We install a new 135” Harley Davidson engine in a 2023 road glide

[@travisbickle131]

Thanks for the best harley content on the planet.

[@kruesioriginals]

Thank you

[@jerlaine1638]

Couldn't make ut to Rocky Point this year and I'm truly devastated if I'm honest. Everyone all I can say is he is NOT lying about Mexico

[@kruesioriginals]

It was wild

[@FishinFreak21]

Just wanna say thank you for starting up with these videos again I look forward to more

[@kruesioriginals]

Thank you for watching, there’s a lot more to come

[@lexustech48]

As a former Lexus technician, I can confirm most modern vehicles are built with ease of manufacturing in mind. The field technician/builder/DIYer gets to reverse monkey engineer it to make repairs or mods happen.

[@gascan_productions]

😂 💯

[@kruesioriginals]

100% accurate

[@geraldgoodiii6993]

Yup. Screw the guy fixing the issues

[@someusername121]

Can comment with Honda that you can tell they at least gave some thought to making common service things accessible.

[@Starship007]

I moved to Arizona in 1990 in July, record 124 degrees.

[@serpentbourn138]

You are building a Frankenstein beast! (In fact, I hear that Frankenstein song in my head when I see you working on this monster). Every bike you build is the sickest bike you've ever built, and you know what? I believe it!! Build on Doctor! Next time you are wrenchin on this thing, crank some Edgar Winter- Frankenstein...it fits!!

[@tobinlakeguideservices]

After watching the headache of working on that, what a great reason to save $25,000 - $30,000 grand and stay with late evolution and early Twin Cams

[@kruesioriginals]

I agree

[@tobinlakeguideservices]

@@kruesioriginals 👍 enjoy your content. As a older guy I can relate to your comments on the old rider ways and things that used to go on. I also have my share of scare tissue and stainless hardware in my body. I sure would like to try stunting but I think I would fall apart lol

[@jobertvangool9961]

Single handed, alone at my garage, I pulled my 95” out of my ‘02 FXDX and forgot the wiring clip on the bottom of the crank case, had to hold it with one arm reaching for my leatherman with my left hand, bent it and walked away with the engine, took the pucker factor through the roof.😂

[@cannavangelic]

That blue painting tape has saved my "dumb f*ckery" multiple times, when doing mods to my 2021 Street Bob. (My wind therapy machine).

[@buckgraham9195]

bro I would of been swearing and smashing stuff! you did well recognizing it was time to stop! much love brother and don't give up, we love you!!! ❤

[@carlhadaway5292]

Loving the content, I secretly miss wrenching. I never thought I would say that after spending most of my life as a mechanic. Much respect from the UK

[@shawnjoseph7522]

Guess it's not a secret anymore..d**ch

[@kruesioriginals]

It definitely gets in you

[@CH-eg7kr]

That long hair guy really knows how to grab a crank.

[@jimf1450]

Good to see your efforts to do it without whoring shit up. Put SE manifold on my 2018 Road King, everything was Mikuni. I'd guess when M8s came out HD switched from Delphi.

[@kruesioriginals]

That’s wild mikuni is a very good product, so I’m for it

[@LynnTwinCustoms513]

Dude you man handled that M8 just like you did my mom

[@GidDree]

I miss her cooking 🤔😥

[@cobysgarage3085]

If your cool with a mechanic at buddy stubs ask him to borrow the head temp tool you don’t need to buy one until you borrow it twice

[@kruesioriginals]

😎 I already had and can’t find it so I bought a new from snap on

[@davidkuenzel]

Brother you better tell everyone to grab a wrench a lend a hand that's what homies being around is for🤘

[@scrapbingarage9226]

M8's are such a pain to pull. Heavy, crank sensor will always get you. I found pulling the oil filter really seemed to help. Angle heads out, pull up, twist and out. back breaker....

[@scrapbingarage9226]

Having the lift all the way down too. Fingers in the exhaust ports and use the knees to tilt her in.

[@garyrosenquist4071]

Awesome build. That bikes gna be a beast and so are you.

[@bobberguy1]

A 117 plus $5,000 will kick this 135's ass.

[@scottwyatt3692]

Bruh a 103 TC with 5 grand could smoke that 135 😂

[@bobberguy1]

@@scottwyatt3692 True. I've dyno tested a dozen 135 crate engines. HD claims 130 hp/143 torque. Best I've gotten is 126 hp/138 torque.

[@garyrosenquist4071]

Ive got thev 103 in my '15 Fatboy and put Woods 222, 2 into 1 and a tuner and I'm at near 100hp. That 103 has alot of potential especially w/ some top end work. Kruesi is still a beast.

[@johndcunninghamjr4111]

This is another reason I don't want one of the new Harley's, much harder to work on and I could never afford to play someone to work on it. I'll just keep my 100th FXDX I can work on it myself and if needed I can pay someone to fix it. It may be 21 years old but it's not bad to work on.

