Just wanted to pop in to say....This vid was one of the 2 things that inspired me to want a Streetbob with a 131 motor. And now that I have one, I LOVE IT! And by coincidence, I even have the same exhaust, and it's awesome.
I bought the 2019 Street Bob in February. I am very pleased with the way it rides. Everything is still stock and the bike runs like a champ. I agree that the seat isn’t the best. The bike seems to be very nimble and tears through the gears. Great review of the stage four.
My husband has a 2020 Street Bob with Basanni Radial Sweepers. Our grandson would be riding it now but he joined the Marines. Is in San Diego for basic training. The Few The Proud!
I don't know of any other subscribers are having an issue with your Channel, but I had to look you up because I haven't seen the video from you for a while. Now I got to binge-watch like the last month
Thanks for the time you put in on these vidjos 😂. I really appreciate all the content of your channel, especially the engine builds. It helps sift through all the numbers. Great to see your channel evolving, getting smoother every day. Keep up the great work 👍🏻.
Cool video. I did a stage 2 on my 114 2018 softail - and yes it gives you 100% of the power instantly, in any gear at any speed. Ear to ear grins. 80 to 100, or zero to stupid, right-freakin'-now. Love it! Highly recommended.
I'm a porter at district Harley in Maryland, and I PDI miles on a that same street Bob , and mannnnn, does the throttle push you beyond the seat! Needs a new seat for sure! Stage four, I can't imagine ! I rode a Sportster all my life and converted to a street Bob but I don't own one but man, such a great bike.
I traded in my electra for a streetbob back in 2011. I used the spare cash to fit it out with HD QD racks and sissy bar. I bought the leather bags and converted them to QD using "barebacks", Kuryakin wheelie bag takes good amount of gear (I removed the wheels and internal rigid box) , kury roll bag mounts on back rack, so I have decent capacity, which all dismounts easily to leave the bike clean. Fitted National Cycles "Gladiator" windshield. , bike is stage 3 , runs sweet, returns between 44-55 mpg- imperial gallons. When running in the stage 3, I got 60 mpg. 8 years on, never looked back, and don't want any other model-its a keeper. Oh-and wheels were changed to magnums. Michelin Scorcher tyres are brilliant.
95 degrees.. Just like Queensland Australia . We both live the same sort of degrees! I’m saving to visit USA 20/20 and ‘ can’t wait ‘ !! Thanks for the clip .
I've rode the stock 2018 street bob and it was a rocket ship stock! I can just imagine stage IV! I've always said if I were to get a second bike it would be a street bob.
I have an old blacked out 00' Deuce with a 95" build with other goodies and im easily passing the 114 tourers. Its a mid range monster. So yes, weight is everything and I only weigh 180lbs.
Nice ride along thanks, learn a lot from your videos and commentary. Your right, power to weight on bike is a big deal. My 96cu Dyna is a quick as some of the bigger HD's.
Wanting to do a stage 4 for my 16 streetbob. First I want to upgrade the brakes and suspension before throwing in more power. Lol. Nice job on that Street Bob. 😎
I recently picked up a 2018 Heritage 117 Stage 4 with that same Bassani exhaust. At 723lbs, its a beast of a bike. Absolutely nuts. Just keep her above 3000RPMs and she screams.
A buddy of mine just picked up one of these & absolutely loves it even in stock form. Now of course I want one, I love my Sportser but this bike is a nice jump up & it surprisingly handles well & it's 100 lbmost of all the torque is addictive.
Hey John. Rode a couple of the Slim 107's. And a couple of 114's. I like the 107 in the Slim. Smooth and plenty of low end takeoff. The 107 would be better for my area. Shame they stopped it in the Fat Bobs.
A VERY impressive bike and I really mean that. I’m a Softail Sport Glide fan-boy but that is very good value for money,personalised, performance bike - top commute,weekend bike with a bit of customisation. A bike you just enjoy riding and would like to hang onto until someone takes my cold ,cold hands off the bars.
