How worried are you about heat transfer warping in the heads? I know the side walls are flirting with being too thin on the 131.

Got over 3,000 miles on this big bore in all types of riding conditions. It is freaking fast and a total blast if you can ride it above the 3,500 rpm range. Con: the engine and exhaust will get very hot and you want to be moving above 50 mph to keep it cooled down. Not the way to go if riding in city streets with many red lights or stop -n- go traffic.

The bike was dropped off for the 131 kit *before* we put it up against the 110, so it was happening before that, lol. Build schedule got pushed back though, so I picked the bike up and thought it’d be good to do a comparison video on it w the 114 since I had so many requests for it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Man, he makes it look so easy. Definitely impressed. Can’t wait to see you tearing around on that beast.

This is my favorite video you've done this year. Thanks so much for this!

Super glad this channels is expanding awesome to see you spoiling yourself man.

I really like the "Go Navy" sticker on his tool boxes. Seems like a great guy there. Knows his stuff!!

Dude is cool be patient and showing you all this.

I’m glad I found this channel as live in Seminole county and you are doing all research and mechanics for me. 👍🏻

This is exciting to watch as i am waiting for my 131 Kit to come in. mine is going into my 2018 114 Heritage. cant wait. this is so cool to watch. the tech is so cool to watch and actually enjoys explaining stuff. cant wait to see part 2.

That thing is gonna rip! I've done stage 2 cam in both of my 17 SGS and 18 Heritage, and that is a massive change, but this motor in that light bike WOW. Thanks for the vid dude

Most excited for this video than any others block. Very happy for you. 🤘

Man its crazy how harley has essentially kept the blue print on the engines the same for so long, I had to do major engine work on my shovelhead and im telling you its basiclly the same process just newer parts inbetween

Love your videos and channel!!! Since finding your channel you've brought the feeling of wanting a motorcycle again to the surface so thank you!! My wife says thank you also, however hers is usually done with an eye roll 🙄!! Keep up the great work and thanks for inspiring a whole new generation of riders!!

Awesome video. Always cool watching someone who is a master at their craft. Pretty humbling for us typical diy home mechanics.

Awesome! Can’t wait for part 2.

This was / is one of your best vids... Very Awesome! G

Awesome can’t wait to see it finished. 👍🏼👍🏼 for the shop playlist.

Yes ethanol vid. When I took my 85 Yamaha virago apart the fuel lines and filters had a varnish from ethanol the filter had a gunk of it looked like pond scum. I’ve only ever ran ethanol free she’s old and picky on gas

That Gentlemen. Was a privilege to watch! Thank you for the share!

I could listen to mechanic all day. Very informative..

This guy makes it look sooo easy. BEAST MODE!!!

I had mine upgraded to 117 Stage 3 it’s a rocket ship, that’s going to be insane. Congrats.

I would bet that 131 upgrades will see a jump after this video. Great video and awesome tech!

Props to the MechTech ... it was a treat to watch him work. Thanks for doing this video series .... cheers

Gotta respect a shop that runs Lagwagon in the background 👌🏻

This has me so stoked

That is what you call a mechanical artist.

Okay now actually watched the whole vid,it was interesting wow that dude sure knows what he's doing,was not expecting to like seeing this process so much

I’m going to sell my Apple stock just to do that build. Awesome, thank you for the content.

I'm no mechanic... wish I was... but these vids, taking us along for an inside look of the work you u had done to your bike is really cool, even for someone who has no idea what I'm lookin at and pretty sure y'all were speakin a different language. 🤣 Thanks for sharing this. Pretty awesome! 👍🏼

Blockhead, I seem to be following in your footsteps after following your channel.... Bought my first bike in Jan 2020 (Iron 883).... Traded in 2 weeks ago for a 2020 Low Rider S!

Notifications for this video didn’t work for me. I literally just laid down in bed so I’ll catch this one tomorrow. Congrats on the upgrade, look forward to checking it out! 😎👊🏼

That thing will be an absolute beast!!!

