Title: 2016 cvo street glide cam or 117
Post by: 1roadking on April 11, 2016, 04:30:11 PM
Looking for opinions on a SE 585 in stock 110 with Vance and Hines power duals and os450 slipons or doing a full SE 117 kit. I want strong low and midrange with a little higher Roma before drop off. I haven't even ridden the bike yet but I'm coming off a 2013 ultra with stock 103 and SE 255 cam and really like the power but not the wall at 4500 RPM. My dealer will honor 2 year warranty if I use SE products. The SE259 in the 117 looks like a high RPM cam but showed decent lie RPM torque so I'm confused lol. Last option is run it stock for a year and use aftermarket after that. Open to all thoughts. Thank you.

It will beat the socks off of your 103 all the way through the curve, so I don't really see any downside to the factory 117 stuff from your perspective.

The Power duals are pretty good.  The 450 slip on will Hurt low end torque, not near enough back pressure, not even with the 117.  Same with the V&H high outputs, they hurt low end torque.  Those big mufflers are built for sound, not low end power.  You want something with a 2" or a 2.25" baffle in them, not the big baffles. 

I can't speak to the 259E in the 117 from personal experience, but from they dyno sheets I have seen it has pretty good low end torque.

My 13 SERK has a 259E, with 10.8 to 1 compression and worked heads, I have 100 torque at 2500 rpm, 110 torque at 2750 rpm and hold 120 torque from 3250 to 5250 rpm.  Its a blast to ride, 122 HP, but the torque is what makes it a blast.

Having just done the cams and fuel moto head pipe, I would start with the cams and if not enough go for more.  The only thing you will have to do twice is the tune.  The right cams in a 110 is a strong bike.  1.75 baffles from fullsac for low torque.

What cam did you put in? What where your numbers before and after?

I have the 117 kit with the SE 585 cams .
Better than the SE 259 for low torque.

I have the 117 drop in kit with no other engine mods. The 259E cams work well. Low end grunt is fantastic. Would be surprised if the SE585 produced more. Unending power all through the gears. Dyno posted so you can see for yourself. I would go with the 117 over a 110 build any day. Good luck with your decision.

Did you have a baseline done? That Dyno sheet looks impressive and very strong down low.

Yes, a baseline was done. Tech spent 6 hours on the tune. He did a 50 mile break in and had me put 500 miles on the bike before the final tune. The low end grunt is fantastic. But the Bassani pipes probably help with that.

2016 with the 117 kit, jackpot head pipe and V&H (way too) oversize 450s

Keep in mind that is STD correction. SAE numbers are a couple percent lower.

Matt that is almost my exact set up. How does it feel down low 2000 to 3000 rpm? Does it feel better or worse there compared to stock with exhaust and tune?

Feels like I spent $43k 4 months ago on a bike and still haven't ridden it because the weather is BS and i'm waiting for the stupid air cleaner cover to come back from powder coat.

So yah, feels great :drummer:

Also, to be 100% forthcoming, I've never ridden a stock CVO or a "stage 1" CVO.  My last bike was a '14 103 with a 'too big' exhaust and stg 1 flash.  Before that was an 11:1 103 with a 260 cam...so I'm kind of all over the board over here.

Just had my bike Dyno tuned it hit 100 HP and 111 TQ SAE 5. They said it pulled strong numbers for a stock SE 110. It showed big TQ form 2000 up. I was worried about my exhaust hurting me but it looks great. Bike is a 2016 SE Street Glide with stock intake and Vance and Hines power dual with OS 450 Vance and Hines slip-ons.😎😄

Sounds good. Should work well with the 117 kit.

On my 2015 CVO the SE 585s dynoed at 100/116 with an MGS Pipe..

23k miles later I added a SE 58mm t.b. and a Fullsac DX pipe with 1.75 powercores and gained 10 h.p. and lost 2 ft pounds of torque (110/114).  What would make make the SE 585 shine in the 110 would be a Cometic head gasket (.030) and some added compression (either headwork and or /10.5:1 comp pistons )... Don at HDSP has some builds 119/119 with this set up and another at 119/127 which was tuned at GMR in Texas  for a customer in New Mexico...

In the 117 with headwork the SE 585 cam make 130 to 136 ft pounds of torque, with h.p in the 115 to 120 range depending on your pipe ofcourse...

Don at HDSP worked his magic on my 2012 Road Glide FLTRU's heads (Street performer heads and AV & V valve springs set at 10.35:1 compression) and the dyno numbers were 100/116 In my 103 with the SE 585 cams..

Once my ESP expires (June of 2022) I will add the SE 117 pistons and barrels kit and may swap out cams (TTS 150, or Tman pistons and his 590 cam, or the S &S 635 H.O. cam with HDSP headwork, or leave the SE 585 cam in have Don at HDSP add his magic to my heads again)...Right now I have more time than $..lol

If something happens prior to June of 2022 which requires the heads to be removed I will leave the pistons and barrels stock (110) and send my heads to HDSP ...

If you decide to keep your SE 585s I would bump up the compression (Cometic head gasket and headwork to avoid pinging due to poor gas)..

Good luck and enjoy your SE 585s for now...

Just a few comments
Its all about the combination of parts. Dyno numbers are one thing but how they ride and feel especially at lower speeds where we spend most of our time is important.
I have and do recommend Mahle pistons to upgrade the SE 117" kit but in special cases have used Diamond for customs. They are all 4032 alloy and coated therefore can be fit closer for better ring seal and life. The Tman 590 is a cam with the right compression that checks all the boxes when combined with my head work. The 635HO I would recommend against unless you want an impressive dyno sheet only.

A little added compression will really wake up the torque on a SE 585. My sheet is posted in another thread . Cometic .030, shave heads , zero deck cyls. nothing trick with this. I ended up with 92 CC chamber , 10:57.1 static, Corrected 9:96., CCP 209 . There may be some better cams out there, like   Kury 24-d, T Man 600 etc; Don hit the nail on the head  it's all about the right combination of parts..that's where good experience with what works is key...   Pretty please with my combination, think you will be too.  Above all ..there is NO substitute for a quality tune . Think you will be a happy camper..
