We only live once and your riding days are not that many. Building the bike you want and enjoy is one of the pleasures most won’t understand. In the end, you are not riding a magazine review or someone else’s opinion, you are riding the motorcycle that does it for you. It’s a visceral thing that the lucky few truly understand.

[@stvkeith]

I still maintain that you should add a boost controller to the system, so you can easily switch between pump gas and race gas power. I run the Turbosmart eBoost controller on my 96" 2011 Fat Boy. 179hp/181tq at 14psi on 91 pump gas with ACES IV additive. I haven't bothered to turn it up more and run C16, but before the boost controller, it did make 18psi on C16 and made 201hp/200tq and captured the 1650cc A-PBF record at Bonneville at 167.435mph. That beast should go as fast as you're willing to ride it.

[@HMods1991]

Being a parts manager, and owning two 131 crates myself (seriously I’m not trying to brag) I can safely tell you that they do not stamp the vin number on the engine. They just give you an MSO to put with the title. If they put the vin number on the engine, they would require you to send the crank case back. Which they don’t because they don’t stamp the matched vin on it

[@kdsowen2882]

Your Hp-gains , all-the-way-through, are very-impressive . I haven't seen such large-gains on any other motor with such little modification . This model Harley must be pretty-strangled (inlet-through-to-exhaust) . Normally , the first 10-hp is relatively-acheivable but from there-onwards it normally costs A LOT . A 25hp-gain on a 500single , could set you-back 10K . So engine-cost aside(crate-engine), you have done very well. Dave NZ

[@husler1999]

Little modification lol

[@Ritalie]

So to clarify, the crate engine he purchased is a 2150 cc engine or a 2.1L engine, and it has 4.5" pistons (approx) diameter. It's the biggest engine you can possibly buy for a motorcycle, other than Triumph's 2.3L Rocket with a car engine. The crate engine had 140 horsepower stock. On pump gas, he went from 140 horsepower to 210 horsepower, a 70 horsepower gain by adding the cam and turbocharger and oil pump. The camshaft alone added 20 horsepower. Using race gas he was able to temporarily up the boost to get 260 horsepower, but that's not a normal thing you would want for long term.

[@jomanout5866]

A great inspiration to us all, thanks for sharing Sean :) I ride a 1995 Suzuki Intruder 1400, probably making 72hp and 94ft lbs of torque, I never dyno'ed it I just copied the modifications someone else did who dyno'ed his bike. I wouldn't mind having double the power, basically I want to be worried about pulling a wheelie or frying the tire if I hammer it and it currently does not. Maybe I'll try to turbo it for fun, either way you have a fricken cool bike man. Can't wait til you're comfortable to initiate a 0 - 60 :)

[@Ritalie]

Instead, you should find a way to gear the bike up, to make your engine do even less RPM's. I found that having a super high 6th gear (or 5th) makes a motorcycle a million times more relaxing to drive, if you can get the engine RPM's down by almost 30% when you're cruising, it transforms it into a pure heaven experience, instead of the annoying drone of the engine way over what is necessary for maintaining speed. Performance is good, but super high gears preserve your engine and you could get 25% more engine life by putting 25% higher gears on, and you can also get WAY more gas mileage. One bike I had got 94 mpg after I put a tiny back sprocket on it!

[@xsinx6577]

What video? I have a 03 intruder 1500 and I’m interested in making it a little quicker

[@iwasatoad]

Street is all about torque. My turbo fz10 on pump 91 still only puts out 188hp but the spike in torque to 105ftlbs from 6k through 8k makes a heck of difference. Still struggles to keep front down to use it on street. But for anything below 100mph on a bike it’s all about torque and if you can get it told not brake loose.

[@gforce_117]

Agreed. My KTM 1290R has enormous power everywhere because of the high compression v twin torque. Torque makes things feel really fast even if they don’t make a ton of power.

I started out as a motorcycle mechanic on the Japanese brands in 89 then added the European brands later starting with Ducati then adding the rest over the years but now most of the work I do is on Harley because im old and so are the people who ride them and we just get along well. I love all bikes and HD dose some smart things like make their fuel injection pumps accessible from the top of the tank instead of the bottom like everyone else but their inefficient oil pumps are something else. Maybe it is because the old EVO motors needed volume over pressure and they never got away from that design but HD is the only brand that needs a oil pump upgrade. We got close to 300 wheel HP out of a base model H2 and never gave the stock oil pump a second thought. I have done allot of HD oil pump upgrades mostly upgrading the 88s but lots for builds and they are such a bad design and inefficient. 10 times the size 10 times the parts and 10% of the performance as the metric side of things. I love HD new and old im glad they are getting in the adventure market as well I just want them to built a better oil pump.

