Building A Stage 2 Beast / Star 303o Sawicki Speed 2-1 Low Rider ST

[@marathon8649]

Your builder has the patiance of a saint. I couldnt have ten guys joking around while im working on something that needs so much attention. Really nice build, i love the low rider st. Question, are nadal and sandy brothers?

[@TorqueCustomCycles]

Thank you

[@kadimsilahtar]

​@@TorqueCustomCycles my friend, congratulations for the clockwork precision. I love the way you used a screwdriver when tightening the pinion sprockets. I wish I was not thousands of miles away so that you could work on my ultra. Thanks so much for the extensive explanations over the work.

[@redrider0151]

EXCELLENT combination!! Torque Custom Cycles did an EXCELLENT job putting it all together as well....fantastic Sandy!! Enjoy Brudda....get ready to be using a LOT more gas cuz you are gonna be hitting it wide open everywhere.... :D. Special thanks to Mike for allowing all these guys to hang around while he did all this work....takes a TON OF PATIENCE to work in that kind of environment!!!

[@TorqueCustomCycles]

Thank you. I love having people around. These people are the reason I can afford to live the lifestyle I do. 😂😂😂

[@redrider0151]

@@TorqueCustomCycles If I lived up that way, you would be getting my business for sure man!! I absolutely LOVE that you suggest all the extra work in the heads, as thats where all the failures happen! Wish I would have done it when I did my cam for sure. (I did the woods because the 30/30 was in short supply when I did mine).

[@gilnieves7952]

I told you Mike D, was the real deal, great mechanic and cool dude.

[@HOLYSHIFT]

Yes brother I agree !

[@johnlove9263]

This is got to be the best bike video i have ever watched,,That bike mechanic should be paid the moon the way he does his work.Everything he did was 110% from pumping up the lifters to using lots of break in lube..The start up with a new cam can destroy that cam in minutes if it doesn’t get oil or have start up lube on it..👍👍 for the Mechanic.!!

[@Big88Country]

Man, it's always a great time hanging out with the boys at the local shop!! I grew up doing this with my Dad at our local paint and body shop and a trim shop, just awesome!! I have the 30/30 in my 17 Ultra and I love it! My man in this video is a great mechanic! If I lived there I would definitely be at his shop!

[@AmberWhiskeyRGS]

Builder did a great job! Thanks for the video.

[@keithclever5810]

Sandy your bike sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing the install. Lots of fun ahead.

[@FranBunnyFFXII]

I know people bug out about the plastic cuffs, but apparently there's never been a documented failure of them in harley M8. They use them on performance car engines too like the Chevy LS engines like Corvette. I think you only need to remove them and put the S&S ones on if you're doing high lift cams like a .590 or .610. Now days I just recommend people to use magnetic lifterholders(30$ from FuelMoto) and don't bother with the cuffs or removing the tappet blocks for anything other than changing the color of the blocks. Instead you can pull out the camplate and oil pump and the lifters fall out of the tappet holes, so you can replace them with new ones easily from underneath, and then hold them up with magnetic lifter holders, and put the rest of the engine back together. FuelMoto recommends that if you're going to remove them, disassemble the cam chest, then heat the engine block under the bolt for 5 minutes with a heat gun. Or get an induction heating coil and get the bolts very hot that way. I broke a cuff bolt on my Fat Boy, and it ruined my summer because I had to pay a shop to extract it.

[@toolmaker5150]

I am contemplating this now. I have the new cuffs, but not sure I want or need to install them. (Wood 22xe cam) As a machinist for 40+ years, I find it hard to believe excessive loctite in aluminum would cause a bolt that size to snap. Seems like a poor quality fastener to me. I have broken other bolts on the bike torquing to spec with a good calibrated wrench.

[@easyglider1307]

Congrats Sandy. I am salivating to do a cam install myself. I want the satisfaction of saying I did it.

[@deanndrabrown5697]

Sounds amazing and I can tell you were grinning ear to ear as you rode it! 😊

[@HOLYSHIFT]

You are 💯 right !

[@gunner9010]

I appreciate the play by play on the install. The sound change with the new cam is incredible. Very cool video! Thanks.

[@happyness5293]

Best video I've seen yet! Awesome bunch of guys, having fun joking around and doing some excellent work on your bike..

[@HOLYSHIFT]

Thanks

[@drainmonkeys385]

This is exactly what I decided on fir my lowrider st… 3030 cam and sawicki exhaust.. .. also Kraus 10”risers and raptor pull back..

[@ProdigalRider]

Dang Shift!!! You turned your bike from stock to BadAss in one episode. Watched the whole thing and was great. Congratulations! Seems crazy to say but can’t wait for my Road Glide to go out of warranty. Haha

[@DavidTorres-xl2jl]

That Lobe is nasty Sandy!! 🙌🏼 Great Cam!!

I love it!

[@zonktified1247]

Awsome video and great work. I hope those people who live across the street from the shop love the sound of HD's!

