Well...I'm still plugging away on my 46 Knuckle....been riding it since 1975....can't complain....

The funnest part of riding this bike is the sound it makes when you twist the throttle. It leaves me with permagrin for about an hour after I get off. It’s an addiction.

I have a 2019 M8 117ci., during a test ride. I noticed a bike ran smoother, cooler and had more power. A big improvement over the twin cam. I am impressed.

I started riding H-D’s as a teen on a ‘72 XLCH and I have to say they’ve really come a long way. This new M8 is my favorite engine by far. No more crank issues and the few issues they had with the engine thanks to the EPA have been addressed. I put over 100k on my TC96 before trading it in and am expecting this M8 to go just as far before a rebuild. We will see.

!0000K in 6 months on my 114 tirglyde...NOT ONE problem..and I ride hard..it pulls like a saturn rocket .. I LOVE this freaking bike...66 yrs old..50 yrs riding experience on all kinds of bikes

I really like my M8 107. Only had it about a month and a half but Im already hooked on it...

I just picked up a 17' road king with the 107. I love it. I had a dyna, vrod, and then 883. This is my favorite so far. Great bike

The m8 114 has a serious issue with the valves leaking. Oil goes into top of pistons and glazed bores at only 100 miles!! Beware of blue smoke on cold start! That’s the first sign

I just come back home from a trip to Colorado. I rented a a FLHTCU with a 107 m8. Loved it. It did everything I expected and more, got 48.9 mpg. Transmission made more noise than I thought it should make. Lot of gear whining. Overall l want one

this was excellent man. I have the heritage 114 and very happy with it. I cant imagine someone not liking it. good job on the presentation.

I just rode a 2016 dyna twin cam 103 with a stage 1 yesterday, followed by a 2018 slim, M8 107 with slip ons, and the power difference between those two bikes back to back was 🤯💥🇺🇸 drastic comes to mind. The entire ride quality, handling, feel, shifting, literally everything about the M8 slim was far superior to the twin cam dyna. I say that but I still wanted the dyna more! Go figure? It rumbled and shook, and sounded like an angry beast and I loved it!! Then I rode a ‘21 FXLRS with the 114, stock, left over from last year and I bought it!! Amazing bike in every way. IMO whatever that’s worth?

Awesome vid, thanks! I traded my 08 kick-ass blacked out springer with 16" apes which I still love btw, for a 19 Ultra Limited (YES, I'm getting old) and it was the best thing I ever did, no regrets. I cruise at 80, tunes cranking and hear them perfectly with extreme comfort and enough power to twist it and pass whoever I need to. I looked at Indian, BMW, etc. but just love the style of a HD better...

Sweet video. I love seeing the M8's go together at the factory. Thanks Block !!

This engine impresses me everytime I ride. Good vid as always

Thanks a lot for this nice video! I just bought a 2019 road glide 107ci and its a huge improvement over the 103ci Ultra Limited I had before. One thing you didn’t mention in your video is the primary drive on the M8 is much smoother than the twin cam bikes especially at low speed in second gear. It also seems like the primary chain case is narrower on the M8 than the twin cam but that might be my imagination. I’ve been riding 25 years, all kinds of bikes...Honda, Triumph, Yamaha, Harley...I’m very happy with my new M8.

Been riding Harleys since 1972. In the old days we didn’t buy bikes, we built them. Brought home my first Panhead in boxes. Had sportsters, pans, shovels, and twin cam. Just bought 2020 Breakout in Stiletto red. Best bike I’ve ever owned, blows all the others away. Most problems with engines can be traced back to the loose nuts behind the handlebars!

Love my '17 RK. Awesome power, and super easy riding.

I like how Harley eliminated all vibration. I used to own old Harley's and from my expirence those bikes were wrenched on alot due to over excessive vibration

The last bike I had was an ‘89 Yamaha VMax I sold in 96 or so. I moved to Florida and decided to get back into riding again. I’ve always wanted a Harley and have ridden a few of my friends and family members’ throughout the years and liked them. I bought an Iron 883 in January and three weeks later, I traded it for a Low Rider. One thing I noticed immediately was the lack of vibration relatively speaking and a nice amount of torque all the way through the power band. I’m really happy with it and have enjoyed having any excuse to ride it.

