That is one seriously impressive machine. The sound is incredible. Thanks to the owner for sharing his Harley with us and thanks again Matt for the great vlog.
UNBELIEVABLE! The CFR pipes are amazing. The bike sounds like an angry monster that wants to eat you when you crank the throttle. I know you can’t mention names, but this owner is definitely in a high tax bracket throwing a Stage IV in a 117 CVO RG. Truly amazing numbers, and video.
the pipes do sound good but I would rather live with the Screamin Eagles long term ...
So I watched Matt's Vid of the dealer show, wanted the CVO RG in red, had to wait six months...got it, in the six months I watched this vid. Did it. best move I ever made. On the open roads of the northern states , MT, ND, SD lots of space to do well over 107mph. now I am looking for the tuner to get rid of the limiter. Keep us posted Matt, only another few months and my warranty will be done. I'll be in the market !
Matt, your reviews are always trustworthy. I appreciate the no-BS attitude and your vast knowledge of bikes and the industry. Keep 'um coming.
Every time I watch Matt ride, I say he rides just like I do every time I hit the highway! Love it!
That CVO is far more stunning in person!!!
Yup..The Price Tag was even more Stunning !!
@@MrLew1965 Either you got the money or you don't. Kudos to those who do have the money to enjoy it.
I watch your videos to see how a tall guy fits on different Harley's. I'm 6'9" and it really helps to see how a tall guy sits on a Harley.
She sounds great. Thanks to Matt and owner!
Matt, I enjoy your video and audio, great technique and extremely informative. What I really appreciate is your honest opinion on products as well as the bikes you sell. Keep up the great work, wishing you and your family a blessed new year.
Thank you sir. I wish you the best.
Nice ride Matt....the splitting lanes I have to come and try... great call on getting customers bikes on your videos, viclas and clubbber bikes 👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks Matt ,this is what I asked you to do a couple of months ago.my 2018 cov st stage 4 has been complete .just waiting for the snow to melt and warm up.its -21 here right now,
Awesomeness Matt... Keep it rollin Laidlaw....👊🙏🇺🇸
Hey Matt I did a small build on my bagger that I bought from you. The rental Express. I use it for touring and commuting. It's been a great bike can't stop riding it. 125+ hp and 125tq. 107 FM OUTLAW build
Danny Tapia awesome Danny. Show me next time you’re in.
@@MattLaidlaw I will
It`s not a marginal performance increase from HD stuff to aftermarket. In some cases it`s 20% or better. If keeping warranty is important than by all means use HD parts, but if you want performance per dollar go aftermarket. Fuel Moto is a very good example of quality, reliabilty and performance .
@@BaggerJay I think moco is limited by EPA. Plus once a kit is put together it has to be dyno tuned to be efficient thx jay
It really does help in highway driving passing trucks you don't need to use all that power but it's nice to know it's there thanks for the video Matt take care
Love your videos matt. That's one of the nicest bikes I've seen you demo yet. And usually thunderheader is my fav exhaust, but those cfr pipes sound wicked and that's on camera. I could only imagine in person. But anyway, i would love it if you could ever find a sporty to demo thats decked out like the big bikes you do. Thanks for the awesome vids!
Matt you NAILED THE AUDIO on this video!
Great idea featuring some people’s bikes. Will def be sick to see what’s out there especially in the performance area. Lookin forward to that keep it up!
Thanks for the great vid Matt! Always nice to see a scoot with some chrome on it!
Absolutely beautiful bike Matt. Thank you for contributing to the community.
I'm so torn Matt. I was set on getting the billiard blue RGS and doing a stage 4 on that. But after seeing what it does for the CVO is amazing. I'm glad my business ventures are looking promising. I might have to hold out until next years CVO's come out. I'm sure I'll be happy either way, but you've got me thinking now. Damn you Matt 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Awesome video, definitely gotten better over the years
Hi Matt, Great Video! I have this same bike on order (last CVO) at my dealership in Boston. Due in March 8th (Just in time for Spring) Can't wait! I will be doing 12" Factory 47"s and slip on's for now! Thank you!
Terrific video...love the Road Glide.❤️ intend to get one when l go touring in retirement..keep up the interesting videos please Matt👍
Matt...This is an awesome video!!! Felt like I was right there...My heart was pounding (and I'm an old guy)!!!
Great job!
All I need now is the winning lottery numbers so i can afford that beautiful thing!
Good vid Matt, beautiful bike and it sounds great. One thing I believe about HDs is, they are a rolling work of art.
Thanks for honest review. Would like to see bigger torque increases for that much money.
If you want torque then get the stage 3, its not what the stage 4 is about.
That bike sounds ruthless.
