Why my 200 HP Road King latest mod is not what I expected

[@rspapabear9629]

Hey @Sean, go talk to Jamie or Aaron over at Moonshine Harley. HP is what they do. They can get 160+ hp out of a 131" (without a turbo) and can build up to a 149" if you wanted to go that insane.

[@Firestorm637]

It’s takes a lot of money to make a lot of horsepower after you purchased a bike. Way cheaper to buy horsepower from the factory on stock bike. For what Harley charges, Stage 2-4 should come stock from the factory already installed.

[@cknorris3644]

That's why I stopped buying Harleys. Once you get past the name you realize you get the least for your money when you buy a Harley.

I don't think you should've went with the SE 131. I wouldn't be too confident in hitting 200 hp with just a turbo. MHP 131 with +1.5 heads, 66mm intake manifold, ward 550, and MHP pro stock exhaust makes mid 160s for hp and mid 150s for torque. MHP builds 131, 135, 139, and 143 CI M8s. They have built streetable 143s with over 180 hp. Throw in a Star Racing 615 race cam and you may not need a turbo. I highly suggest you look Into them.

[@pewtersporty]

Moonshine does great work. Most is overkill for what small gains are there past a typical build. No return for the $$$ for most of it. Can get 160 out of a good built 124/128 with no need for case boring, no oversized valve heads ( m8 doesn't need huge valves outside the huge displacement builds). Looking at $20k to build a 175hp m8 vs $10-12K for a 160 hp build. I got about $10k in 157hp 124" and be around $12k if I did bottom end.

[@theoldman8877]

What I learned tuning motorcycle engines is. Every speed part both gives and takes away . You gain top end you lose low-end torque you gain low in torque you lose top in you get a strong mid-range you lose both low end and top end power . Very few changes increase across the board . And I also discovered a lot of speed parts that were no better than stock and in some cases not as good . One thing that always caused improvement was making the entire package lighter if it does not break . If you want that Harley to go fast get rid of the barn door on the front put a small close fitting aero fairing on there and get rid of the Wings or speed brakes off the back (bags) . All surfaces facing the wind cost speed has to all surfaces dragging air behind them .

[@forkthepork]

It needs it, to keep up with real bikes like a Ninja 400...

[@BikesandBeards]

pretty sure in a straight line i could keep up with a ninja 400 now haha

[@Ronaldl2350]

Lol!

[@gorillamoto5329]

You don’t take it to HD for power. Moonshine or Zipper’s Performance puts out power routinely. HD seems to push parts, then gives you a mild build.

[@williamrose8944]

I would of used the Star 3/4 cam , I've seen 124 engines with more hp & tq ..

[@shayneharder797]

George Bryce for the win. Call him up.

[@pebear]

Do the Heads with some monster valve space then look for different pipes that would complement a top notch valve job. I would do that before boost.

[@Szlejer]

After all the upgrades it fails to get even close to the performance of a 20 year old, beat up Suzuki... Nice. I still hope you guys will reach the 200 HP mark for at least a couple seconds before the whole thing blows up. :D

[@quebird3108]

How about doing another video on buying a bike and getting the best deal? Your prices were WAY better than what I can find in the middle of the country. Many thousands!

[@BikesandBeards]

oh dang

[@scottlin777]

That would be interesting to see. Maybe some secretes (if there are any) on getting the best deals. Or the dealers that do have the best deals?

[@one-of-us9939]

Let's go Brandon!💌🤣

[@brandonfetty9499]

Man, those v rods are incredible... In my eyes, b&B's Achieve's greatness in everything they do no matter what. Also, I wonder what bike Harley Brandon sleeps on in the dyno room lol 😆

[@jeffh278]

Let’s Go Brandon, you can do it!!! 200hp here we come

[@RSPYT]

We definitely don’t call it a rolling road in England lol. It’s called a Dyno here.

[@ut90J]

90 HP for an 800 LB bike?! Ninja 400 has a better power to weight ratio than that thing. Ouch! glad to see you putting some ponies in it. The torque figure stock is quite impressive though I will say that much.

[@kylew4678]

How come you haters always ignore torque? You can’t even calculate HP without knowing the torque numbers. It’s actually repugnant. You come off repugnant with that.

[@dukeljk2191]

Itd a cruisers not a race bike lol.

[@t.s.racing]

Jared, you're making a fool of yourself, h.p. is a calculation. The SLOWEST of my 3 Dyna's make more TORQUE at 2300 r.p.m., than my BUILT HAYABUSA does at 9500 r.p.m. You shouldn't talk about what you don't understand.

[@jamestaylor6988]

Love this channel hope you get a ROCON SOON

[@LonesomeNomad137]

Poor Dyna operator has to be named “Brandon”, “Let’s Go Brandon.

[@LonesomeNomad137]

How ? What’s the number? Or the platform

[@michaelmugo247]

Your channel introduced me to many bikes I didn't know about

[@trevordyer2124]

I know the problem, you’re using harley parts 😂 if you went with s&s or fueling parts you’d be well over 150hp without the turbo kit

[@terrallputnam7979]

I toured the old Harley Davidson plant in York, PA. They had two Dyno rooms where a guy got to test ride every new Harley assembled at that plant. It was so cool!

