After market engine upgrades
« on: June 19, 2020, 09:02:26 AM »

I'm wondering how many of you did after market engine, tuner, and exhaust upgrades prior to your MOCO 2 year warranty was over? Any regrets?

The bugs have for the most part been worked out and discovered on this platform. If done properly with a matched combination of parts the M8 can become very fun for not a lot of money compared to a Twin Cam. They become very large without a case bore. Just a big bore kit, cam, and tune plus 2020 oil pump change will make a huge difference.

That was my thought. I just traded my 2013 CVO RG on a 2019 CVO RG with on 140 miles on it, so brand new. I had fullsac exhaust and cores and a TTS tuner on the 110 and was very happy with that ride. After breakin I'm thinking Fullsac again with a tuner, Fueling Cam plate and oiler and a CAM.

You will be happy with that setup... Don’t overlook the new 2020 HD oil pump.. It gets great reviews and it a lot cheaper then the aftermarket....

Consider others. CycleRama and TTS make bolt in grinds that work very well. Consider the tuning plan too, a flash tuner and a dyno shop that knows their way around. You do not need the cam plate changed just the pump to the 2020 which is less than half the price of the aftermarket offerings. Change the lifters and add S&S cuffs.

Definitely some good advice here. The toughest part is finding a real tuner that knows their way around the TTS system.

Not hard. Washington state right? We have two shops nearby and one in Nanaimo when BC opens again. If you don't have a tuning device let the tuner provide that. Many will sell the license and then no device purchase is needed. Saves money!
Our Top Gun premium lifters are black, slow bleed, and affordable, made in north america. Work well, run quiet, and have been proven since the first release in year 2000.

Already own the TTS Mastertune, what shops in Washington are you thinking?? Canada is a no go, if you catch my drift.

I did.  Bike was 6 months when I did then fullsac complete exhaust and then at 15 months I built the engine.  No regrets.
