Default 117 kit rocks!

Finally got the 117 kit installed on my 2017 Low Rider S. It's kind of like riding a horse (for those of you that have) that you can barely control. This bike is a brute. The difference is most noticeable at around 2500 rpms when you nail the throttle, it's like something else kicks in. This is where it leaves the stock 110 motor in the dust. I'd recommend putting a few miles on the 110 before doing the upgrade, that way you appreciate the difference. Also got the cam plate/oil pump upgrade that was recommended by a buddy.

As soon as I can get a decent picture on my computer I'll post it. Made some other mods, too.

Default 110 parts

BTW, I now have 110 cylinders, pistons, and throttle body for sale. I know this isn't the right forum, but I couldn't access the "parts" one. 137 miles on the parts.

Nice upgrade! I actually bought mine about a month ago with the 117" already installed. Also has cams, D&D 2-1 and tuned. Its a monster. I cannot believe the power these bikes have. It'll easily stay with a 600 sport bike light to light.

Yea the 117 is insane. I absolutely love mine. I now have about 4500 miles on mine and I went with a fat cat for exhaust. It screams and runs like nothing else I have ever owned. Careful with it as I've noticed my front tire likes to come off the ground from time to time. Might also want to consider fan assisted oil cooler or fans cause if I'm cruising on the highway on a 90 degree day my engine temp hits 270, and if I'm stuck in traffic or at a light for more than a few minutes I shut it off cause it'll hit 300+ real quick.
