Great explanation on the crank. Thank you. 2004 Fatboy

Cool bike! I have a question. Is the front suspension on this FXBRS lowered? If it is lowered, how many inches is it lowered by? I assume the triple tree is stock.

do these builds require a special type of clutch? I have been curious of that, I have a 2020 FXBB Street bob and shes got a stage one. SE heavy breather intake, 2to1 bassani road rage 3 exhaust and SE tuner. Making 89 hp and 117 ft pnds of torque. At what point would a new clutch have to be considered?

Another awesome video & breakdown

Hello, quick question please: did u tune it up? I have received my air filter but my tuner will take longer time to receive it here in UK. Would be ok to run it without tuning? in your video doesn't say anything about tuning (flushing ECM) after installing this air filter. Thank you

Well shit .

Was there a specific reason why he didn’t stay with the Bassani RR3? Was it a numbers thing or just preference? I loved my thunderheader on my twin cam but I prefer the Bassani on my M8.

Hi there, I love your videos and appreciate all the insights you share! I'm a dyno tuner based in New Zealand, and I have a question for you. I'm a big fan of the sound of the CR483 cams, and I'm currently deciding between the CR483 and the CR480 for my 2021 Fat Bob 114. The bike is completely stock except for a Bassani 2-into-1 exhaust. I'm looking for a cam that provides a nice idle and smooth riding at low RPMs. In your opinion, which cam would you recommend for my setup? Thanks heaps! Sebastian Auckland Nz

Thankfully cams and pipes have improved considerably since this video.🫣

What is the brand, model, height and diameter on the handlebars that are installed on this HD Breakout? Thank you

Isn't .006 high ? Thought with that much torque it demands closer tolerance .002-.003 ? Best Harley volgger .Thank you. Wil

that regular / irregular sound pattern reminds me of vids about V8 engines with blower on top. Sounds same to me like spinning a bit faster and then a bit slower. 👊👍👍

im looking to get that air cleaner I wander what are your thoughts this vs wedge ?

Great build buddy!!!

Great information on the flywheel assembly. But now I know why I have this new vibration going on. I down shift a lot so that's probably how it started. Thanks for the awesome insight ✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

how ridable is it at low speeds

Awesome 👌🏻💪🏻

Why not roller rockers and bar studs?

Great advice mate, can't get better than hearing right from the horses mouth. There's a lot of differing opinions out there. There's also techs and techs, clearly you have played around with these things in alot of different combos. Lucky for those HD owners living in DDowns.. Keep the vids coming mate, I might have to drop my 23 Fatboy in on my way up to Sydney and collect it on return lol, might be a plan 👊😎👊

That's good to see. Every motor seems to have a weak sppot. So far im given to understand my stock 2013 103 is pretty durable?

Yeah, Fuck Yeah!

Absolute beast

This cam turned my bike into a musical instrument. A filthy, disgusting, instrument.

How do we get in contact with you direct about builds costs etc Thanks Scotty

What lifters are in this bad boy?

Excellent vid!! Gonna be building my personal bike to the 128kit. Question currently I’m running my Fatboy with the stock manifold with Vance and Hines slip ons. How much more performance would you really gain by going with the freedom performance radical curve set up? With the stock headers and slip ons I’m already cat free.

A1 cycles does amazing cranks 0.0005 runout H beam rods They keep em on the shelf .. $1400 USD I think Gonna be doing bottom end on mine soon. Started getting some lifter ticking .. when riding next to a brother on way to Sturgis was hearing what sounded like a swooshing metal sound from my cam side. So I’m sure a lifter is dying and prob that little cam chain not spinning around good and true. Thank God the bike survived the 3k miles we did in 4 days .. 100* heat (thank u Ultracool 🙏 🤲). Once my old Road King back from the shop gonna spend the money and bullet proof my road glide 2023 FLTRX 26k miles 1700 did the SE stage 2 15k did SS 124 with 482 cam I don’t BEAT in it but I’m not easy on it. That 482 cam gotta run it higher rpms. I love my highway pulls and I’ll admit I do some engine braking I ride in an MC. Ride ~25k a year. Need that motor that will live 75-100k. I don’t need 150hp. That 140/140 area is where it’s at now and I’m more than fine with that power level .. def gonna go for a mid cam bc I don’t like having to light it up at 3700. But I def don’t want a cam that gonna bring tons of tq at 1800 bc I ride in rain cold .. year around in Chicago Much love from the states

GOOD❤

Sweet

Hi mate have you got a shop I’ve got a 2008 fxcwc giving me an absolute headache atm I am a hobby mechanic (no where near as experienced as a tradie) and would like to make sure doing the right thing with my bike

If you want a fast bike, get a Japanese bike. If you want a good cruiser, Get a Harley and just leave its stock.

I think its crazy...25k for the bike, and then drop another 5k make sure it doesn't break??

Great info! I’ve been researching this for my 07 rkc that I’ve put 100k since new. I don’t ride it rough so when I rebuilt to a 107 at about 70k the runout was minimal. I’ve been debating the dark horse etc but now am thinking just weld it when it comes out if it’s still looking good. I was going to tear it apart this winter but may wait longer since I know the bike has never been abused. TY.

So a bike that goes for >$30,000 out the door needs an immediate engine rebuild? Makes me want to rush out and waste my money on one!

What a beast

Do you recommend the CR480OG for my FXLRST or the CR480MT? about 30% of my riding is 2up. Love your work Tommy.

Oh please change that annoying asf music mate I enjoy your builds but not the f’ing generic music

The key reason for NOT using a solid crankshaft is they cannot be overhauled to zero time without an advanced machine shop capable of grinding crank journals properly. That has immensely benefited owners since the tapered crankpin era. The proper term for the "plug" is "crank pin".

Is that an aussie thing, limeted to 160km/h, cause i drove a brand new street glide 107 in 2017 it did 110/115 miles hour, on the first day in 6 gear (5gear would do 120 if you did 90% trottle) it was a stock rentale bike. (living in denmark so was on holiday) regards sören

5hp on my 117 lowrider stock filter vs no filter, APE cr475 Sawicki Speed 2-1 mid length 126/137 vs 131/138

15 degress that´s t-shirt weather mate he he

Wen do we see the finished build the master tech miller , love ur work legend

Tommy what's the stock air filter robbing this engine, I suspect plenty.

I just think it's funny how people blur their license plate out but it's in who view while you're on the road and it's sitting in the parking lots just baffles me

I just ran across your video and I must say that I am impressed. I have been trying to make a decision between the DR, and the KLR since they are both about the same budget I want to stick to. I like the value and reliability factor they both bring. I am aiming to buy one this winter from my local dealer. For under $8500 out the door (Canadian) and I can be in the Rocky Mountains in less than 2 hours in the heart of Kakwa Provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. Fly fishing for Arctic Grayling and bullhead trout. Your video helped me solidify my choice and although I’m going to try the KLR (simply because I have a trade deal for a mountain sled brewing) but regardless of that I’m going to buy a DR and modify it to my liking so I can get as far away from civilization as my skill sets will allow me. Great video sir. From Grande Prairie, Alberta Canada.

Do you find these k&n based filters allow too much debris into the throttle body and engine over time?