It took a little time for me to adjust to this motor, but it’s like I like it more and more every time I ride it. I went from 2015 SGS (103ci) to a 2017 Road King Special 107ci , and I love it.

Traded in my 06 Fat boy and 15 Street Glide Special on 19 Tri Glide 114 cc. The reduction in heat is the best. More torque and power. HD did their home work. This Milwaukee 8 is the best yet. Continually surprise the cagers at how quick I leave the light. Takes a little time to get use to the trike after 49 years on two wheels. Never took to my 08 Electra Glide Ultra. Couldn't get past the heat and the height center of gravity with a rider and the tour pack loaded.

72,000kms on my 2018 FLTRU M8, Not one problem with it...LOVE IT.

Awesome and well worded video . My 2018 FXLR Low Rider is the best I’ve ever had . ( I’ve owned 13 H-D’s in 43 years ; oldest was a 53’ FL panhead ) I do believe this is Milwaukee’s best effort - with only (2) complaints . 1.) I don’t agree with the placement of the factory installed oil cooler . This was a great addition to the engine , however it totally blocks the “ clean air “ to the front cylinder . I do believe that , like some aftermarket oil coolers on the market , it could have been catching its own clean air off to the left of the frame’s front down tube . This would have allowed the front cylinder to continue to receive its clean air as it always has . 2.) the brakes , although “ better “ , are very inconsistently set up . I have spoken to many a riders of this new softail . They ALL agree that the front brakes are too sensitive , and most men agree that two fingers is the safer and more common way that they apply them . The rear brakes require that you use unnecessary application from your right boot to get the bike to slow / stop . When speaking to my trusted dealership that I have frequented since 1988 ; they explained that the “ engineering department “ at H-D did this intentionally to encourage the use of “ more front brake “ . I shook my head and wondered why they couldn’t let the novice rider learn to ride and not dumb down the pressure required for the rest of us . Also I would have liked to hear more about the M-8’s compression release described and perhaps seen the inside parts and how it works in this very informative video . Thanks for this job well done .

I'm feeling better and better about my 103 HO stage 2. Hauls me around pretty well.

My stock 2019 107 roadking STANDARD is a torque monster with 35 yrs.of riding everything with 2 wheels it is smooth.(I had other enthusiasts walk up to my bike and place their hands next to my cylinders ,,after 150 mile ride and say how cool my motor was,,,they knew more about my engine than eye did ,,,until now ,,,after watching your content.thanks !!!--Happy Trails ya,ll-!!!☆☆☆

Just got a 2017 FLHP after riding a 2001 FXDXT for many years and I can say the 107ci is heads and shoulders above the old Cam 88... I gave my FXDXT to my son and he's rebuilding it to his liking down in Tx and hoping to meet up with him half way on the way to Sturgis next year,,,

I did a stage 2 and absolutely luv it

Good job! I knew the stats but the engine video clips are super cool!

Ride what you can afford some people just can’t afford much LOL

Love my 2019 RG Ultra 114, lot different than 110 CVO , definitely runs cooler and much more responsive. 😎

I have the m8 stage 2 / 465 cam, its really fun to ride...

Great video Block. Very informative for us not HD riders.

I kind of like the idea off no vibration they should give folks the option.

I love this New engine and the old others one

Thanks for this information I am trying to learn everything I can to apply for a job with Harley Davidson

Its a tremendous engine, homerun hd!

Just bought my first HD, 2021 Low Rider S. Really stoked about it, hopefully I made a good decision.

Great stuff thanks for the clear and concise information

Good video man. Upgraded from my 08 Fatbob with a Fuel Moto 107 kit, to a 2018 SGS. The new engine stock, is better in almost everyway than my old bike. Now I just gotta find some good slip ons and I'll be set for awhile.

