This Could be a stupid question: Is it still "Twin Cooled" / wet heads when you are done or do the radiators and fans go away?

There are Twin Cooled and an Oil Cooled kits. You just use the one compatible with your bike.

Good news, motor is assembled and installed and fired up. It will go on the Dyno sat and I will get it back on Tuesday. Always some minor surprises. So the kit comes with the timer cover that has the 131 script on it, my old derby cover had the 114 script on it, so I purchased a chrome derby cover(they don't have a 131 just yet) just so my bike wouldn't say 131 on the timer side and 114 on the primary side, lol. Almost 3 weeks to work out the kinks if any before I ride it down to bike week.

Awesome news my friend!!Looking forward to hearing your thoughts... FM got great numbers on their 131 build... Which I believe they didn’t change anything from exactly how the kit comes..

They're just finishing up a stage iv 131 kit at my dealership and the Street Cannons mufflers fit and are warranty approved. I'm having mine done as well.

They put the other 131 bike on the dyno today. 120hp & 134tq with the SE base map and no additional adjustments.

So I got a great surprise when Grove HD called me this morning to tell me my bike was done. I picked it up and took it for a 50 mile ride (longer one tomorrow), mind you I have to break the motor in next 500 miles or so. I could not get the frigging grin off my face! It feels like a whole another bike, the power is quick, relentless and keeps going up the rpms. The bike is definitely louder than before and doesn't sound like any M8 I've heard before, crack the throttle and you get a very assertive bark. I'll take it for a couple of hundred mile run tomorrow and will post some more feedback. Very happy I did this.

Excellent! It'll definitely put a smile on my face if mine turns out like yours.

Congratulations! Ride and have fun.

Very impressive numbers my Friend... Definitely sounds like this build is a winner..I went aftermarket 128 with head work 2 months, the 131 wasn’t out yet... Mine is 136 HP and 157 Torque.. But I now have no warranty..The 131 is definitely the way to go to keep warranty in tack, and down the line it could be built into a Monster if so chosen... Very nice looking bike too my friend.. Enjoy and keep us posted..

Very nice for a motor with full factory warranty, Heck its nice for one with out warranty.  I am sure you are very pleased with that.

Having a factory built motor and being able to get service anywhere there’s a Harley dealer was important to me, honestly I had no intentions of going after a bigger motor till I saw the Harley 131kit. Couldn’t pass up the 20% off winter savings my dealer was offering on parts and labor.  Since I do a lot of long distance riding, I’m curious about the mpg now. Hope it stays in the mid 30’s at least.

[scotman623]

Very wise decision for the right reasons my friend... I would think with being EPA compliance it should definitely stay in the 30+ MPG..Most Importantly (ENJOY)