I'd definitely go with a Stage III kit looking at those torque curves. Stage IV exeeds Stage III only from above 4,5k rpm. For the price of a massive torque loss below 4,5k rpm.
Dad2dannyjr dude I would HANDS DOWN trade it in if I were you. I’m sorry to say this but it’s FAR and above an upgrade. The motor is one thing, the suspension is on a whole other level. It might as well be a different model all together.
They are all on that tiny lcd screen on the bar riser and are similar to new cars in that they can be cycled through the different modes of readout, rpm, speed, range etc.
At the 5:30 mark the Stage IV (blue) hp line was referenced while the Stage III (purple) line was referenced. I’m surprised the Stage IV setup doesn’t make as much toque as the Stage III considering both kits come with POWER cams. I’m sure it has to do with the cam specs?
Dang... I'm pretty far away from my bike right now but the way this sounded and the way the video was done really made me miss being home to ride my bike. Wont be too much longer now tho and I'll be riding. Cant wait. Good video
Harley Davidson really stepped up their bikes with the 2018 year... I really like the new softail bikes... I will take a street bob in billiard blue please...
If you still have the spring loaded tensioner then change the head to the Cyco pads. if your runout on your crank is under 0.003 the go gear if you can .
ive got a 06 88" fuel injected heritage I didnt have any wear issues at 30,000. but i still upgraded too the hydo tentioner. I also put in the larger oil pump SE203 cams bored out too 95" with KB forged pistons Big Boyz street heads Roland sands air intake and VH propipe SE super tuner . 98Hp 108 TQ. im very happy with it. Runs great around town and screw on the Highway .
So I stopped the video @4.41 to see the cam specs.... rear cylinder grind is different to the front - that is how pans and knucks were in order to stop the rear cylinder overheating = GOOD THING ! ... but question, if the rear inlet opens 6 degrees after TDC how the heck can it have a TDC figure of 0.036 inch when it is meant to be closed John ?????
Buying my first Harley. I have the money for a new street bob to pay cash. Or there’s a 2010 wide glide that’s gorgeous and build to a 103ci with a lot of touches I’d do myself. Basically has the 2010 stage 4 kit equivalent. It’s only $9k. If you could have either which would you choose? The 2010 is almost $7k cheaper than the 2019 out the door.
John Maxwell , I’m riding a ‘19 CVO Street Glide. What is the difference between the stock motor on the bike I currently ride, and the StageIV? My heads are labeled with “Screamin’ Eagle” badging, and I cant really get anyone to tell me the difference in parts kit, and the stock 117ci. Any help is always appreciated, and keep up the great work!
John, I have a 2018 CVO RoadGlide and have also been trying to find this info to no avail, my dealer not much help on this question. I know a few CVO riders that would appreciate any info you share on this....THX
I used to have a 18 CVO street glide and I asked the same question. What I was told is, there is no "stage IV" or etc. upgrades for those CVOs because they already come equipped with the biggest size displacement engine HD has to offer. Meaning, you can buy a stock softail and get it to a "stage IV" to basically get up to par to the CVOs stock.
IM Following this as I have a stage 3 on my 2018 Fat bob 117 but have recently bought a 117 cvo set up for my fat bob so just looking to change the heads, throttle body and cam out so = stage 4, so was wondering the same thing is it classed the same as a stage 4 with CVO parts and are the screaming eagle heads forted on a CVO to a good level?
In response to not wanting bags. My best friend has a stage 1 '19 street bob in the same color as your riding and he custom fabbed military ammo cans as his saddle bags. Just an idea.