[@PartikleVT]

Harley is pretty much the best platform for a street turbo. You essentially want a "badly" tuned engine, and thats what a harley is. Compared to japanese sport bikes with a 13:1 compression, harley only has 9:1. A turbo is essentially a compressor, so you are in fact adding compression. With a harley you have a headroon of 4:1 compared to a sport bike. In drag racing a bandit 1200 and a busa might be the ideal, but those are not as reliable setups. A harley on the other hand can take the turbo and stay reliable. Just tune it properly, increase oil pressure for the added loop to the turbo and make sure the engine gets cooled properly. Other good candidates for turbocharging include everything with a harley engine and japanese cruisers that also have a ton of headroom.

But currently the Kawasaki H2\H2R ninja is the fastest most powerful production bike, at 310-320hp supercharged 1000cc with a top speed of 220mph, the H2R has reached 249mph! Of course it has restrictions from the factory & a top speed limiter, a ECU flash will correct these & a dyno tune will yield a lot more HP since they are very detuned in order to make them safer & comply with emissions & noise regulations.

Only things I would really change are I would have to run it on pump (for availability), I would have backrests for both seats and I would probably go for black turbo and pipes to go with the bike. The stainless are more stand out and cool but I like stealth when its making big numbers. I remember all the haters when you mentioned 200hp and I remember commenting on when you do it I need a parts/cost breakdown so I can copy it. I still need that breakdown - at least for the parts.

Does turbo any good for long rides? I heard some people say might be heat the engine very easy.

[@WVhillDweller]

I like my road king. But you're rk is crazy!!! Thats a wicked machine!!!

[@josephthomas7477]

I rented the same bike in Florida and it was pretty quick but definitely felt like it needed more

[@Dunkolunk]

We had problems lifting the cylinders off the cases. Pulling the studds right out. We were making 365hp on a 113 with nitrous and k4 turbo

[@Srkcycles]

wow that amazing

[@daviddavis1322]

RH mirror still has the sticker on it that would be removed on PDI. You've swapped out an engine and gone turbo without riding it much?

[@johndreyer9730]

I just bought a Nightster 1200, but it needs a voltage regulator and a stater, I think I can fix it but idk, I just bout it for 4k has 9200 miles and only got like 60 miles on it before it broke on me. I live in PA and Hanuums is close to me but they are so dam expensive and the last bike I put in they had for almost a month before I got it back.

[@shanetowne6530]

The belt or chain was on my mind from the start. Is it really $6,000 for the turbo?

[@alteregokungus]

Love that the chase bike is an old goldwing

After years of Ultras and Road Glides I moved to my 2020 RKS. No screen, no tech, simple simple and I love it. Tech becomes antiquated quickly. Went on an interstate ride with a bunch of new riders on their Road Glides and Street Glides and they spent more time fiddle fartin around with their screens than they did riding. That tech has zero to do with the ride. If you need to know where you're going, try a map! I love my one-gauge bike and frankly, I don't even need my speedo. After 30 years on Harleys' I know how fast I'm going from inputs from my machine and the environment. Good intro man. Simple is best. Enjoy the "Ride".

Just got a harley davidson Iron 1200 2 weeks ago and now that i see this i really want to put a turbo on it

[@Christopher-kv2ey]

I'm in massachusetts. Got a 08 zx10r if your ever in the area we should meet up and see what that road king is capable of. Would love to see it in person and love the content you put out.

[@TTTTTTT4]

Sean when is the WLA video coming? I’m pumped to see the progress/completion?

[@Srkcycles]

wldr coming soon

[@noidontthinksolol]

the torque and hp are the same because they are low revving bikes. if your torque tops out between 4900 and 5400 then the max torque and hp will be fairly identical Having less doesnt mean you will be slower. a 50ft lb bike with 200hp at a gazzillion rpm will be just as fast as a 400 ft lb bike with 200 hp at 2-3k rpm The high rpm bike will probably be faster off the line because not a single road tire can put 200hp down at low speed and from a dig Not to mention it will be significantly lighter because the motors of high rpm machines tend to be allot lighter than torquey engines. you`re gonna cook the heads on those aircooled motors though if you do some significant pulls with that thing.

[@reptilez13]

It does still weight 800lbs without rider tho yea? Id be curious to see hp/weight numbers compared to some other bikes

[@Ruscapone]

Buddy! You are back!?!? Great! Good speaking to ya!!

[@dennispatterson3085]