[@dalejones4322]

If I had paid the astronomical cost to have this work done with this result, I would have been very disappointed. The uncertainty of the outcome seems odd to me but I know near nothing about this. So take my ignorance with a grain of salt.

[@boofingenthusiast]

That’s why you don’t get tunes at dealerships lol.

[@seanmartin2382]

Great Job guys!!!!!! Don't ruin the bike though...my RK has an Ultima 140 and updated 6 speed and makes just a little more power when I had it tuned for the Freedom 2-1 exhaust that I put on and its a handfull in anything other than perfect conditions...Harley branded touring tires immediately got swapped for avon venoms and I am as wide as my swingarm allows on the rear. I would honestly swap back to a mild evo just to open up more ride time. I can't let anyone throw a leg over mine, even if I wanted to.

[@heithwatkins]

Just buy a Yamaha V MAX.

[@andrewbloedow8691]

First mistake was going with HD. S&S is where you need to go if you want the big numbers.

[@Sabahes_ASMR]

You guys should get ahold of Blockhead. He has done amazing things with Harleys.

[@tbthedozer]

Once you’ve done your high HP build on the HD maybe try this again with a Triumph Rocket III. 😁

[@LostinFrance626]

This is going to be cool, I’ve always wanted to set a land speed record on a chopper or a bagger. I’m in engine performance and Dyno @ MMI right now so if you do want to set the world record let me know.🙂

[@keithparr8880]

Moonshine Harley-Davidson!! Power without a turbo

[@CanAmXTP]

Get rid of that SE exhaust and put on a Red Thunder system...guaranteed higher numbers than what you currently have!

[@christophervaldes5155]

The cats in that exhaust and that "elephant snout" intake are killing the power numbers. But, since you're going turbo, both of those go away anyways. I can't wait to see the turbo numbers and the time slips when you get kicked off the track!

[@pault4513]

I believe its a calculated hp tool that rotates a flywheel in a certain amount of time There are also absorption dynos that use water or electricity with load cells that creates the resistance of the rolling force of the roller thats measured by the load cell that converts the calibrated travel of a potentiometer that give the calculated hp force needed to move the load cell a certain amount Such as a clayton or taylor dyno that i operated during my career

[@USARAY1947]

Calculated HP dynos (DynoJet) usually give higher HP numbers than dynos that actually load the rear wheel.

[@KCadbyRacing]

Replying on both comments here. This dyno does have load control (eddy brake) but Dynojet (software) doesn't use the load control during normal HP pulls.

[@KCadbyRacing]

@@USARAY1947 Funny thing about that, it isn't the lack of load that makes Dynojet read higher (I believe it's the software). I have operated five Dynojet dynos, two 200i and three 250i (I recorded over 16,600 run files on them) so I can say with 100% certainty that 1: the 200 (older model) reads as much as 20Hp higher than the 250 and 2: my 250i actually reads HIGHER when I used load control during the pulls (18Hp higher on the last ZX14R I tuned)...

[@johnnyringorandomsubjects5707]

Hey Sean awesome video as always you need to go to Ocean City Maryland for bike fest starts September 13th to the 17th it would be cool to see you there I am going for the first time. I've been going to Ocean City Maryland for vacation ever since 1993 but this will be my first bike week would be cool to meet you guys

[@403punk3]

Finally, been waiting on this for a while now

[@life_behind_bars]

Did you put new injectors, and throttle body in it? The 131 probably comes with that I bet. Anyway really enjoyed the video, and definitely looking forward to more on the road king.

[@roadglide128]

Moonshine harley-davidson is doing some pretty slick things for big power !!

[@kellywilson8440]

If thats a Fitzgerald motorsports exhaust on your orange v-rod , They make them in my hometown Greenville ohio , Great vid !

[@keithkeitht5873]

You could go to Fitzgerald Motorsports and they could build you a 9 second V-Rod with no problem. My 2012 Muscle makes 130 HP with just F/M s hellraiser cams and a Daytona twin tech tuner and F/Ms sucker punch exhaust .

[@leoniekitchen5414]

Is the Road King belt or chain drive?

[@ozarkbagger1380]

Well your doing a turbo build so maybe that’s the way it will be until it gets the turbo. Cycle fanatics friends bike with a 131 wasn’t pulling good numbers until they took it to Daves shop and he got amazing numbers out of it compared to before. That’s where John takes his bikes I believe. Nothing against Brandon in any way I’ve just been impressed with the numbers Dave gets ha. I thoroughly enjoy the channel keep it up man!! I may be a bit envious but we know that’s not good😎

[@dr66ss396]

You need to talk to George Bryce at Star Racing. If anyone can get you 200 streetable horsepower, he can.

[@bumstead1383]

Have you discussed the warranty being voided or why all screaming eagle parts are used? So many better aftermarket options that make more power than SE.

[@davidclausner8220]

Need heads ported and intake ported. Can't just add fuel and lift and timing when ports are maxed.
