Default 114 ci M8 really isn't 114 ci...
So has any one noticed that the M8 114 is really a 113? In fact it's smaller the the 113 kit for twincams.. I get 113.28 for the TC 113 kit and only 113.10 for the M8.. Heck the motor is exactly the same size as my evo with a 113 S&S motor in it..

So, are you going to sue the motor company?

Common practice among manufacturers (auto and motorcycle) to 'round up'. Has been for years. Last thing in the world *I* would be getting excited about.

So, if a person has a stage 4 116 kit, it means they have crapped in their pants a little?

I haven't felt so violated since I found out my '70 750 Honda was only a 736

I'm not excited. Just thought it was worth noting.. I do wonder why HD didn't call their 113 TC kit a 114 tho.
