
Thanks mate, I cant wait to get the bike back and test out the cam 👍
The editing is freaken awesome 😎
Thanks brother, appreciate it 🤙
No worry’s
Just keep up the awesome videos bro !
Been binge watching all ur videos
Wouldn’t your exhaust void your H-D warranty?
It really depends on your individual dealership. My dealership is very lenient with aftermarket mods.
Before this bike I had a softail slim S with an aftermarket freedom Radical radius full exhaust and an arlen ness air cleaner. My engine grenaded and the dealership still held up the warranty even with these mods.
I may have missed it but what is the lift and grind of your new cam?
Nice video...I just had the torque cam installed in my 2019 Heritage 114, and I agree with you on your reasons. It makes a world of difference. Thanks for the video. Liked and subbed!
Thanks for following mate, appreciate the support. 114 with a torque cam would be an absolute beast 👍
Awesome bro next year I’m going to get the power cam for mine
Any update on the noise now?
Yeah mate at the end of the vid I say Harley advised me that it was the spark plug cap being loose on the spark plug and the noise I could hear was an electric arcing between the spark plug and cap 👍
@@TheGingybeardMan Gotcha, I heard that part, I meant did the noise ever return a few days later or does everything seem good now.
Thanks for the update, enjoy the cam, I'm running the same one until warranty's up
@@zodiac3362 no man since getting the bike back it's been sweet no loud valve train noise at all 👍
Looking forward to the review of the torque cam. I'm not that concerned with numbers. Throttle response and low to mid range torque equals 😀
Agreed mate, personally I didn't buy a harley for top end speed but each to their own. I prefer the bike to have more bottom end torque 👌👌
What bulbs are those? I did the same thing and want to get the amber glow back. Thanks!
I just bought some cheap amber bulbs off ebay. Type,
softail bulbs on ebay and loads will show up. Just compare the style to the ones currently on your bike. They should be bayonet style globes👍
$1380 seems a good price? Iv'e been quoted $2010 but also this included high volume oil pump. and Dyno. Apparently, they can get quite hot? I'll quiz them on price tomorrow.
I had mentioned in a post that I thought those roads looked like Hay, Wagga. .. Mmm hills, more like North NSW or South QLD?
Yup! Kangaroos and Wambats can mess the paintwork a tad!
Mate where can we buy that riding vest that you wear in the vid? Great content mate keep it coming!
Thanks mate, here's a link to the vest I have. www.ridersline.com.au/shop/men/mens-motorcycle-vests/speed-and-strength-tough-as-nails-vest.html?gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImfzp1Zzs_wIVrpJmAh3ergO-EAQYGiABEgJA0PD_BwE
@@TheGingybeardMan thanks legend 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Did you look into the Zippers / Red Shift 468 cam at all?
As I said man I only went with the screaming eagle cam cause its covered under Harley warranty if anything fails in the engine.
@@TheGingybeardMan How much warranty do you have left?
The SE cams are proven to not really perform at all due to being made to EPA etc type restrictions
@@not_a_street_bob I've got another 2 and a bit yrs of warranty on it. No doubt there are better performing cams but I've still heard pretty decent reviews on this cam and the upgrade from the stage 1 is definitely noticeable with this cam.
@@TheGingybeardMan Yeah with that much warranty it might be better to stay safe I guess
@@not_a_street_bob no doubt man, better safe than sorry
I really dig all your videos. Keep em coming brahh haha!
Thanks brother, will do 👍
Do you have a part number for the smoked lenses and the orange bulbs? Thanks!!!
Hey Tom I just bought the smoked lenses off ebay
www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-Indicator-Amber-Turn-Signal-Light-Bulb-1156-W-Smoked-Lens-For-Harley-Softail/333277410468?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Ddf92f793fd2e478dbd21d732ddd4de8b%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D333277410468%26itm%3D333277410468%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Ae0da6bed-23f2-11ea-9404-74dbd180ac07%7Cparentrq%3A2892289916f0a489bf88fea6ff9dd516%7Ciid%3A1
I found one of the bulbs the ebay seller sent me was incorrect so I purchased a set off the harley heaven website

Then your heavy ticking is gone now? Hope you had the latest model Oil Pump in you engine on this stage 2 mod, be a shame to be into it and not get the latest version installed.
I no longer have this bike mate. If you go onto my channel you will see more Vids of the bike. The ticking was sorted.
Could you please add another video of the sound close to the engine to see if it picked up any other sound? I just installed the torque cam and everything seems like is running right, but I can hear the “sewing machine” noise a little more after the upgrade, yet it doesn’t sound anything like yours did at the beginning of the video, I had a little ticking noise like before the upgrade just a little louder or noticeable now, I was told that was part of the new m8 engines the “the sewing machine noise” great channel by they been following your videos since before I even bought mine.