Love this video. Going to pickup my brand new 2020 street bob in a month, stage 2 kit, saddlemen seat step up. Jerkyll and Hyde 3 sound exhaust. It is going to be a blast 😎🤘🏻😍. Really enjoying your videos John 💯
Was thought about doing the same thing to mine 18 street Bob But I'm happy with the stage one with a ss mufflers removed the tank emblems and usb undertank happy with it ride it more then my 19 roadking lol
You read the charts wrong. The purple line is the torque for the Stage 3. It apparently has the "torque" cam that makes more power at the lower end of the rpms (see purple power graph). The light blue Stage 4 torque peaks at ~5k rpm because the engine makes much more power at higher rpms. You've not even begun to feel what you've done to this thing. At the rpms your riding it, it's barely making more power than stock.
I test rode a Street Bob and 114 Fat Boy back to back and I found the stock Street Bob so cramped,less than 200 yards on the bike the seating/foot position were causing me pain. Would love to try one with forwards on to see if this helps as the 107 Street Bob was as quick as the 114 Fat Boy.
I really like the sound of this Street Bob. I have the 107 M8 Street Bob. I'd like to have you do this upgrade on my Harley. Is this possible for my 107?
Love the bike except I need the Tack and Speedo up high and the old analog style so I can read it in bright sunlight. Does Harley make this with a bright engine and trans ( no black coating )? I would like a new Harley but I don't want black period.
John you ever messed with the FXDR 114. I'm wondering can you keep the stock air breather housing and just add the Extrem Flow filter to it, or would you have to change everything out. I like the stick breather box on it.
I have the 2018 fxbb with just a stage one an the same new wheels yes the stock breaks suck and there isn't a whole lot of options yet to improve breaking
I haven't looked into brakes yet, most times people don't actually list them as working anyway. This is one area that performance minded facebook groups or the forums can really help out. Lots of people put the brembo touring calipers on other models, but HD isn't advertising that they fit. most folks on the forums when they figure out something that works, have no problem listing out parts used!
John & readers - Not sure if you are still watching comments from this post. I just picked up a 2019 Street Bob. Was a wreck, rebuilding it. It has the Bassani 2-into-1; anyone find a way to tame the loud exhaust sound? I'm having a tough time finding options for it, and the family/neighbors are getting annoyed with the sound. Thoughts?
Is it me or does it seem like the handle bars are slightly twisted to the right? Mine came from the dealer like that also and they told me they couldn’t fix it.
How different is the cooling on the 107 with the Stage 4 as opposed to the 114? Do the heads still get liquid-cooled? My DWG is in the shop getting a new engine. My backup Superlow 883 is in the shop getting a new belt. So they let me do an "extended demo" on the Fat Boy 114 cause they don't do "loaners". Changing the name makes all the difference. I don't love the Fat Boy but I can appreciate that 114. It's got accel for days. The stock exhaust is deep and throaty without being overly loud. Just about right. And I think the 114 seems to definitely run cooler than my 103. Right now, I don't see myself buying another Harley. The WG is what drew me in and none of the rest really "move" my soul. Now.. if the MoCo would produce a softtail WG with the 114, I don't think I'd have much choice in the matter. It'd be like a moth to a flame.
to make good power on a pushrod 45 degree v twin and still pass emissions, you are having a laugh, consider yourself lucky you can still buy this aftermarket.
Buckeye harley in ohio stage 2 with work included is 3800 bucks and the stage 3 is 6800 bucks. Stage 2 they are charging for 11 hours of work and the stage 3 is 22. Ridiculous
Looks sweet. I really hope the Moco puts out a "performance" version similar to the FXDXT. 114/117 (I actually prefer a Stage III build for street) dual front disc, better rear caliper, hell maybe even an inverted fork... I think a middle weight performance touring bike built on that softail platform would sell. The void in the market is there and people are already building them in the aftermarket. Hell, I might even part with my FXDLS for such a machine.
The one cap tank seems cheap...softail seems to make things cheaper for Harley to transfer for one or another model aka modularity. Idk like Harley but seem to be cutting corners without asking what people want...