Dual spark plugs and four valves per cylinder which have been used on metric bikes for 25 years now. Everyone is raving about this engine but it’s old news to many of us.

got a new 17 ultra c.2 weeks ago with 5400 miles on it with the 107 she just bad ass nothing bad to say at all

very informative, thank you, good job

Just traded my 2000 Road King on a Softtail Slim, Been riding Road Kings and "King of the highway ( shovel road king predecessor) forever I need a lighter and lower bike 5'5" 67 yrs, love it a million

Almost 100k subscribers bro! Damn what a year. I remember when I joined before you started upgrading the 883 and I figured you would blow up, but this fast is Awesome. Good for you man! I predict 1 million subscribers by this time next year..... mark it down😁👍🇺🇸

Bought the M8 lowrider. changed the stock seat because it's crap,put on V&H slipons. sounds great,drives good,rear brake isn't up to much.very happy with it other than that.

Thanks for the info man! I could have never guessed you ever rode a cbr! 😜 I almost got a 48 bur changed my mind because of the shake.

Can t wait for those test ride videos

I do not need any more power or speed, i,ll keep my dependable 2000, 88 cid....it has a few upgrades and is dependable.

Nine yrs ago I bought my first harley a 13 hertiage which I still have just flipped to 100000 and still going but a year ago bought a 18 ultra and OMG I love the bike I tell people it's my quiet bike and the hertiage is my loud one

I got the stage 2 and torque cam and it's very impressive...

Very nice video. I still like the Pan generator bottom and the Shovel top, or a mid seventies Ironhead Sportster. My ‘05 TwinCam Springer seems like about as new as I need to go.

Definitely a great work by Harley Davidson. Reducing the shake and heat is probably the best thing that the new engine offers. My brother has a Dyna Wide Glide 2013, and even during a good weather (22°c - 28°c), he sometimes can't stand the heat of the engine. But I'm mostly interested in the new FXDR. Is it going to be the V Rod replacement? Or is it a V Rod wanna be? Can't wait till you review it Blockhead.

Great video brother! Thanks for all the info!

So cool going back and watching your old videos and seeing the progress in steps. Gives me some inspiration and great entertainment

I love mine it is way better than the twin cam on back. I still own a EVO but this bike will run circles around it, best Harley I have ever owned out of several from Panhead on. I have a 2017 Ultra Limited

Don’t forget in the 107 oil transfers issue !! Mine is at Harley waiting for vent kit for Harley under warranty !!

Love your videos and hopefully I'll be able to jump from my 883 to an m8, was blown away by the fxdr..but the price though..

I really luv that engine.

Just got a brand new (even though it’s a 2018 model) Road King 107 for a work bike and I’m hoping for the best. My personal bikes are a 95 FLHT Electra Glide Standard with the Evo and a 83 FXSB Lowrider with the Shovelhead. I always loved the sound and coolness of the Shovel and the absolutely bulletproof reliability of the Evo. Not that I care too much about reliability with the M8 since we have a dedicated, full-time mechanic to work on the bikes. But, I also don’t want to have a shop queen either. So far the guys that already have them like them, especially since they have hydraulic clutches.

You forgot to mention while idle in high temps the rear cylinder shuts off

Has Harley been quick to fix the defective composite cylinder head gasket?

Finally 4 valves per cylinder getting in the game with all the metrics

Pan head still runs just fine thanks! neat motor though, bet it has a ton of power ! these have the be the loudest Harley engines ever ! how ' bout building them entirely here using only American steel and American Workers Like Knucks and Pans were made! Make America Great Again indeed ....

Why was the twin cooling installed on the 17's CVO and then removed, was there an issue..?

I gotta compliment you on reading the spec sheet accurately, but nearly every reviewer talks about the increase in HP and torque at RPM. Just talking numbers doesn't tell the story of the M8 performance. What makes the M8 impressive is the fact that it achieves approx. 90% torque output at 2100 RPM, and sustains that level past 4000 RPM. The torque curve on this motor is high and flat, check out a dyno run chart, not just the numbers.