[@CGB65]

If I could give two thumbs up or more, I would. I thoroughly enjoyed the detail. Mechanic Mike works with precision, accuracy and care. He clearly knows motors. I can't wait to see some ride reviews. A good question, how much total time did this installment take? Second edit...Geeeeesh, it sounds amazing.

[@johncampana86]

If it's not broken don't fix it my stock 114 is pretty fast

[@richardrussell500]

The Fueling vented dipstick is good... however, it is better to vent through the transmission cover using a Trask setup.

[@amberbali8881]

I vent through a Trask trans cover and also installed 1/4" threaded vent nipples on my S&S Stealth back plate to vent each head to the atmoshere. Works great, no residue getting sucked via vacuum into the intake trac. Way prefer the Trask to the vented dip stick.

[@richardrussell500]

@@amberbali8881 keeping that snot out of the combustion chamber will make our engines happy... everything I have watched and read, indicates that the Trask transmission vented cover is superior because it is at the highest point of the M8 case. less oil sloshing around in that area when riding the bike. the vented dipstick is lower than the transmission cover on M8s and suffers from the sloshing oil, which in turn, allows more oil than desired to vent past the internal umbrella valves. although the dipstick method works, the chances of oil migrating to the filter is much greater than the transmission setup. all in all, the idea is to allow the engine to breath and keep snot from fouling the piston tops : - )

[@amberbali8881]

@@richardrussell500 Correct.

[@stanwerner7484]

Replacing the valve springs without removing the heads--pretty smart---do you have a P/N or name of that tool and where to purchase it? thanks

I'm getting ready to install this same cam so this was very informative especially the part about the rocker arm studs. I'll have to contact the best tool shop in the universe (new jersey discount tools, ten minutes from Torque) about getting that socket.

Bike sounds great really pulls what a feeling I’m sure to ride now.

Funny enough I researched my build I want to do. So far you have chosen all the same components. One thing I 'm curious about. Did ypu go wity the catted sawicki or the decatted?

John is in trouble, sounds good bro

[@jamesdunn3508]

Congrats Sandy, sounds amazing this was an absolutely great video. Give props to mike for letting you video the process. How long was the actual job? Thanks for sharing . waited until tonight so I could watch it straight though.

[@destinationh-d1]

So, I just watched an older video where you said you didn't want to void the warranty and you put the Tab slip ons on the bike. What changed? I would love to hear your sawicki in person one day.

[@HOLYSHIFT]

I didn’t want to void my warranty first year . Wanted to let bike run stock for a break in period and after a year that I see all is good and no defects in manufacturing- I upgraded to stage 2.

[@dbrannon4]

Inspirational to say the least! Making me wanna look for a second job..... You missed the shot with the fire belching out of the pipe but I'm sure we'll see it soon enough!

[@ehump517]

Did you notice more vibration at all revs after the install? Did the dyno fix it?

[@ncautolink]

Love it! Awesome video! The bike sounds awesome! Love to see how happy you got on the initial start!

[@fowlerjoe33]

Maybe I missed it, but why wouldn't you get a bigger Throttle Body with those upgrades? Great content Sandy! Columbus Ohio

[@stanwerner7484]

do you have the Part number for the S&S springs you installed?

Congrats! Its a beast 💪

[@RGlide514]

Sandy, Pretty sure S&S recommends no more then .0005 runout with that camplate and oil pump. Just a FYI. I am sure there is some room for play and hope that shop knows that. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

[@toolmaker5150]

I think you have an extra zero in your number.

[@philblock]

What were the final Dyno numbers?

[@kevinkinney5445]

Talk about covering all bases. Looks like a mechanically perfect build. Have you upgraded the suspension as well?

[@HOLYSHIFT]

No I didn’t! Believe it or not - I’m very happy with the stock suspension and find no reason to change it !

[@kevinkinney5445]

@@HOLYSHIFT hey sandy, I'd love to get an ST, and I've seen everyone on you tube with one... But You, hands down, have in my view, The Best Overall mods of Harley Lowrider ST out there.

Hey Mr. Shift how much did that upgrade cost?

[@allborosnyc4544]

Nice detailed video. Do you keep the old parts?

[@HOLYSHIFT]

Some of them I keep

[@FFL-vg9ro]

My 2009 Superglide with a stage 1 96, runs a 240 head temp measured with an infrared temp gun next to the spark plug. No fans. My 2021 Road Glide 107 stage 1 averaged a 325 head temp without fans, and now averages 267, for a 58 degree temp drop with Love Jugs. My 2022 Low Rider ST 117 was 300 degrees hard temp stock, and now averages 249, for a 51 degree temp drop with the Love Jugs. So yes you are right. The newer bigger motors are running much hotter, and even with fans, they are still hotter that the old 96 Twin Cams with a tuner. I’m thinking that If I did a Power Vision tune on the 2021 and 2022, it would drop the temps even more.

How come you didn't replace the manifold? you had every thing off you could have replaced the manifold that stock one is plastic you said you wanna make it bulletproof???