Just my opinion matt, but i really want to see more about you vlogging in that beautiful bikes, maybe you should try it, no voice dubbing, no explaining long using sources from the intrrnet just pure vlogging. Keep up & love your vids!
Thanks. I will try to do more of that. Good suggestion.
Awesome looking bike. I have a built 18’ Shark with 124c.i. built at Lima HD, OH with Ward Performance parts. It’s pretty nasty at 148hp and 143ftlbs at the wheel. Battleship Grey. Total
Monster.
Damn bruh. That Roadie is pure evil. Thanks for sharing.
That bike sounds insane .
Matt I was told by Harley those pipes would void my warranty
Wow that bike looks great sounds magnificent with those cfr's those have to be by far the best sounding Muffler love when you guys ride out on the highway! Love those handlebars to perfect fit for that bike.
Yo Matt, your idea of highlighting bikes is an awesome idea, kudos!
Thank you. I’m glad people are enjoying it.
Great work, and so much power and sound. I like it.
I had Stage III (107 to 114) installed on my 2018 FXLR. I believe that the cons of fitting such upgrades should also be mentioned for full disclosure (perhaps there are none for touring models??). While the increased power and torque on a relatively lower weight HD is awesome and I love it, there are some downsides. First , the high capacity clutch disks on a cabled (archaic) clutch mechanism makes pulling the clutch lever in really really really heavy and riding in city traffic for some time is a choir and not pleasant for one's left hand. Also, the SE chrome mufflers are incompatible with the upgrade because they can't take the heat and yellow -which is not a good look. To mitigate these issues, I installed after market 'adjustable' gear leaver (which meant I also changed to an 'adjustable' brake lever so that I had matching levers) and installed heat shields to cover the discoloured SE mufflers - which really detracts from showing off the otherwise nice looking slip-ons.
Hmm. I know they install a heavier clutch spring but I haven’t had people complain about it. The SE pipes should not discolor. Did a Harley dealer install the kit? Is it tuned properly?
@@MattLaidlaw . Stage III installed by HD dealer. Tuned by same HD dealer using SE tuner standard programs. I subsequently had the bike Dynotuned by the HD by which time they had approval to replace the discolored SE slip-ons under warranty. However, the replaced mufflers also went yellow (the yellowing occurs near where they connect to the headers).
Chrome. You don't see that much these days. Sounds great.
Wow, that is a dream bike for me, but maybe with a stage III kit, ala Jamie's Heritage, but what a beautiful badass bagger!
That muffler sounds awesome.
That bike is almost as good looking as my wife.
Bernie Worona you must be married to a perfect 10.
@@FXDLS-ot1wq Beauty is in the eye, well you know the saying. These eyes are 70 years old..
Bernie Worona Nah dude, she’s a 10.
Dude I'd trade my wife for that bike any day....and my wife is beautiful!
Damn! What does your wife look like?!
@matt Fantastic review as always! You are the best!
By looking at the numbers graph, I see that having the stage 4 kit wud actually mean that you lose the horsepower and more importantly the torque, until you reach 4k rpm, only after which both Hp and torque increase. The stock Hp and touque numbers are higher than the stage 4 kit numbers until 4k rpm. Correct me if my understanding is wrong. I pressume usually 60-70%(or even more) of riding would typically be under 4k rpm. So how far is having this kit advantageous?! Is it worth it...
What tuning method was used? TTS?
**** Speechless........Completely speechless and in hopelessly in LOVE!!
Matt, can you tell us what bars these are? Many have asked already.
They're not Factory 47 (not pointy) and they're not The Harley Road Glide Chizeled ones either (don't fit and are not tapering into the grips like the ones in the video).
These are also nice and fat, probaly 1.5".
Pushing it....awesome bike....nicest bike
I kinda wish you would do more reviews on different new model Harley-Davidsons with the different Screamin Eagle kits installed.
Great video bike sounds awesome I agree h-d parts done by the dealer keeps warranty in place also might wanna add extended warranty it’s come in handy with my street glide
Another great vid ! I didnt do stage 4 on my 19 CVO. I put woods 777 cam and fulsac exhaust. Thing is a beast as well.
1 bad SS great move on the 777 blows away the HD cam for M8 and TC bikes
Steve at fullsac makes the best power exhaust for the m8 I think the d and d might be the only one that compares. But I like the stock heat shield look
Travis Andrews try Jaimie at fuel Moto personally I like and have a 2-1 pro pipe, I like the symmetrical look
Check out my vids on my bikes. I have 777 in my Limited with V&H power duals. On my Street Glide I have full stage 4 with thundermax. And my Road glide has 777 with fullsac
It’s 2020 now and what I would love to see is one of the Road Glide Limited bikes ( I think thats it, has the big Tour Pak on the back and all the Harley touring bike stuff with a 131 Stage 4. Thats a bike that should be able to move down the highway even though it’s a bagger. Trying to get my money together.