Very well spoken and informative video.

Awesome presentation and content!! More please 💪

Very informative video Thanks !!

I liked this video. good information... 🤘🏻

Do a video on the Street lineup or the Revolution X engine, the Street Rod is probably the only note worthy bike out of the lineup with a dual throttle body, hemi piston heads, upgraded fuel injectors and upgraded cams. The revolution x engine in the street Rod is also liquid cooled, and no counter balancers, so you can redline at 9000 RPM and feel every bit of it, in my opinion, it’s an absolutely amazing bike, only 750 CC 64 cubic in, but stock it has 18% more hp and 8% torque over the normal 750 cc revolution x engine that’s in the Street 750. I ran a low 13 sec 1/4 mile on it with pump gas and stock muffler and air intake, yes I said low 13 STOCK, my buddy has a S&S 114 cubic in engine in his road king and he runs 11s

Sounds like with the new oil cooled heads, this new design for them might be the primary cause for oil sumping which is an issue the can't seem to correct with what now, 8 new/replacement oil pumps?

This is a pretty good copy of the Yamaha 113 Stratoliner motor from 2006. Way to go HD!!

Any word on the Live wire? Due to be released to dealerships in August. So , I hear. Can't wait to test ride it. I like the Mount Rushmore 103 motor myself.

Nice engine!

Very well done video and very informative Thanks

Love the vids don’t stop it bro 👍😁

Nice video. I love to see the tech stuff.

I only use aviation dino 20w50 it luvs it.

So...10% more torque from a 4% bigger engine? Eh...not to excited about that. But I do like that they have finally gotten on board with cooling and the 4 valve 2 spark plug heads...my 00 vulcan has those and it makes a big difference.

Will we be seeing anything different from the m8in near future?

Excellent video, high quality content!

Absolutely love my '19 Heritage 107. Dealer wanted it back, marketing ploy- IDK. I responded what, why? I absolutely love this bike - NO... Not a word since. I've owned many and rode many, but of all I absolutely love this bike...

Still love my 1998 evo

I've heard guys say if u decat them they run much cooler...

Great Video! Sharing! Awesome work.

And the head covers look cool. 😉

shovelheads and the open road,only change is the baker 6speed,o ring chain and the damn bugs,sometimes I just put a fan on it ,to hear it idle,there is no other bike

just wondering, did they go back to gear drive timing, or are they another version of the chain drive? what is allowable run out on the crank ? thanks !

In that picture that you show with all the models of engines how come the Milwaukee eight is the only one that has an air intake still mounted on it??

Thanks a lot Blockhead.

Wow, this is nostalgia as its finest, Block. Just out of curiosity,.... which one of those beauties did you take your name-sake from @0:25 ??

Nice video and fun to see what HD is up to lately. Third generation HD rider but now am on a Triumph. I wish the roads around here weren't so treacherous for motorcycles , may have to give up the sport.

I have a 2018 SE CVO using about 1 qt of oil every 5,000 miles. Factory said it's normal. Never had a HD using oil. Thing about applying the lemon law.

Why not 8 valves along time ago ???- Especially the sportster which still does not have 8 valves ???

Just came here to see about pushrods. My 2000 SUZUKI VL1500 has an internal chain to operate upper mechanics and 4 valves too. HD lagging 😄

Do you have any overview of harley 1200cc evolution engine?

I luv my road king m8 Its awesome, luv ur style blockhead...

I checked the fuel mileage on a 107 M8 Softail Standard and it was 54 mpg! That's about the same as a 1200cc carbureted Sportster.

My 2020 Sport Glide goes like a dream. Any idea why pre 2020 they were listed as a 1745cc. 2020 onwards listed as a 1746cc?

I have a 2022 114...... are the valves usually loud as hell that's my only concern with it
