Awesome man! Thanks for watching. That was a fun build. I’m ready to do another one like it 😂

😮😮 that is insane!! Sounds like a good time

Very nice quality! I have an S&S plate and pump set aside for when I do my personal build. But anything is better than stock when doing a build this big.

Mind blown! Huge fan. Thanks for watching.

@@GilstrapGarage Youre welcome bud. Getting good and accurate information out there is always a good thing. Thanks for following. All the best to you sir.

Much appreciated! Thank you

Thanks Danny!

Thanks for watching! Congratulations on the bike. Enjoy it and ride safe! What bike did you get?

@@GilstrapGarage thank you sir! I ended up with a 2021 Sportster 48 with the Turquoise tank.

@@Boasandpythons nice! The last EVO engines that will be made 😢

It’s a lot of work to get to these ones compared to some of the older bikes. But they hold up good

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks man! Sometimes it’s best for everyone and everything if you just walk away for a little bit lol

Hell yeah! Much appreciated man 🙌🏻

It is so much easier! Thanks for watching

Damn that’s a reliable build, I’d like to do a big bore on my m8 but I’m not sure how well it might hold up.

@@dextersuarez9948 I’ve never personally built an m8 yet. But they are GREAT for bolt on power. The M8s are notorious for sumping issues and tappet hold downs breaking. But all that can easily be fixed when you do the build. Even a simple cam intake and exhaust can wake that motor up 30hp There’s some companies out there selling huge ci kits out there

Much appreciated! Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Or just get an fjr 1300 and have 150 HP 165 MPH "bagger" that'll go 200,000 miles right out of the box and be done with it.

Thank you!

They were supplied from S&S with the kit. I followed their specs where it was necessary

The feedback is much appreciated! I don’t plan on giving up on it. My life revolves around Harleys why not record it lol, it adds a little time to everything to pull out the camera and try to find the right angles, but I’m usually pretty happy with the results 😃

Check out my “how to change oil on a dyna” video labeled with the S&S 110 break in and I put a clip in there of it running. I never did get any dyno numbers for it though. What are you thinking about doing? There’s a lot of good options for that engine

You've got the Timken bearing in that model which means it's a great candidate for gear drive cams. No more cam tensioner worries and perfect timing😊 I put gear drive in my 01 FXDX and love it

he sold the bike when the El Diablo ST came to the market. But other than that, the bike ran great from my understanding. If you want the most HP you can squeeze, then go with the 110. if you want a little bit more reliability with some great HP gains, go with the 107

Yupp. 10.5:1 is kind of my comfort zone. Good luck with the build and Enjoy that thing! Thank you for watching

It was all powder coat, it holds up against the heat really well. Thanks for watching! Let me know if I can help with anything else

Thanks for the info! Will go to my local powder coater to find out their options. Thanks again & I may use your expertise in the future with my build...not feasible to send bike over from Aus. unfortunately 😞

@@willybwright5427 I’ll help with what I can 🤙🏻

I used Instagram to promote my work in the beginning. It was a lot of friends and family stuff in the beginning, but then the word of mouth is what really kicked it off. Keep it consistent for a year, and by then you’ll be as busy as you want to be 🤘🏻 As far as parts, I would typically order things for the customers. That way I knew what would fit and what wouldn’t. I had one customer who was very specific with that he wanted, and he ordered all his own parts. But I typically likes to order the parts

So if you’re going to build it to the level we built it, I think your costs will be pretty much the same as buying a crate engine. The 110 kit is good for bike that you know the bottom end is solid on. The customer had already bought parts before I had a chance to check it. Down side of the crate motor, HD has patents on their twin cam cases, and S&S isn’t able to offer a bolt on twin cam case. You have to machine your oil pan and run lines to it, or machine your brand new engine.

You can overkill it very easy, I kind of feel like that’s what happened with this bike, but it’ll basically be indestructible haha. It’s trask basket with rekluse plates, and a fuel Moto variable pressure plate

I wish I wad the tooling to do it myself. Aaand my welds are sub par to say the least 🤣 I actually drive them out to a guy on the border of CA,NV,and AZ he has a shop in the back of his house. Phenomenal work

And thank you for watching 🙌🏻 it is much appreciated

No I do not. All I did was start it for 1 minute, and let it cool. I did that a few times and checked for leaks in between. And then I let it idle up to operating temperature and cool down twice before the first ride.

Buy a book and follow every measurement!

It’s not CP typically making that claim. It’s the companies selling the kits, saying they have them set. I never trust that though, that’s why I check every one before install. I’ve never had to cut a ring yet though.