I really like that bike man, that's so close to what I'd do in pretty much every way! Thanks so much for sharing it. It's only a matter of time until I get a new softail!
I like the wheels, but I like the graphite version better. Too bad they don't offer it for the Street Bob. I would have to opt for the stage 3 since it offers more power and torque in the rpm that I ride. Do they offer tank lifts for this bike yet?
John I enjoy the videos I have a 2010 Softail classic heritage and I am wanting to get a tuner and not sure what to get can you give me any insight I am going to have Rinehart 2into 1 and bigger air intake and do camshafts in the near future.
Just bought myself a new Street Bob damn 14k is okay but My God with all those extras and harley work prices I almost spent 22k in total. Only thing I don't like about the fxbb is the small digital speedometer.
Great looking bike. your comment about how much weight baggers are is huge. you can do all this and still have to overcome that weight. power to weight is always there. funny how we as Harley owners say it is not about the speed and what do we do - add these stage kits to get speed. lol. face it we like the speed and torque. to me it is all about torque. i never get above 4k in rpm so that hp figure is not for me. i would definitely go with a torque cam. i got another year on my 2018 heritage warranty and will switch to a different tuner than. i use fp3 on my sportsters but not sure if is should stay with that on the new bike. we shall see. would be nice to know what you think of all these different tuners. good job man.
I have a 2009 Fat Bob, went with the 96 to 103 stage 4, 12.5:1 compression, Dynojet power vision and target tune, bike is very fast and has gobs of torque.however didn't even think of over heating, so added a fan cooled oil cooler which made it not heat up as fast, but I was going to get one of those love Juggs mighty mite fans, do you think will help?? While running and at speed its around 220, however with traffic it cam reach 290! Now this is the temp I'm getting from the dynojet, so not sure how accurate the temp is, but has gotten so hot its burned off a quart in about 300 miles! Do you think the mighty mite fans will work help cool it down enough? Only thing stock of the engine case basically, the motor runs great, just gets hot quickly and don't want to richen it up, because its already eating up the gas pretty good.P.S. if you know of anyone with a good rune for the 96 to a 103 big bore kit, stage 4, would be excellent! I don't have a dyno, but don't really need one, would be nice to have but the dynojet pretty much tunes itself, just have to put in a base map..I have a map for a 2011 103, but not sure if it deals with the compression...anyways, any ideas on how to cool this bad boy down a bit??

Lol. That’s my truck at 12:46. I thought you were giving me a thumbs up so I gave you one back.

No way. Yes way.
I bought the 2019 Street Bob in February. I am very pleased with the way it rides. Everything is still stock and the bike runs like a champ. I agree that the seat isn’t the best. The bike seems to be very nimble and tears through the gears. Great review of the stage four.

Great channel. I just joined bought a used Harley this past week an ive learned alot from watching these videos.
I've rode the stock 2018 street bob and it was a rocket ship stock! I can just imagine stage IV! I've always said if I were to get a second bike it would be a street bob.
Probably the best audio I've heard on a bike test. I could actually hear and understand what the speaker was saying.

This looks nearly identical to the 2022 Street Bob (with a 114). Excellent foreshadowing right there.
I’m in love with that bike. I just took it out the other day and I’m ready to upgrade! Don’t know if I’ll ever be ready for a windshield or fairing
You were having way to much fun with this Bob ... great video, fully enjoyed the grin we couldn't see on your mug. Cheers
yeah I have a stage 4 on my fatboy. ( to 103. it's a 07) its insane and completely unnecessary. I love it

They are all on that tiny lcd screen on the bar riser and are similar to new cars in that they can be cycled through the different modes of readout, rpm, speed, range etc.

Id like to see a vid on this bike when you can open it up. Impressed by the aesthetics and performance of a bike I thought I would not like.
Can you do a TC88 video. Specifically talking about cam chain tensioners?
