I went for a screaming eagle power cam on my softail slim 107, love how it really extends the rpm range and gives a real shove of power when I need to “make progress”

Nice. ❤️👍

dba is a log linear scale, so every 3db is double. hence 103dba is twice 100dba. Great video, thank you !

Hoping to get mine up to Stage2 in the next few months.... Tried a Stage 2 demo bike earlier in the year whilst mine was in for a service... Stage2 torque cam was night & day over the stock cam.

[@TheBikeFather]

Awesome. The weather hasn’t been the greatest lately but I managed to get my bike out a couple of times, and wow… I absolutely love the stage 2. Didn’t want to push it too hard in this video, as the roads weren’t the greatest, but yea. Night and day like you said ❤️👍

[@silverrambo1508]

Now you have similar roar and acceleration and loud like 114. Good upgrade. I went straight away to 114. stock 107 is less louder but also feel a bit of lack of power, It's everything like you said, your impressions, people says that there is no difference between 107 and114, yes but after stage II of 107. I am also bit dissapointed that HD Sportglide is not equipped with 114 engine as stock.

[@TheBikeFather]

True. I think it’s the only model left in their softail line which still uses 107. If I was to buy a new one now, I would probably go for a lowrider ST. But I still love my sport glide.

Hello from France !
Thanks a lot for this simply but brilliant vids !
I love your way to explain, the way you film,
I have the impress to seat back on the saddle !
I 'm looking for an Harley, and I fall in love for the " Sport glide", but...
It'll be my first bike after 20 years stop riding, and ... I'm little afraid not handling in confidence such heavy bike ( 650 Lbs / 317 kg), and worst, to let it falling down ! And, I'm not very tall ( 5"4)
Do you think it's doable, to ride this bike for me ?
Congrats for your work
Have a nice day,
John Christopher

[@TheBikeFather]

Thanks. I’ve replied to your other comment. Perhaps try and take one for a test ride. See how your feel.

Hi Could I ask what screen you are using and what size is it, I'll be after a Sport Glide next year Great Video

[@TheBikeFather]

Thanks. It’s the dark smoke 5 inch from Motea

[@philippef.4590]

Thank you

[@williamschimelfenig1797]

Good afternoon from Brazil! Could anyone help me with the amount of oil in the original/stock SportGlide 2019 suspension? Thank you very much.

[@TheBikeFather]

I have no idea, sorry

[@thomasbuckley34]

Great Vid mate. How do you find the screen, does it keep the wind off you.

[@TheBikeFather]

Thanks. it definitely gives you a bit of chest protection from the wind - but it's not tall enough to completely protect your head. However, with that being said, it doesn't cause any wind buffeting either. I test rode a 2023 Street Glide last year, stock screen, and my head was shaking like crazy because all the wind was being deflected into my helmet. Apparently a common issue. - you don't get that with this sport glide screen.
