What am I missing?? 117 build
Hey all. Getting ready to complete my install and wanted to lean on the experience here to help me see what I have overlooked.
Bike started out as a 2014 Road King. Love this bike. Decided to convert it to a Street Glide when I found a screaming deal at an insurance auction. Frame was cracked and bent so they totaled it out. Everything else was 100%. 4015 miles on the bike. So I stripped all the good stuff and am selling whatever's left that I don't need. Had the plastics and tank painted to match. Ran the FLHX wiring harness and began building the motor. Am going to swap the front end and bolt up the ABS pump and module. Touchscreen radio connected to the Wild Boar SG audio system already installed. What I've done so far: S&S 117 big bore kit Darkhorse bottom end including:
Revolution Performance Monster head package:
Feuling roller tappets S&S adjustable pushrods Evolution Industries compensator eliminator Baker 1.5" oil pan Baker Primary Chain Tensioner Throttle Hog 58mm throttle body Fueling 5.3 g/s injectors Trask 58mm a.c. D&D Boarzilla Barnett Scorpion Lock-up Clutch & Basket and that's it... so please, help me punch holes in this build. What am I forgetting?? What did I overlook?? |
Go with S&S tappets instead of Fueling for obvious reasons.

You mentioned "port work".........
But that means nothing without at least some pics RINGS ,Piston Rings! Spend the money on low drag rings.It is the best money you can spend. A lot of shops overlook this little trick. Why OH why push and pull 30 lbs when you can do the same numbers with 9 to 12 lbs? why turn it all into heat /friction? AND the BIG one How is this bike to be proposed? The longer haul or all that you can reasonably get which means shorter lived valve related stuff. Are the guides cut trimmed? Guide bosses have a nice boat to them?? It is all a slippery slope and it looks like you have a good handle on it all. |
I will add, make sure you have a REAL Turner (TTS, PV, JMHO in that order) a REAL Dyno Tune and sum thing to wipe that chit eating grin of your face! ***Warning- Good luck, been 3 years and I still can't find anything to wipe the grin of my face! YB |
I wish we had more Hot Rod threads here..........
Everyone gets all tied up with the dumbshet crap. |

Lots of long trips across country and into Canada. |

I'd add an oil cooler if you don't already have one.
