Is this a joke? Kind of harsh Yamharley. Someone asked a ligit question in a forum designed to answer all types of questions. Like my momma always used to say, if you have nothing nice to say, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all. Your post has no value added! JMHO.

 

Maybe I am missing something, but isn't the M8 engine very similar in size to the TC 103? I will admit that I have not paid particular attention to the physical dimensions of the engines.

 

Broken arrow: I'd say over 95% of my questions have been answered in a helpful manner. To help those whom do not know or want advice. I thank you personally. As for that post you referenced? What can I say? I have no idea why someone would take that avenue. I agree totally with what he said though but it came across in a bad way that's for sure.

 

It has nothing to do with CVO and everything to do with M8 only being in touring bikes for 2017.

Look at how the twin cam was rolled out when it replaced the Evo. Expect a similar thing to happen.

In 2018, the M8 will likely be the only big twin in production.

 

I'm sure the M8 will be more available that's for sure but in what bikes will the 114 be in? That was my reason for the posting.

 

All CVO's and possibly S models like Fat Boy S etc., same as the larger engine was put in those models previously.

The reason the M8 is not in the CVO Breakout in 2017 is because none of the Softails have it. That being said, 2017 regular Softails have the TC 103 and the CVO Breakout has the TC 110.

Just follow the pattern.

 

A chevy 350 and a Ford 351 are similar sizes, but trying swapping one for the other and it is not a direct fit without modification.
