Good and bad are not the criteria to judge the heads. It is what fits the need. Properly ported CVO heads will work better in most cases.

A lot of talk on the pipes for his hp, but why the MVA heads? Are the stock CVO heads not better than the MVA? I am asking, not making a statement.

Seems the head could be a big factor here if 110 with a compression bump and cam are doing better.

I've ran MVA Heads & re-worked 110 heads & 110's worked better in my application. I'm not saying MVA's won't work but for the money I feel a 110 cast is a better platform.

I am looking to upgrade to this kit. Wondering if it is worth it and what kind of Results did You get. I have 2016 CVO Road Glide Ultra w/ 4' Rinehart exhaust and SESPT module now. Thanks in advance!!!

With all the excitement of the new M8's, seems like you can hear some crickets on this tread.....

Well, I can say that I just rode to my dealership to get my 45K mile oil change done. Had some Dino oil for the first 2000 miles or so after my 117" upgrade.

My wrench said oil was good, no signs of it being dirty and that it pulls really awesome! Still haven't got my final dyno tune done as I'm looking at getting some pre-owned 110" heads and l plan on sending them down to John Sachs, to let him do some magic this winter.


I will still say, anyone thinking bout this upgrade, Go For It!!!

I agree!  There is nothing about the M8 114/117 that would make me want to swap my twin cam 117

I love my 117 build.  Its such a blast to ride.  I'm sure it will be good while before any 114 Milwaukee 8 can hang with it.  If time is taken and all the parts for the 117 build matched with each other its a fantastic set up.  Hard to beat the just over 138 HP and 140 torque I have.

I'm looking hard at getting 114  bike, really wanting a CVO road glide to replace my 15 CVO road glide.  The CVO king with the 117 is not going any where.  Its a keeper.

[KC2GIW]

I'm not sure I've said this out loud, but it shouldn't be understated:  The 117 may not be the baddest combo around, but it has great manners.  Every built bike or car I've ever had came with a litany of small convenience issues.  I've been riding this 117 since new and I can't come up with one way it's any worse than a stock bike.  ZERO complaints.

Keep in mind, I have the kit installed as designed by the factory.  No head work, no increased compression.

He was reluctant to say he knew you when I asked...

Welcome to the site glad to have you join us.

BTW... you don't happen to know any of the DCFD BBQ team members? In particular one that owns/rides an '04 Screamin' Eagle Electra Glide... if you don't watch out for him he's trouble... if you do sorry for your bad luck.

Not that I blame him.