Great to see the guts of the bike!

That rubber band trick with the rods is great. never would have thought of that.

Man, that looked so cool to do. Really interesting to see as well.

Born on the Bayou! Poetry in Motion,thats Awesome!

Thought I was having a cam problem, but ended up being something else. Putting it back together I went with adjustable pushrods because, well, it saved a ton of money (I did upgrade the roller bearing though, like you did). My bike's an '09 FXDL and is my only bike so I can't afford to muck it up too much! Been a great bike since I got it. Have to test ride one on the Softail platform soon just to see.

131ci is bigger than the 4 banger I had in my turbocharged Talon...and that little sucker made over 400hp. Sitting on a 131ci bike motor must be a lot of fun!

You have to have Chris and some of the other techs in to get into the really technical questions in the near future. Keep up the great work!

This is awesome! Can't wait for the other episodes. Any Dyno comparisons?

After seeing that piston I printed a list of Non Ethanol stations, and ran around looking at them, not one near me or in my usual path. I guess aggressive cooling fan, because those huge cylinders will be hot (rear especially) at long rides.

GREAT VIDEO !!! Thx for sharing !!

11:30 best feeling in the world. first try feels amazing

Congrats !

Not at all jealous, enjoy it!

I enjoyed the video, thanks

Did both for a bit, much more fun working on bikes everyday. It does depend on the place you work at though. My cousin worked a few Harley dealers, the 1 he’s at now is cool, the other dealer sucked.

I thought the word tappet came from the days before the hydraulic lifter, back when they were solid lifters and made more noise.

128 kit incoming for my Street Bob. Lmao. I feel you.

This was...epic!

I've been pondering this kit, vs S&S 128, vs a good Stage II build, for my 2018 Heritage 114. I have seen Stage II get up to 130 FP and 120 HP (browse dyno charts on Fuel Moto). I have seen the 128 get up to 147 FP and 124 HP (check Moonshine H-D for a Softail 128 video). And then, we have the 131's advertised 134 FP and 124 HP (something like that, may be a few off with those numbers). On paper, the most expensive option only matches the power of the cheapest option, and loses to the middle-priced option. But what I am wondering is what happens if you take a 131, put on Fat Cat pipes, use a good cam, and Power Vision tune. Best I can tell, nobody knows, because the people buying 131 kits generally want to maintain their factory warranty so far. Guessing in a year or two, we'll have a lot more data, and see the true power of 131, but for now, it's a tough choice. Very interested to see how your build goes. Thanks for posting!

Quickie push rods will eliminate having to remove the heads at a later time . If you change your mind later a mechanic will cut off the pretty push rods just to make the job go by quicker

Got to have the power Brother 💯👍🏼

Super Duke 1290r still offers the largest mass produced piston bore of 4.25 inches vs Harley 4.31 inch bore. Big Bang for torque.

Avgas 100 LL creates Lead Salts. Very hard and abrasive. The reason aircraft engines are usually only rated for 2,000 hours of operation before overhaul is due to the excessive wear from leaded gas.

It’s crazy to install that engine with all that power and not upgrading the front and rear suspension first . Need to be able to control all that power . You should look into Ohlins . They have kits for the front and rear .

Insane 🤟🏻🤟🏻

Damn block I’m excited lol it’s not even my bike 😂

Did I see it right that the 107 goes to a 128? Might have to do that at some point.

What, no Brad the Wizard? I guess he's out of your area. :) Seems like straightforward work. Can't wait to see the results.

Awesome video

You'll be giggling like a 5"10' bearded girl forever in a day now😅😅, Thanks for the upload, seems like ages ago watching the Iron 883 stage 1 upgrades you did.

What you going to do with the air cleaner that you took off your bike guess it won’t fit the bigger throttle body? I know you will love the 131 kit love the videos keep them coming.