If we do that engine kit on the road glide limited I’ll be sure to throw a video up on the channel.
Good video as usual Matt. Weren't the guts of that hand built CVO 117 very very close to what that chap just purchased. The compression , inches, 64mm throttle body, CVO low restriction mufflers ? Is the CVO clutch less efficient than the upgrade? I just purchaser the identical machine same paint chrome etc. I wonder if I would be wise to toss all the guts of my engine except the crank and rods.
I luv those Bars ! I need them in Black!
Great video but i was really hoping to see a few runs of you both full throttle at the SAME time. I noticed you always went wide open and the black bike usually didn't or didn't at the same time. I would have loved to have seen a real heads up race of a stock bike vs a stage 4
Pretty Bike, I would hope the power numbers would be a little higher... If I run across one of these stage 4 HD’s I d like to see where my Victory Vision stands... Happy Trails!
That thing is a monster and growls like it!
OMG, I rest my case! 🙌
My 2019 Roadglide CVO (Pepper Red) I currently went through my second oil pump, first one in 300 miles, second one in 1100. Will HD ever make a correct fix?
The problem with the stage 4 kits are the inability to use the power they produce in sixth gear due to the speed limiter. My '18 Street Glide hits the speed limiter before it red lines in 5th gear! That leaves a hole other gear that you can't even get into the powerband in. Question: do you know of any work-around to shut off the speed limiter. I can live with the rev-limiter but the speed limiter kind of defeats the purpose. Kind of bummed that Harley now wants to regulate how fast I want to go. I know there is an argument to be made why anyone would want to ride faster than the speed limiter allows but that should be my decision not Harley's...unless there is some design flaw they're not wanting to disclose at the higher speeds? I have heard nothing of a DOT regulation requiring speed limiters is there? Love the bike, love the power of the Stage lV just wish I could utilize it's full potential...just sayin'
Yea. I agree man. You’re right.
Did you forget we have a speed limit in this country?
@@tax905972 hey Duane how 'bout you ride your motorcycle and I'll ride mine..big brother
@@tax905972 I think you're missing his point
Richard Turner you don’t like being restricted by some government or ceo siting in a office, I got it. I can see the other side of it after you cause a collision by riding like a fool on public streets. I had to respond to those collisions for 24 years. You’re limited to 107 mph . If you’re not running on a closed track why would you need more speed?
Not my style of bike but boy is that pretty
Dinky Dot thanks.
@@MattLaidlaw I love the way the Motor company is going. a few years ago I bought my last Harley and it was a lemon, I know it happens and just looking at these new bikes you can see they are back with Quality and they deserve another look, And that's from a diehard Indian man. And Matt you run the best Harley Channel out there
Awesome ride definitely beyond the budget maybe some day!
The bike sounds violent!!
That was sweet ride and sound.
Thanks !!!
Too bad I'm up in Canada there Matt! I'd love for you to feature my West Coast Chopper CFL on your channel. S&S with a six speed baker. Once again another outstanding review, keep up the solid work👍
Joe Campbell dang. Yea, I’d love to.
I would have to disagree with you on this Matt, there are numerous third party warranties that cover aftermarket components as long as they are dealer installed and proof of being dyno tuned. My 107 with an aftermarket cam that costs about $1800 makes 120TQ and 110HP. . And a 114 with the same aftermarket cam swap I have makes over 130TQ and almost 120HP all while being much less money than the stage 3-4 from Harley.
Numerous shops have said that the stage 3-4 kits fail constantly due to the lifters breaking and holes being burnt in pistons and valves due to how lean the tunes are that are included in the Harley kits, not to mention cylinders going out of round or cylinder spigots cracking.
Only thing I don't like... stage 4 is hp hits at high rpm... I want power right away... not a continuous power build up
Get a cam that is designed for low rpm torque
OOO. So after I get done modding my Fat Boy to the Stage2 power, I can ride it down to LA, and have you film an episode with it? that'd be awesome.
Hey Matt, how do those bars feel on the road glide. I like them but they look a little similar to the positioning of stock bars?
Matt, between. the softail deluxe and road king, what would be your pick? I had the chance today to speak with Emilio Rivera, and we spent a long time talking about the differences between the road king and the deluxe. His consensus was that road king = comfort, while deluxe = style. What's your take on the two bikes?
Everytime I'm pissed at the wife, I watch this same video imagining me and my best friend riding hogs. Bike sounds beautiful. Thanks for taking me to a better place!