Hey mate the ticking noise my bike had was because the mechanic didn't put the spark plug cap all the way onto the spark plug. So the noise which could be heard was an electric arcing sound.
I had a 10 cubic inch softail street bob and the valve train noise was about as loud as the ticking in my video. The Milwaukee 8 engines are no where near as loud as the twin cam 110.
I'll do a vid on what my bike sounds like when I get it back, and you can compare if it sounds similar to yours
Thank you sir, yes I watched the end of the video where you talk about the fix so I went to double check my cables it all seems good, it’s my first Harley so I’m paying extra attention to all nosies and sounds, specially after the cam, I guess the engine noise just got a little more noticeable vs before the cam, I’ll wait for your new review video and hopefully get a better feel for the “engine sound” after your torque cam install, man thanks for the very fast reply! Keep up the mods! And all the detailed videos!
@@Hdrider94 thanks for the support brother 👍 I'd say the bike would have a little more engine noise with a performance cam installed. I'm exactly the same man, this is my 3rd Harley and I'm fanatical with listening out for odd sounds 👍
I bet the road from Forbes to orange would have been a bit rough here and there mate
Sure was mate, really ordinary roads out that way.
Ohhh yeah I live not far from you and had travelled for worknto and from to west Wyalong though Forbes very rough roads in the little work truck
does sound loud
Hey Man, great vids cheers. Just a question, I am getting SE Torque Cam up grade soon (2020 slim), I already have the SE stage 1, slip ons and air cleaner, but the tuner is a Maximus tuning dongle key, Maximus seemingly being industry standard now. I don't have the black box tuner, just the usb dongle. Err I don't even know what my question is! Lest try anyway, The HD dealer I now have access to says they don't have the software to tune the dongle as "no one uses them" WTF. Do you know anything about the Maximuss tuning key dongles? Cheers Bro.
I bought the $720 maximus unit. The unit I have is a black box and not a dongle. I found some info on this website.
hdforums.com.au/Thread/674718/1
One fella says.
Essentially for $400 you’re buying a licence and USB for unlimited tunes on that particular bike. The shop has a master key and equipment to perform the tune itself and has it backed up on your dongle along with OEM parameters to revert back to stock if need be.
If you want to have a play yourself, you need to basically spend double for a stand-alone tuner with cables for DIY adjustments
@@TheGingybeardMan Thanks man appreciate you advice. I have been getting mixed info from different HD Dealers, to clear up the crap probably best if I bite bullet and buy the Black box.
Cool video. I am thinking about installing a SE torque cam on my 20 low rider s. Hopefully mine runs better than what I have now.....
Go for it man you won't regret it. The 2020 low rider S looks so slick 🙌🙌
@@TheGingybeardMan, I am looking like light to light kind of torque. I am sure it won't compared to stage 3 n 4 but anything is better than stock I suppose. I am almost there to pull a trigger.
@@paulson9616 it's definantly noticeable from stock mate, loads of fun. I find it hard taking it easy on the bike now 🤣🤣
@@TheGingybeardMan thank you for the reply. BTW, I an taking your instruction DIY on oil cooler grill cover. Bought the materials at local hardware store n it lookin like wknd project.
@@paulson9616 good stuff brother, super easy mod and provides good protection for the oil cooler 👍
Also please let us know what that ticking noise was
Hey Mike Harley said they didnt put the front right spark plug cap back on the spark plug properly. They said the ticking noise was the spark plug cap arcing on the top of the plug.
They said it wasnt any issue with the adjustable pushrods and was a very simple fix 👍
@@TheGingybeardMan good deal man. Glad to hear it!! Have a good one from Kansas city mo!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the cam!!
Does anything other than screaming eagle cams void your warranty??
Harley only cover parts they manufacture hence the screaming eagle parts
Are you still happy with the torque cam?
Do you think it would help the 114? I've heard that the 107 has alittle more down low than the 114 so I think the torque cam and a tune is exactly what the 114 needs but just wanted your thoughts. Take care bro
Yeha man im still stoked with the torque cam. Definantly recommend it. The 114 would be even more of a beast with one 👍
My Harley dealer recommended me power cam because Carrie’s the power all the way to the top. But guess it’s what type of riding you do. I get on throttle and ride it pretty quickly so power cam will benefit me more
Good on ya m8 , keep us up on what happen after you get your ride back .
Hay man harley said it was a simple fix just being the spark cap plug being loose on top of the spark plug and the ticking noise was an electric current arcing
As soon as I heard that ticking, it thought plug lead. Hopefully that’s all it was.
