Cool bikes. The older I get the more I appreciate factory stock bikes. My go fast days are in the past. Cool video though. I don't think that I had ever seen a bagger lift the front end on the street like that.

[@throttleblip9854]

If it's vintage or EXTREMEY clean I like stock, otherwise chop it up! haha

[@nbowling10trio]

The older I get the more I appreciate the hotrod Harleys. Used to like the big sportbikes but I've grown up and have love for the fast Harleys. Comfort is a big issue as I've gotten older. Nice bikes guys

[@david-mh7yc]

Great to see. I always love when me and my buddy finaly get our motors running and find the time to ride together.

[@derekbenoit10]

That street glide is bad ass. So powerful. I can't imagine riding that baby.

[@throttleblip9854]

Pretty wild when a 900lb bike power wheelies when you shift hahaha

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Great video. Interested in the final build on that CVO with 135 💯🤙

[@squidmonster3251]

Great content, just subscribed!!

[@garyehrhardt3136]

Nice bikes, great content

[@livingthedream79]

As one of the track officials, I can attest to their safety and preparation.

[@throttleblip9854]

Appreciate your unwavering support and commitment to safety.

[@talkingrock7011]

You just reminded me why I sold my 131 CVO S/G thanks for the video

[@throttleblip9854]

Glad I could help lol

[@scottnewtonrides]

Great ride! What tire is he running on the cvo?

[@flaviohdsgs297]

Sweet Looking Rides. The clutch cable on the CVO is that original HD. Looks like it's of a 2023 CVO. But the 2023 has different end bit in the Clutch handle.. The 2022 has like an eyelet where the pin drops in... Would be great to know what the clutch cables is Please... Thank You 👌

[@Ridingfish]

Fun video!!! 💪 💪 💪

[@throttleblip9854]

Very. Need to do more like this.

[@jonaqua8850]

Both bikes are insane, that streetglide is a beast what tyres does he have. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@lauriemoser4208]

131 SE is an awesome motor. Can't wait to do a bigger motor. But the 131 is great

[@throttleblip9854]

You could just swap a few parts and get more power if that's what you're after. My 128 makes more than the stock 135.

[@slayer04031974]

Can you get the part # for the screaming eagle air filter please?

[@TerryODell-zq9nz]

Very cool bikes...but with over 160HP and 160 Torque, I don't see how that bagger's stock tranny is going to stand the test of time...especially the way your friend rides it. You're definitely getting into Grudgebox territory here for longterm viability (IMHO). Also, am I to understand that nothing was done to the crankshaft either? Your buddy better take it easy on that thing, or I see a massive repair bill in his future.

[@Crimepaysaskapolitician]

What is the lift and duration on a 3/4 cam? Both very trick bikes.

[@billyelmore6890]

Closed Course, Track Officials…..

[@throttleblip9854]

Gotta take every precaution.

[@jasperduncan6633]

You mentioned the problems with OEM Tyres on a Harley. What are these problems and what other tyre manufactures would you look at. Should have said tires.

[@chrisbrintnell3590]

Do either of the bikes have head work? If so what was dune.

[@nathanmoody6360]

Not an avid watcher of these videos not sure what bikes were being compared I saw Ultra and what may be a Softail? Or Road King?

[@shawnpaul7882]

Do u guys think your bikes would hang with a 1800 Honda goldwing?

[@freebehindbars8654]

The difference in price is the biggest difference. The few thousand it takes to do a 128, compared to that 135…

[@throttleblip9854]

To do the 128 like I did it would cost 7,900 after parts. The 135 is 8k for just the engine no labor to swap. Chris also did some extra parts in his so you’re right. Good bit of money difference. I’m at 145/142 he’s at 160/160 currently so something to consider for sure.

[@freebehindbars8654]

@@throttleblip9854 $8k seems really steep for a 128. I take it you used the stock heads, just ported/polished? Currently have a FM 124”, but always thinking of what I can tinker with. Both of y’all’s bikes are badass.

[@nickthinkpainting1978]

Shit I bought a pristine FXR for $8000 with a built motor upgraded suspension etc etc.. I get though need for speed is unfortunately a 💰💰💰addiction 😳💪🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@michaelgarcia8293]

I’m new to the motorcycle world I’m learning as much as I can everyday while being at work and on my phone I eventually wanna get a Harley either fat boy or street glide or road glide within a year, but I wanted to know can this screaming eagle be put into any motorcycle? Like the fatboy or street glide ? I plan on buying brand new 2024

[@throttleblip9854]

The 128 could go in either. Right now the 135 is only for the touring models so wouldn't work on the FatBoy

[@heathwest3718]

Great video. Totally off topic but does anybody know why some street glides between 2019 and 2021 have small screens and some have large screens? They don't have to be specials to have large screens in all cases, but I don't understand the randomness

[@throttleblip9854]

Depends on the dealer ordered it. It's extra for the bigger screen but most people want the bigger one so thats how most get ordered.

[@MrChancebozey]

Bore to stroke ratio determines your rev range and power curve. Not motor size. Great vids and content :)

[@Ridehighfxdb]

Th bore size and stroke lengths is what tells you how many cc or ci the engine is.

