    Matt is definitely the man when it comes to all of the performance engine mods for Harley Davidsons. Super Talented, a wealth of knowledge, aims to please the customer, and humble. Nobody, as a customer, could possibly want more than what Matt has to offer. ML&R.

    200 hp can you imagine leaving Joey‘s bar and grill? I I hope it’ll be able to stop and turn and handle all these guys riding these new baggers, I think they watch too much bagger racing on TV. Every time I get one around me when I’m on my Ducati multi strata RS they want to race. I even left my bags on watching them disappear in my mirrors.

The second thing I was thinking is, "I wonder if most people realize that horsepower is great but it's the torque that you feel"?? The torque is what sets you back in the seat and wants to flip you off the back all while raising the front end. 😂😂😂 And hell, with a bike like that, the earlier it comes in the better if you ask me!!! All good stuff man!!!!

      @PaulSter 2 місяці тому +3

      I'm not sure of the implication. Had H-D wanted to do liquid cooling sooner, they would have, but they knew customers would balk. The idea was to keep it as traditional as possible for as long as possible. Like many things with ICE, emissions reqs finally won out. However, you'll note how much the motor co is trying to conceal the radiator(s).

      The answer is no…i had to retro all my Harley’s to dry primary with delcron case reinforcement…and when you step up the HP you should be swapin the oil pump drive gear too …no amount of balancing cancels the secondary forces so the oil pump drive gear starts to wear when the crank walks…Harley’s are awesome but they weren’t designed with “Big power “ in mind…true you can make them scream, but they wear out 3 times as fast and still can’t keep up with a stock MT09 😂

      Harley has come a long ways in my opinion n I rode jap drag bikes all my life but in my 60s now I ride a 200 HP bad ass Bagger n having a riot. N I've owned 7 sec bikes n 8 sec cars. I've been fast for decades. Choose ur weapon, JUST ENJOY UR RIDE ON 2

      Weird my 114 has been all day reliable. Maybe you bought an old POS one because that's all you could afford 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Carbon fiber wheels on a Harley ???? Yeah let’s save 5 lbs on a bike that already weighs as much as 68 VW beetle 😂😂