I will be doing it on the side, just how I do it now. I work a full time job and keep this as a hobby so I don’t get burnt out on it. I wish I could play music like that with these videos, but KZfaq flags my videos if I do 😔

It started as a stock 103 and we did the 110 big bore kit on it

I have not had the chance to do any engine work on an m8 yet, but I’m waiting for the day haha

@@GilstrapGarage are you in California? I'm in kern County maybe you can work on mine

@@coletrickle6099 I’m in Victorville. 30 min south of Barstow. Let’s set it up 👊🏻✊🏻

@@GilstrapGarage that's not bad! I'm thinking of doing cam, cam plate , oil pump, I just don't know what springs to use cause I kinda want a fat cam but don't want to go to crazy that I'll have to get into other parts of the motor

@@coletrickle6099 hit me up on Instagram @ GilstrapGarage where we can either shoot some DMs back and fourth, or I’ll give you my number and I can help you choose a cam based on your riding style, and what you want to achieve for your engine’s performance.

You can see that chain kickin up oil and haulin ass! Haha. It’s pretty rad. We got a custom map made from FM (who the tuner and parts were ordered through) and then it got dialed in on a dyno later

Nahh man, it’s not noisy at all. My personal 103 on the other hand is very noisy. It always has been since I bought it new, but a simple cam amplified it. I installed rocker lockers, different pushrods, and different lifters, and I can still hear it. It’s quieter, but it’s still there

Lol yeah I do. I can’t get my wife to stick around in the garage that long though 🤣

I’m referring to the Clymer repair manual. It has all the Specs for tear down and assembly

Thanks man love your channel because you are real and not in so fancy shop!

@@ryanburton72 awesome man, thank you. I love hearing stuff like that. But honestly I hope to be in a big fancy shop one day 🤣

I always make sure all my threads are clean before I put anything back together. I had about 3 hours combined in to chasing threads on this bike.

@@GilstrapGarage still need to be lubricated to while tightening

@@jerryhubbard4461 I put a light coat of oil on the head bolts and studs. Nearly Everything else gets locktite, and I don’t mix the two. I haven’t have a bolt back out yet.

@@GilstrapGarage The reason I made that statement is so many people do not know what torque is on a nut or bolt. It is the stretching of the threads that give the bolt torque. Without lubrication, you can not put enough tension on the bolt to make it stretch. That is where the lubrication comes in. That is another reason some engines require new un-torqued bolts and never use the old ones again. Most people don't know that if you can turn a nut all the way up the threads of a bolt, it has not been torqued. If the nut stops over half the way up the threads, it has been torqued. My engineering class says any lubrication will work to make the bolt torque. Lock=tite is one that will help as a lubicant but I still use some oil at the beginning. JS

@@jerryhubbard4461 you can actually over torque by doing that on things that don't call for it. like harley engines....

TO be honest, i never got the information from him after he tuned it.

I never have, but it would be a pretty straight forward swap. What year/model dyna are you working with? And what year is the FL front end off of?

@@GilstrapGarage have an 01 Dyna. Have been told different things about the FL's that will and won't fit.

@@raymondwalls3154 you’ll just have to make sure that you run a wheel off an FL model as well so you get the correct spacing. And if you don’t have dual disk now, you’ll have to get an 11/16 master cylinder so you can power the brakes. If you do the swap, im in the market for 39mm for lowers, so let me know!

Great question. Before we started the project, the customer had ordered all his own parts, and we had no clue what the run out was. When I tore the bike down, it was at about 5 thou, and I told him that’s right at the limit I would consider not running a billet cam plate and pump. That’s when we came to the decision to split the case and true the crank, and that’s why we didn’t run gear drive cams.

“No club colors no soft colors no weapons allowed” but I crossed out “no” on everything. It was a trophy of mine I “got” from a casino durning the Laughlin river rally

I’m out of Omaha NE. If it’s something you’re interested in doing shoot me a DM on Instagram @gilstrapgarage and we can go over what you wanna do and about what it will cost

This was the first 110 I’ve installed. It’s been running great since the customer took it back. What problems are you referring to?

We had them ported and wedged, cut for larger valves, and changed the springs to compensate for the woods 999 cam

Not sure what to make of that man, typo possibly? Lol I’d like to be able to help answer your question

It depends on how much you need done and how crazy you want to go. Do you want the crank welded and trued? Do you want crank work? The options are limitless lol. Shoot me an e-mail b.gilstrap@yahoo.com I’ll be happy to help you figure it out and get you a quote accordingly.

If I remember correctly it was something like 115/130
