I never liked stainless steel fasteners. They will gall easily and inherently have less tensile strength than a good high carbon steel fastener. But customers would insist on them anyway.

Word Brother!!

It is there for a reason

Chains simply suck. Unless you have to have one run.

KB your the man on Outstanding info..! Stay Bless.

Whoever did the cam install etc.. didn’t have a clue.

It’s…… shouldn’t look like that, interesting.

Well, that's like all these people that phone me up and email me, and they say would you mind doing short survey for us? and I'm like sure do you have an invoice number for me so I can send you a bill? AND, that's when they tehy usually laugh or choke or cough and tell you that they want you to do it for free. Then I usually reply that my time is valuable, and I usually like to spend it with my family, not supporting some corporation's bottom line supplying data for their sales algorythm and A.I..... But I'm always available for consultation at $140.00/hr if they're still interested. Usually they're not.... and I no longer get phone calls or emails from them anymore. which is great! LOL!😊

You move REALLY FAST when you’re not talking and only making that squeaky sound. 🤔

Great video, gives me even more to consider. Especially when I thought the cam was supposed to be considered a "first mod," when upgrading your motor. You just made my head explode again. Lol

I have only recently found your channel and quickly subscribed. You certainly know your stuff and do a simple but precise breakdown of what you're doing, what to look for, and have given me the confidence to know that I CAN do my own work on my bike (to a certain extent) if I just take a deep breath and follow your lead. Thanks again.

Kevin, not sure if you can give me a route to explore. Stock 107 2018 M8 Softail, just under 50k miles. No issues until about 2 weeks ago when I was on a trip. Now using about 1/2qt of oil every 400 miles, about double what it was going through. Getting good amount of oil in air cleaner in addition to showing signs of ash on the spark plugs. Shop I stopped at thinks the breathers in the heads are bad. Power feels good, fuel mileage pretty normal, other than fighting headwinds

There's so many reasons I love your channel. The next time I'm in the States I'll happily spend hours looking for you missing box of bits just so I can look around your shop with your approval. The needle wiggle triggered me a bit. A radiused indent in your mushroom of just greater radius than the shaft being measured would reduce it, assuming it would stay aligned and wouldn't spin... Love your work.

What a quality product 25 k miles and failed what a joke

Harley’s are truly garbage overpriced slow and have been come a joke ,30k miles and that’s what you get for your money

Scopes on a Harley. I have a 4 channel Micsig I use for equipment diagnostics. I definitely want to scop my bike to get known good captures of the signals on my 23 ST SG. Nobody is doing this that so know of but it’s common practice in the automotive world. I’m interested in synching up the crank notch to MAP readings while idling for tuning purposes.

I cured my Harley heat problem........I bought a Honda Valkyrie.

My 2013 110 screaming eagle did similar as this one . They found roller lifters in the same as those , crank bearings bad , wrist pins were tight . All at 34000 miles .

What is your recommendation for an 06 Road glide with S&S 124

So what is the down fall on the early one? Dark Hoarse doesn’t offer a early style one? Thanks

Evolution... Absolutely NO Question.

I solved the problem of winter storage. I sold my car and ride year round. But I’m in south central USA, so the winters don’t last very long.

Every time I watch you’re videos it just confirms that Harley’s are a dumpster fire

Kevin I know you’re a busy man, but I value your opinion greatly. Thus said do you believe there is any advantage to having a external breather system on a twin cam ?

Several BMWs are documented to have gone over a million miles with zero issues.

Very interesting video, I have a 2018 M8 and learned alot about this engine from watching. Only thing I would suggest is that you talk through steps in the process for instance do's and don'ts when tearing down and specifics, ie tools, measurements, bolt patterns, torques etc during the rebuild. Would love to see the rebuild.

50k not that bad on a performance build, of course we want more. I'm sure I would be looking for more by then😂

As a retired mechanic, hat had a small bike repair shop, I here you Kevin !!

The lifters always tell you they're gonna give up right? Always a tapping right?

Bro. I told a family member the same thing and they didn't get it. We live in a world of 10 Gazillion genders. I worked 20 hour days 5 days a week and my wife at the time didn't understand it. My advice. Voicemail 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You job is repair, build. Not babysitting and coddling. Good post.

With all respect I feel I must point out one fact and it doesn't have anything to do with what you do but rather it is the fact that you used a thumbnail from a movie that I am certain I am not alone saying this so I will put it like this it is my opinion that you should watch the movie "The Goonies" because even though I understand it was an actor that played the part but that carecture was not only a good man but he was a hero and a friend. I insist that you take no disrespect from my opinion because it is just that my opinion and I also appreciate your videos and thank you for posting them sincerely.

There is a difference between a technician and a mechanic.

Dunlop/Phil great job thank you.

Putting a bike on and off a lift always gave me anxiety, so I came up with a great way for me. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a small electronic winch with a wireless remote, I hooked it on the front of the lift. On the end of the cable I have a short SS bar that I bolted straps to. Those straps strap on tho the engine guard of my RK, I have Velcro on my turn signal housing and the remote, I fasten the remote to the housing and I have complete control of the winch with my left thumb. My lift is wide enough for my feet so I can easily and slowly under control put my bike on and off the lift. This has worked great for years, I think I paid 50.00 for the winch and 50.00 for the battery.

Another great video👍. A point not discussed is that since a belt is run much tighter than a chain there is far less lash in the driveline, this makes a bike much nicer to ride when you are constantly on and off the throttle, like on a twisty road. Also FWIW a belt change is MUCH easier on a Sportster as the primary doesn't have to come off.

How many episodes?

As tradesman, i find myself often quoting my long gone father, to customers. "You aren't paying for the hour it took me to do this job. You are paying for the decades it took me to be able to do this job in an hour". Thanks for yer vids.

Great video Kevin.

🙋‍♂️ 88 twin cam of course

A chain needs to be lubricated and after a few thousand miles it becomes a big mess. 😢

Please trim your moustache.😮

Liking my evo more with each video. I wont get there first, but ill get there, ha!

Don Performance in Germany also advised that M8s like to have a CAT for performance gains.Im thinking about camming ny new RKS but keeping the stock header and hust using my KW 4.5inch slip ons.Is there a need to change the oil pump and cam plate?(inner cam bearing,lifters and pushrods will be changed).

We need that 5 minute story on why you don’t want to know who worked on the bike last

Time is money and time you can't get back 100%

The one you don’t buy

Whats the difference between a Harley and a Hoover??.the position of the dirt bag...😂

Hello from California

Would it be wise to upgrade your compensator as well?, curious..