[@ecc5119]

Camshaft determines revs and range.

[@Bass.Player]

If you want a bike that runs in high rpm- get a crotch rocket! Most people that ride big twins want torque...

[@throttleblip9854]

high rpm and high revving aren't the same thing. Big v twin engines run best at high rpm but thats high for the engine. A sport bike wouldn't be doing anything in the 3500-5500 rpm range which is where the twins do best.

[@Bass.Player]

@@throttleblip9854 You missed the point!

[@woalum08]

Where would someone local find this Cam fellow. I need dyno tuning and im in seneca.

He's a tech at Timms Harley Davidson in Anderson.

If you're going to build a Race bike, build a Race bike... Harley's got all they can do to keep their F****** motors together when they're absolutely bone stock... Don't Overthink IT!!!...😏😏😏😏😏😏 Good stuff thanks for posting...

[@stevedougherty7462]

The LA taco boys diss 🤣

[@chrissmith7669]

I have the 117 low rider. Does it need more power, likely not. Do I want more power? Without a doubt. Lol

[@dwightbernheimer331]

If you guys were on an actual drag strip you may be disappointed with the results... If you were expecting Real drag strip Times and Speed... Just sayin'... Thanks for posting... Video was entertaining if nothing else...🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣 Merry Christmas Happy New Year...

[@toomey2wheels247]

What headlight do you have?

[@throttleblip9854]

Headlight is Baja Designs LP4. It’s a nightmare honestly. The low beam isn’t usable and the high beam blinds people. Also it’s not made with a high low function(in there defense it was designed to be on or off not high low). They turn signals are from them as well and they are the S1. Also not designed to work as turn signals LOL.

[@toomey2wheels247]

@throttleblip9854 thanks for your input you saved me some money!

[@toomey2wheels247]

@throttleblip9854 just bought a 2016 fxdls and need to get rid of stock light lol

[@IronManMoto]

Please find a solution to your terrible helmet mic :) ow cool video 🙌

[@throttleblip9854]

It's the wind. Notice when I slow or stop it clears up. Just gotta find time to experiment with it.

[@IronManMoto]

@@throttleblip9854 yeah I know, I've been there :) try to close air inlets of the helmet, works for me

So my 11 glide is screaming 135 ...she wants it, she needs it...better give it to her eh 👍💯🤣🤣🤣👌😁🥃🥃sick vid men

I thought he was about to say "renting cabins riding each other"

[@throttleblip9854]

If I did you’d be the one I’d wanna share a cabin with.

[@roncoburn7771]

bring em to maryland

[@racex3721]

Stock transmissions wow.

[@throttleblip9854]

And 0 issues. Just gotta come off the throttle when you shift. If you have a connection at Baker send them my way. Otherwise I’m at 16k in upgrades on a 15k bike, so I’m done.

[@paineys3341]

@@throttleblip9854 wish I could say the same, I have a 2019 RGS that just had to have a total transmission rebuild, bearings and gears f*****d and I only have a basic stage 2 on 114 motor. To say Im glad it happened one the LAST day of my extended warranty is an understatement. Love to have that 135 motor but the cost......

[@racex3721]

Go fast stop last.

[@throttleblip9854]

Solid advice. As long as you do eventually stop. Lol

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

Bigger engines than 115ci peter out when they're on throttle.

[@Wazool]

Funny, you brought Wyman up ... he would also say to leave the idiotic 14 meat hooks off, and no, they do not handle better ... as nobody in ANY motorcycle class uses them...

[@throttleblip9854]

yeah they aren't for me but not my bike so I don't sweat it.

[@jeffrobodene1485]

Beautiful bikes, but I suspect your HP and TQ numbers were taken on the installer's dyno or you local HD shop. I have been around HD for a long time, and was a HD company share holder for over 20 years, and I never heard a HD making the numbers you just stated with 135 cid, cams, exhaust, and a tune.

[@Avankaurparmar]

Hey i just found your channel. Im looking to put a 128 on my 114 roadglide special. Questions what parts did u put on?? I want something with good power but reliability is huge. I dont care about spending the cash in parts but its so deceiving when i see a channel like mhp. They trll u to build the motor all the way to the cranck flywheel ect... half of which i feel is not needed unless you are going to be 160hp and torque or more. Any advice would be appreciated. Im trying to hit around 140 to 150 torque and hp more woukd be nice but 140 is a target i feel is pretty easy with a 128 kit!!!

[@throttleblip9854]

I don't think the 128 kit alone would get you there. Mine has Star 3/4 race cam, Star .640 valve springs, Star Compensator, SE adjustable push rods. Everything else (heads, pistons, cylinders, throttle body, etc) are all from Harleys 128 kit. Exhaust, air cleaner, and tuner used will all make a big difference also.

[@Avankaurparmar]

So I got the s&s 475 cam chest kit I'm thinking s&s 128 kit with oil pump plate lifters ect... I want to throw in scremin eagle 68mm manifold and throttle body mabey the star comp ramp bigger injectors say 6.8 or so and high lift springs im tunes with powervision. My question is would I need heads u think or can u get 150T and hp with the kit i listed

[@hellonwheels1332]

@@Avankaurparmar too small of a cam for 128 to make that power
