My wife saw the title of this and gave me the most threatening look I've seen since I did a burnout on our brand new driveway 😂

"It was pretty easy to get this much power"
Yes Sean, money does make things easier.

Haha, Sean...."The simpler they are, the better they age!" Now let's stick in a bigger engine and add the biggest, most complicated turbo system we can find. Keeping it simple??? Love it!

I’m pretty sure the whole old man sleeper look is gone when your Harley sounds like a Powerstroke lol

I saw this bike in Daytona and Sean fired it up. It sounds so good. Beautiful bike and beautiful build. Sean is also a really awesome guy in person just like he is in his videos. Love the words of wisdom

Hands down one of my favorite builds on YouTube so pumped to see this
Bike come together

I still maintain that you should add a boost controller to the system, so you can easily switch between pump gas and race gas power. I run the Turbosmart eBoost controller on my 96" 2011 Fat Boy. 179hp/181tq at 14psi on 91 pump gas with ACES IV additive. I haven't bothered to turn it up more and run C16, but before the boost controller, it did make 18psi on C16 and made 201hp/200tq and captured the 1650cc A-PBF record at Bonneville at 167.435mph. That beast should go as fast as you're willing to ride it.

I’ve always been a snort bike type of guy and I still am I have a 2020 FZ/Mt-09 but My grandfather left me his 2009 Harley Davidson Screaming Eagle CVO softail springer and I could only imagine throwing a turbo on it but I’ll never change the way he left it. Wouldn’t get rid of that bike for anything in this world. I absolutely fell in love with riding a Harley because of him.

Sean, you nailed it again, love watching your channels, learn something each time and because of one of your earlier posts, I have been riding the perfect bike for me . Plus doing a few mods myself to get it running better. Keep posting

I have the highest respect for someone who has the ability and guts to modify a motor intelligently and keep details like upgraded oil flow and power transfer in mind. We only live once and your riding days are not that many. Building the bike you want and enjoy is one of the pleasures most won’t understand. In the end, you are not riding a magazine review or someone else’s opinion, you are riding the motorcycle that does it for you. It’s a visceral thing that the lucky few truly understand.

Your Hp-gains, all-the-way-through, are very-impressive . I haven't seen such large-gains on any other motor with such little modification . This model Harley must be pretty-strangled (inlet-through-to-exhaust) . Normally, the first 10-hp is relatively-acheivable but from there-onwards it normally costs A LOT . A 25hp-gain on a 500single, could set you-back 10K . So engine-cost aside(crate-engine), you have done very well. Dave NZ

A great inspiration to us all, thanks for sharing Sean :) I ride a 1995 Suzuki Intruder 1400, probably making 72hp and 94ft lbs of torque, I never dyno'ed it I just copied the modifications someone else did who dyno'ed his bike. I wouldn't mind having double the power, basically I want to be worried about pulling a wheelie or frying the tire if I hammer it and it currently does not. Maybe I'll try to turbo it for fun, either way you have a fricken cool bike man. Can't wait til you're comfortable to initiate a 0 - 60 :)

Being a parts manager, and owning two 131 crates myself (seriously I’m not trying to brag) I can safely tell you that they do not stamp the vin number on the engine. They just give you an MSO to put with the title. If they put the vin number on the engine, they would require you to send the crank case back. Which they don’t because they don’t stamp the matched vin on it

My bike is stupid fast with 150 hp and 78 lb ft torque. I couldn't imagine riding that beast.

[pyrolysis]

I love that it still has a mostly stock look outside of the turbo. Looking forward to the suspension mods. Would love to see some carbon fiber wheels to help get that power down.

Street is all about torque. My turbo fz10 on pump 91 still only puts out 188hp but the spike in torque to 105ftlbs from 6k through 8k makes a heck of difference. Still struggles to keep front down to use it on street. But for anything below 100mph on a bike it’s all about torque and if you can get it told not brake loose.

10:27 Your camera bike is a Valkyrie!!! Let’s go!!! 2000 F6C owner here!!!

Short Answer.... Without the turbo you staring down the Barrel of

Nice build. Torque is always the answer ;-) Loved the Proverb!

[Timothius]

That's some good words of wisdom today. 👍