No problem. Happy I could help.
the best of the best of the best...
Hey Matt what do you think about the CFR muffler? What do you like more the CFR muffler or Bassani, Corbra or Rhinehart
Hi , can you please tell me , the handlebar , is it a factory 47 legacy? GT? what kind of model is it?
Thanks
Great video and review. I don’t think the stage iv is for me as I don’t ride at high rpm. Any thoughts on a stage ii torque cam on a 117? Do you have an opinion on TAB mufflers?
people saying CFR mufflers have poor performance , did you get good performance from them?
They haven’t been the best with the Milwaukee eight. They sound okay but no, they don’t run as good as some of the others.
I’m curious as to how much ridability you lose in the lower rpm... like around 2200-3000. The cams come on about 4000 rpm, does that mean that at cruising speed /rpm, does it constantly feel like you need to downshift, does it feel like you are lugging the motor?? I’m thinking that sometimes a milder build could be better for most peoples riding.... thoughts?
Sounds awesome!! But do the pipes interfere with you being able to here the stereo?
Is that noise annoying on a long ride with the bags loaded up? I had to turn the volume down.
Hi Matt, can you tell me if Harley sells a Stage II Torque Cam Kit for the 18 CVO Road Glide 117? I do see the Power Cam Kit, but not the Torque one. What would you recommend for more Torque if i don't want to go to the Stage III upgrade and still keep my factory warranty? Thank you
Good review, Matt
Beautiful RG !!
Great work Matt i have a 2018 CVO road glide. ps do you have a HOG chapter associated with your dealer ship i think it's a great part of the brand and might make a great story. Thanks Paul from down under.
What are the CFR pipes ? The canon screming eagle or other ones ? Those can be put for a stage 2 (cam changed) ?
Looks and sounds great. What traffic lanes are you in?
Thanks for the video Matt. My buddy has a 2012 skunk glide. Will those factory 47 bars fit his bike?
I'm proud to say I own one of these beautiful bikes. I had zero interest in trading my black road glide very happy,,,,,,until I saw this bike!! I wish I knew how many of this color (silver) were made in 2019, mine is #671, I'm not sure if that is #671 of all 2019 CVO Road Glides, or #671 of the silver/chrome ones,,,,,,anyone know??
Love your intros. Pipes sound mean....thanks!
Were those dyno specs with the CFR mufflers or is that just a stage 4 comparison to stock dyno chart?
Whoa whoa whoa are you knocking Bro Science?! When has Bro Science EVER failed anyone? Lol. A lot of money in this bike, this bike is ride hard like all should be
Matt, I enjoy your videos. With the Stage upgrades to the M8, especially 117's, have you seen more problems - specifically with the oil sumping. I'm hearing a lot about that and would love to know your thoughts.
Nothing recently. HD has gone though a couple versions of the oil pump. We do these kits all the time. People like them. Just make sure you weigh your options between the stage 3 and the 4. The 4 isn’t necessarily better than the 3.
I thought all the RG CVO came with Stage 4 upgrades. Why feature this bike?
Those muffler sound awesome. But they are terrible on Dyno. Bad ass bike thanks for the review.
Hey Matt, I have to switch to a trike due to balance issues because of nerve damage caused by diabetes I have to get a trike. I’m looking at a Tri Glide, how about a review and customization ideas for it.
I’m about to buy and customize a low rider soft tail and make it club style. I’ll let you know. Def would be cool to have it on the channel.
If you are in the socal region pick it up from us if you can, we will hook you up!
Absolutely. Hit me up when it’s done. Like Nick said, email me if you’re in Ca. I’d love to earn your business on a LowRider.
The bike comes with the 117, why change the internals for 2699 when it seems there is no gain, what has changed from the stock 117 vs the stage 4 117 upgrades..?
About 30 more horse power and 15 ft lbs of torque
is shifting at 4k normal or just preference? are there optimal rpm for the M8? Thanks.
Is the warranty still valid if you fit an aftermarket exhaust?
Dayum. That things got the lungs to leave Gold Wings sucking its exhaust. A little on the loud side though. I prefer the exhausts on the black one.
I see Cali is issuing $1000 tickets to cars now for loud pipes. Are they letting bikes slide?
what about purchasing an extended warranty at purchase , will this kit be covered under the extended warranty too beyond the original 2 years?
Yes. As long as you install the kits within 2 months of purchase date or buy the Additional screamin Eagle coverage.
Hi Great video as always! What size and make are the bars?
Are the handlebars the 14” chiseled bagger bars from Harley?
Sweet build! Love the CFR sound but I wonder if he could make more power with a 2-1?
flightguy99 no doubt !
The HB that are on this bike could you tell me the model size of these bars? Thanks