[@michaellanglie5502]

Proved your point, the bikes that HD currently builds are not engineered for the mechanic/ end user. Packing 10# of shit in a 5# frame.

[@patrickkem689]

Hi ya Bro, First time viewer,,,no expert not even a rider, Just a lover and respecter of the bike,,,my question to you,,, Would some good vinyls tape on the heads help prevent high profile Scratches and marks,, like I said I don’t know Jack or shit,,,just lover of the bikes. But if it helps in anyway,,,right on! Ride well!

[@Johnclark300]

Everything made in Japan is made with pure quality, that's something Harley Davidson can't do, build a decent bike that doesn't over heat or blow itself apart in a thousand pieces. That's why I ride a 2023 Honda gold wing

[@scooterscat3309]

As a Oregonian i can confirm I'm sitting in front of my woodstove.

[@kruesioriginals]

There’s nothing better than wood heat

[@jmead6121]

Dangit man Harley Like so many other manufactures cut shit to short when only sometimes 1/4" to 2" makes all the frigging Difference for after it leaves The factory ..but look @ all the Monies they saved by cutting Things Short

[@jordancoleman2718]

The guys at moonshine lift these engines like its nothing! I thought Ryan was a stout ole boy.

[@kruesioriginals]

😂😂 I bet they didn’t have 2 disc replaced in there neck last year.

[@mrchopboogie]

Dang, I was gonna say you have to pull the primary & trans or pull top end down to get M8’s out.

[@kruesioriginals]

Definitely do

[@Starship007]

That 135 is cool. Leading edge in Phoenix offers a 159. Do you know anyone that has checked out the 159? You could make a Great KZbin video in the future on the 159? Definitely the largest Harley motor still air cooled

[@kruesioriginals]

No thank you

[@zachthomas8985]

Mr kruesi, when is a position opening up at the shop???!!

[@VLNSWW]

Gotta get June to stop stabilizing so much of the footage to get it from warping your image so much. Cheers love the vids.

[@kruesioriginals]

Thanks for the tip!

[@markdurham7046]

So looking forward to do my 135 swap

[@kruesioriginals]

It’s great

[@RobertPerez001]

I welded a nut to the end of a socket for the head temp sensor.

With that heavy breathing, you basically gave birth to a 135” road glide 😂( I couldn’t lift it)

It felt like it

[@Travyslife]

Do you work on Victories what the price?

I do not work on those, sorry

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Ryan now i know why you said in my comment that your motor of choice is a 95" twin cam.....caise its 100lbs lighter than any M8 motor and a ton easier to pull from the frame.....lol. Shit man that 135 is gonna be bad ass...hopefully u guys gonna put a hotrod cam in it

[@kruesioriginals]

Eventually we will make real nasty

[@Starship007]

Stressed motor part of frame so easy to remove on other competitors.

[@apacheapache8629]

Lmfao lost a day to figure out you had to pull the Trans to get the motor out...

[@alpinestar1123]

I thought you were giving birth to a set of twins Jesus.

[@Pompomgrenade]

I would like to give credit to the Harley-Davidson engineers, somehow those idiots managed to fit variable valve timing in an air cooled push rod operated V-Twin .... Truly variable valve timing in a world war one engine design that's retarded genius!

[@EARDRUMASSASSIN]

The vvt m8 is liquid cooled and air cooled.

[@kruesioriginals]

I haven’t gotten into that motor, I would doubt that it’s actual valve timing, my guess they are just advancing timing and calling it valve timing, so the stage builders think they have something!! I do won’t to check one out and see how it ticks.

[@oldninjarider]

LOLz, lots of work for 126HP. I'll pass.

[@willyafg]

126hp? U can get 150+ with these. Blockhead got 150 with his 131

[@kruesioriginals]

Not a stock 131

[@thomasmiller1364]

When it comes to manufacturing, Harley-Davidson is kinda like electricity … it’s lazy! Just like electricity looking for the path of least resistance …😅

[@kruesioriginals]

They came up with lots of resistance with this design

[@sgtstadanko880]

bigger the motor the more crap they do to reduce vibration. First it was rubber mounts, then it was counter balancers. Now its counter balancers and rubber mounts.... Thats just full retard. The saying no replacement for displacement is BS on motorcycles. cams and heads would make like 70% of people happy and not make the bike hotter...

[@kruesioriginals]

Amen

[@k9callicoat520]

Lol you talk to much about why you haven’t done things. Just do it already lol take the motor out

[@roadglide1142]

It’s really not 1/2 as bad as you’re making it to be . 🙄

[@Pompomgrenade]

It's going to be awesome! 🐒 Indeed! I hope somebody did flow work on those heads to justify the fancy intake and fueling from Mikuni 🪄

It’s Harley I’m sure they did
