What about the crank? The original Harley crank can’t handle this power for very long. The crank is the foundation and when you have a bad or weak foundation the rest of the structure falls apart.

[@MoonshineHarley]

Fully build flywheel with Carrillo rods in this beast.

[@festgnob]

@@MoonshineHarley can you link me to this part thanks

[@Johnclark300]

If I did this build all moving parts are getting replaced with high performance parts you also need to upgrade the transmission the stock one will also break. Also I won't use a belt I will buy a sprocket set with a 530 high performance chain.

I've never understood why people feel the need for bigger and "better" when it comes to Harleys. My box stock 74" '72 FLH has started without fail and run 70mph all day long, problem free, since I bought it used in 1980. People pass up the high dollar machines to look at and take pictures of it too. To each his own, I guess.

[@zacharyduffell9727]

I agree but disagree I love classics and think they should be kept as original as possible but more power is always fun too

[@bbdl7042]

My late 80 sportster makes me the same but it is a 90ci motor making around 110 wheel. Looks like a dinosaur and out runs 95 percent of the Harley’s on the road.

Also there is a KZbin channel with a 128 zippers build called Silver back. Maybe a different name.

[@rawdawgg_]

@@BeLow-NY as having being a previous parts dept associate for HD for a few different shops, there's a good chance it might even been on back order abs maybe someone failed to mention. They're not tracking your order every min of everyday. They call you when your parts come in.. shops and phones lines get busy, I would find it hard to believe you've called more than once and didn't get help.

[@BeLow-NY]

@@rawdawgg_ I called. They helped. Just when months go by and 1000 dollars sitting in their bank account makes me nervous. A simple computer script could send out emails to customers that have been waiting longer than 30 days. Many other places do it and I appreciated the communications. Keeping a customer loyal takes more than doing nothing.

@@BeLow-NY please email Jamie at [e-mail] so I can check on the status and get it to you stat. We don’t can’t keep track of every build. Usually the Silverback is the biggest dude in the jungle. I’m thinking ours would win that fight, lol. They might need to rename theirs now?

[@brutalbrital]

And what did you do to stop the crank case pressure or did you you just inject the overburden oil into to cylinders through the air system like normal, destroying the engine in the process. Also it’s Ohlins not Oleans

[@MoonshineHarley]

Let start with your ridiculous crank case pressure comment. If you have good ring seal you don’t have to worry about excessive crank case pressure. This build has a set of custom CP Carrillo pistons paired with a set of total seal rings. We have finish honed each cylinder with torque plates to fit the piston that will be run in it. You probably don’t know who total seal is but I’m sure you can google it. “Overburden oil into the cylinders” ??? I’m not sure how your setups run but it is very minimal when you have good ring seal. Now your “ destroying the engine in the process” comment it’s ignorant. So now oil destroys engines? That’s a new one. Oil lubricates and extracts heat from the engine. A minute amount of oil mist gets sprayed into the intake which lubricates and can even help reduce heat in the cylinder a fraction. Almost every manufacture designs their engines this way. But in your book that equals total destruction. Also does it really matter how we pronounce Ohlins?

[@austinap2248]

You can install the Feuling breather system for back up. Easy to install and not too expensive.

[@vaughnfontenot4535]

All about ring seal man

[@1custom1234]

I take very long rides, so bikes that get crappy gas mileage don't work for me.

Build bikes get awesome HWY mileage 37 - 43 typically depending on you speed. They sometime get better mileage at 80 than a stock bike since they are barely working to maintain the speed.
