Default How to get my low rider s to 130hp

I know, I know , there's a million posts on low rider s builds. Before everyone tells me to use the search bar, read this. I just want people's input on what they did to get their motors to 130+. I'm gonna do research outside of this thread , however this is alot more convenient.

I really would like the bike to be some what reliable , I will beat the living **** out of it everywhere I go so it has to be strong and if I open this motor and build it , Id really like 130+ how and tq.

so....suggestions would be appreciated thanks!

I always get a kick out of these threads. My thoughts on this are always the same, WHY? Why do you want your bike to put out that much power? Cause once you get there, its not just motor work you will need. You will need to update your clutch, drive train and possibly go to chain drive. Then you need good suspension to support it, then you need good rubber to bite....

1st are you doing the work yourself? If yes and you have to ask the internet for advice, you probably shouldn't be touching a motor, If no, then really what you are asking is a referral to a good engine builder...

My advice, forgetting building your stock motor and Get a crate SS 124, a good 2 into 1 pipe and put it on a Dyno....should be there....If your keeping your stock Harley motor, 1st thing to do would be the crank. Have it trued & welded. That's where you start.

I actually saw a build sheet where I guy was pushing about 145-150 hp. Cost was about $9500.00 for just the motor work...then another $1500 for the primary/trans/clutch etc....

Good luck



Good luck

Just slap in the 117 kit and be done. You wont get the numbers you're wishing for but you'll be getting the best bang for your buck. Any more and you're just throwing money down a hole.

For $9500+, pick up a slightly used one of these:



199 HP, 130 MPH in 3d gear, no problem. 'WAY better resale on your investment, too....

That's a strong deal... Crank and heads included... I would look for a cheap, tired, earlier engine as a donor for the cases, as S&S recommends. That way the whole thing can be built before removing the stock engine, which could then be sold after the swap is complete.

Sounds like you're referring to some legitimate input...