If you still have the spring loaded tensioner then change the head to the Cyco pads.
if your runout on your crank is under 0.003 the go gear if you can .
S&S 510G is perfect for a stock TC88,

All hail the Harley gods, they released the street bob with the 114ci from the factory this year.

What I don't understand is my 114 stage 2 Breakout is putting 116/127 to the ground but yet your 114 stage 4 is only 120/120 so what gives?
These bikes are a blast even stock. The stock seat is horrible though.

What a fun video! Would like to see more of the cool stuff people do with their bikes or things that showcase the joy of Harley Davidson.
Love the bike except I need the Tack and Speedo up high and the old analog style so I can read it in bright sunlight. Does Harley make this with a bright engine and trans ( no black coating )? I would like a new Harley but I don't want black period.
Yea I don't generally go past 4k rpms very often 2-4 thousand rpm seems to be the sweet spot...
Noises are bad, SOUNDS ARE COOL! Love it
Love this bike, just got my 2020. What type of sissy bar is that and foot pegs. Thanks
John you ever messed with the FXDR 114. I'm wondering can you keep the stock air breather housing and just add the Extrem Flow filter to it, or would you have to change everything out. I like the stick breather box on it.
Boy, my dreambike at this moment, great Vlog, thank you!
I have the 2018 fxbb with just a stage one an the same new wheels yes the stock breaks suck and there isn't a whole lot of options yet to improve breaking
I haven't looked into brakes yet, most times people don't actually list them as working anyway. This is one area that performance minded facebook groups or the forums can really help out. Lots of people put the brembo touring calipers on other models, but HD isn't advertising that they fit. most folks on the forums when they figure out something that works, have no problem listing out parts used!
@@TheHarleyTech Thanks for the information I greatly appreciate it you taking time to help
How much does each stage normally effect the bikes mpg?
John & readers - Not sure if you are still watching comments from this post. I just picked up a 2019 Street Bob. Was a wreck, rebuilding it. It has the Bassani 2-into-1; anyone find a way to tame the loud exhaust sound? I'm having a tough time finding options for it, and the family/neighbors are getting annoyed with the sound. Thoughts?
Hi John, would it make sense just going with 107 engine going with a stage 4 kit, 117ci,then buying a 114. Economical
Is it me or does it seem like the handle bars are slightly twisted to the right? Mine came from the dealer like that also and they told me they couldn’t fix it.
How much for overall total upgrade cost street bob 2019 stage IV ?
How different is the cooling on the 107 with the Stage 4 as opposed to the 114? Do the heads still get liquid-cooled? My DWG is in the shop getting a new engine. My backup Superlow 883 is in the shop getting a new belt. So they let me do an "extended demo" on the Fat Boy 114 cause they don't do "loaners". Changing the name makes all the difference. I don't love the Fat Boy but I can appreciate that 114. It's got accel for days. The stock exhaust is deep and throaty without being overly loud. Just about right. And I think the 114 seems to definitely run cooler than my 103. Right now, I don't see myself buying another Harley. The WG is what drew me in and none of the rest really "move" my soul. Now.. if the MoCo would produce a softtail WG with the 114, I don't think I'd have much choice in the matter. It'd be like a moth to a flame.
Harley with stage 4 but still single disc front end. Either absolutely gutless or simply just will not stop when you want it to.
Makes me miss my fat Bob 103 . What can I do to my RK 110 without voiding my warranty ? God Bless
What Harley’s cost, stage 4 should be standard or offered from factory.
to make good power on a pushrod 45 degree v twin and still pass emissions, you are having a laugh, consider yourself lucky you can still buy this aftermarket.
@@TheSpitfire2207 Then it is time to turn that horse into some glue....
Buckeye harley in ohio stage 2 with work included is 3800 bucks and the stage 3 is 6800 bucks. Stage 2 they are charging for 11 hours of work and the stage 3 is 22. Ridiculous
Stage 4 for my.1200?
