Hey Bubbie, I'm curious to hear, on a scale of 1 to 10, how everything you did affected your performance. From stock to Stage I? Adding the cams next?
Here's the reason I ask:
Honestly, I'm a Bit Disappointed With Stage I - Harley Davidson Community
Well DR..... I installed the SE255's BUT I didn't notice a Big amount of Torque that I thought I would get AT Lower RPM...
Normal shift down when passing is Still Needed... but When down to 4 gear at 50 and 5 at 60 , Twist the throttle and YOU FLY!!!!
I am ""NOT"" disappointed BUT wondered IF I would of used the 4* to lower (early or late?) the cam function IF I could of made the "Torque Curve" Come On a bit earlier????
Some one with Knowledge of the 4* gear needed here please...
It Doesn't bother me enough to tear back into the cam-chest to TRY....
I thought (wished) the cams would of "come on" a bit earlier to Help the torque at the Lowest End but they (I) still need to shift bike down to the lower gear...... BUT you better Hold On! (No tack but about 2200 and up)
I used the SE HD slender tapered, fully adjustable push-rods and I am VERY happy with them.. Big improvement over the Old Day Clubs SE offered back in 2000 or so.
I would read-up and do a little MORE study of cams IF you want the torque earlier than I got it.... But would I change anything Now?..... NO!
When I shift down a gear or two,, I feel the wife grab for the leather and hang on... Gotta LOVE that power! Scale is a "8"