I had the torque cam fitted here in the UK . They wouldn't fit the ajustable push rods too much trouble , fitted cam with the standard push rods dyno jet power map , bike fast as fook can't fault ! no top end noise.
Even with adjustable push rods their should be no difference in valve train noise.
I would have preferred the standard pushrods being used as there is no room for error but the reason why they didnt reuse the standard ones is because it's much quicker for them to cut the standard pushrods out and put the adjustable ones in without having to take off the rocker covers and rocker assembly to reinstall the pushrods after putting in the new cam.
Thankfully Harley
Amazing content Gingy!
Its not very impressive that the stage 1 actually peaks the torque in the lower range compared to stage 2. I wish the green torque curve (stage 2 TQ) was above the stage 1 on the entire rpm range.
You must live near me dude. I swore I recognised a truck you drove past in this video then you pulled in at western ranges! I’d love to know if you think at 6 foot 2, would the street bob be ok for me with forward controls? Loving the videos! Can’t wait to get off my P’s so I can buy one of these!
I've heard of a heap of tall blokes over 6 foot who reckon mid controls are perfectly fine. I personally hated em as my legs would cramp on long rides. I think you would be pretty sweet though if you ran forwards on a street bob 👍
I remember the feeling, years ago I couldn't wait to get off my P's. How long do you have to go and what are you currently riding?
The Gingybeard Man riding a XVS650 Yamaha custom. And gotta wait till March next year....
@@AnarchistBogan nice man, they're a cool bike 👍
What's your exhaust?
Two brothers racing 2 into 1 exhaust
@@TheGingybeardMan great, thanks. I'm getting Fat Bob in June and I wish I could buy OEM style, twin can full flow exhaust, sounding like yours... 🥺
My dealer recommended a power cam as the bike(And me) are light weight….!?!
Depends what kind of riding you do? Power cam is more suited for the top end rev range and torque cam is more suited for low to mid end rev range.
What vest are you wearing? Is that leather and denim/textile? Looks nice.
Thanks mate, the top portion is leather and bottom is waxed cotton. Here's a link www.ridersline.com.au/shop/men/mens-motorcycle-vests/speed-and-strength-tough-as-nails-vest.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI04uVqsS77gIVlHZgCh0aKwoAEAQYDyABEgJ4AfD_BwE
@@TheGingybeardMan thanks brother! I’ve been looking for a nice vest, I have a denim vest that I really like but I’ve been thinking about getting a leather one for colder weather riding, the leather blocks more wind and cold than the denim and that waxed part of the vest you have probably functions the same. I also slapped on my new exhaust, I got the TBR comp-s because the Turnout is on back order until late Feb early March, so I think when they come back in stock I’ll buy it and sell this one. I also think I can just swap the cans and leave the headers, but I’ll have to get confirmation on that, but that Turnout is BADASS!
Also, dude, if you need anything from the US that you can’t get in Australia just hit me up, I’d be willing to ship it to you because I may be able to ship stuff cheaper and get things you can’t. If that interests you just reach out and I’ll see what I can do. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Hey bro how much have you dumped on your bike now? Including the torque cam.
Looking at 2015-2017 dyna but took the 2019 for a test ride the other day and it feels pretty sweet.
Nice set up love the club style, love your set up!
Nice work, ride safe 🤘
Ohhhh mate I'd hate to think how much I've spent on it 🤣🤣🤣...... too much probably.
I may have to do a vid of all the mods one day and tally up how much I've spent.
In saying that no matter what Harley I would have bought I always like to mod em and change em up from stock. I find half the fun in owning a bike is making it your own 👍
Great vid thanks 👍🍺
Thanks mate 👍
Well i hope you will be happy with your cam job other wise you might trade up again.
Heres to hoping my indecisive self will be happy with it 🤞😂😂
@@TheGingybeardMan Ah you will love it who wouldn't .
Nice vid mate looking forward to the ride/review on the cam, 😊👍🤙🤙🇳🇿🇳🇿
Thanks bro, I cant wait to test it out hey 👌👌👌
That tapping isn’t normal. I had try he same upgrade, without the noise. Take it back
It was fixed the next day man, I've done loads of vids on the bike on my channel since. It was an easy fix, as the spark plug lead was loose on the plug
You may want to wear gloves riding the smaller softails are particularly vibratory. Harley engineered some vibration into all (?) their bikes 🏍️ the smaller ones give you even more.
And you learn more about your bike so that’s cool too.
You gotta at least upgrade to the 2 finger game my dude!
Good video but I hate seeing people ride with no gloves. First thing to touch down if you bin it and id much rather have hands with skin on them 😂
I know, I know, its a terrible habit man.
So basically no review. Thanks.
Read the title mate, it says why I chose the torque cam. I did a review video on my channel. Cheers