Looks sweet. I really hope the Moco puts out a "performance" version similar to the FXDXT. 114/117 (I actually prefer a Stage III build for street) dual front disc, better rear caliper, hell maybe even an inverted fork...
I think a middle weight performance touring bike built on that softail platform would sell. The void in the market is there and people are already building them in the aftermarket.
Hell, I might even part with my FXDLS for such a machine.
The one cap tank seems cheap...softail seems to make things cheaper for Harley to transfer for one or another model aka modularity. Idk like Harley but seem to be cutting corners without asking what people want...
I really like that bike man, that's so close to what I'd do in pretty much every way! Thanks so much for sharing it. It's only a matter of time until I get a new softail!
I got this bike love it i want to change the exhaust 2 to1 or 2 to 2? Which is a better call
I like the wheels, but I like the graphite version better. Too bad they don't offer it for the Street Bob. I would have to opt for the stage 3 since it offers more power and torque in the rpm that I ride. Do they offer tank lifts for this bike yet?
DK customs have tank lift kits.
John I enjoy the videos I have a 2010 Softail classic heritage and I am wanting to get a tuner and not sure what to get can you give me any insight I am going to have Rinehart 2into 1 and bigger air intake and do camshafts in the near future.
Just bought myself a new Street Bob damn 14k is okay but My God with all those extras and harley work prices I almost spent 22k in total. Only thing I don't like about the fxbb is the small digital speedometer.
what do you think a zero to sixty might be on this? Like, max throttle as pushing her as hard as she will go?
Great looking bike. your comment about how much weight baggers are is huge. you can do all this and still have to overcome that weight. power to weight is always there. funny how we as Harley owners say it is not about the speed and what do we do - add these stage kits to get speed. lol. face it we like the speed and torque. to me it is all about torque. i never get above 4k in rpm so that hp figure is not for me. i would definitely go with a torque cam. i got another year on my 2018 heritage warranty and will switch to a different tuner than. i use fp3 on my sportsters but not sure if is should stay with that on the new bike. we shall see. would be nice to know what you think of all these different tuners. good job man.
Is it advisable to put a stage 2 kit onto a 2015 48? I've been told yes AND no.
I have a 2009 Fat Bob, went with the 96 to 103 stage 4, 12.5:1 compression, Dynojet power vision and target tune, bike is very fast and has gobs of torque.however didn't even think of over heating, so added a fan cooled oil cooler which made it not heat up as fast, but I was going to get one of those love Juggs mighty mite fans, do you think will help?? While running and at speed its around 220, however with traffic it cam reach 290! Now this is the temp I'm getting from the dynojet, so not sure how accurate the temp is, but has gotten so hot its burned off a quart in about 300 miles! Do you think the mighty mite fans will work help cool it down enough? Only thing stock of the engine case basically, the motor runs great, just gets hot quickly and don't want to richen it up, because its already eating up the gas pretty good.P.S. if you know of anyone with a good rune for the 96 to a 103 big bore kit, stage 4, would be excellent! I don't have a dyno, but don't really need one, would be nice to have but the dynojet pretty much tunes itself, just have to put in a base map..I have a map for a 2011 103, but not sure if it deals with the compression...anyways, any ideas on how to cool this bad boy down a bit??
I have a question a street Bob with this kit how would the performance be compared to a road king special with a 131ci given the weight difference.
I just bought a pre owned bike I know has a stage 1 kit on it. How would I know if a stage 2 kit is in it or not without tearing it down??
I want to buy this bike but what about pillion? Can i put a back seat afterwards
Got the 2021 streetbob.. thr rear brakes feel very inadequate. Whats ur opinion?
I'd really love to see a M8 Slim with a stage 3 or 4. I have a 19 slim and love it. But can't find any videos on TH-cam with those mods
I really like the slim. Now to convince my boss to build one out...
what do you think... beginner rider... street bob or low rider?
