toslow Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I traded my 05 electra glide and my 17 versys 1000 in for a Africa Twin I will admit to having a little sellers remorse in letting my Harley go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepybrew Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 we had an oil leak, the orange rocker box had an edge of powder coat holding it away from the gasket. the oil line sucks on the milwaukee 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkisNH Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 My compromise....grew up on sportbikes, but no way I could go to a bagger. She looks a lot sportier without the top box on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I immediately dropped a Red Shift 468 cam, upgraded oil pump into her which really woke her up. I was at work the other day and a guy said I had same year bike but totaled it out last year. He has a 124c.i. big bore kit he is willing to sell me pretty cheap. Has the jugs, pistons, rings, and all gaskets, along with the upgraded fuel injectors and the heavy duty clutch. I have been doing a ton of reading online and cannot really find any great answers to what I'm looking for. Have any of you done the big bore kit on your bike? When all said and done are you happy with the upgrade? Would you do it again? Is it a noticeable difference in performance? I ride with a lot of people but none of them have done the big bore kit. I have reached out to a company called Fuel moto and S&S Cycles. Both assure me these kits are a great upgrade and if installed correctly and tuned correctly I am not making my motor any less reliable. Both told me your making it more reliable, better jugs, pistons, bike doesn't work as hard. The price he is asking is pretty good (I think). I have been online and priced them out. Thanks to all who have some good feedback for me. Yes the bike will be getting Dyno'ed to make sure its tuned correctly. I am not looking to build a monster here, just want a little pep to get up and go when I want. Still want to jump on my bike and say sure lets ride to Florida (I live in Ohio) or where ever, still want my 1 week summer trip rocking out around 4-5,000 miles........ Fuel Pack 3 Tuner V&H power duals with V&H High Output slip-ons High Flow air Filter Dont listen to the tards that dont even ride a harley. i did a 124 BB set up on my 18 SG 27 thousand miles ago,, no reliability issues what so ever/ the roll on power increase is fuckin grrreat / i can break the rear tire loose banging second with ease. and ya comparing it to a sport bike is silly. I went thru Fuel moto myself and theyve been great, right there with tech support any time it was needed. getting more open air flow is key. i went with the screemin eagle 55mm intake with 5.5 injectors and with thaT the stock air cleaner,, even opened up didnt have the flow rate really needed for that much suk according to the dyno tech i talked with. If you can buy the components at a good price i say jump on them. i spent over $4600 for the parts alone. S&S jugs & pistons, fuel moto RACE series tappets, s&s tappet cuffs ( a must on all M8s ),S& s adjustable push rods, star racing compensator, woods 22xe cam, S.E. heavy clutch, power vision tuner and tune, DEcat the cat in the head pipe. probably more im not recalling at the moment. while your in there i recommend removing and testing and or replacing the piston oilers. they are known to not just flow wide open but some have a shitty seal and leak against the case causing issues. DO IT and enjoy it! Edited December 19, 2023 by old indy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I thought the weight was gonna be hard to get use to coming off 400lb sportbikes but I dont even notice it anymore . Feels lighter than I imagined it would.
