Love my brother at work, just don’t like him if you know what I mean.

he has an older CVO with a salvage title. He won’t shut the **** up about it being a CVO. Admittedly it is a nice bike. Don’t care for crazy color schemes it has, that is a preference neither here nor there.

I have a Road king, older, has less 10,000 miles when I bought it this spring. Great bike, stage 1. Co-worker J has 4 Harleys. Lives and breathes HD for bikes. J keeps his mouth shut and doesn’t brag. J is a Talented MF. Example his shovel head. Complete rebuild, engine, tranny, paint leather work. J did all the work himself (short of machining hard parts) J never brags, barely mentions he did any of the work on his bike. After rebuilding/upgrading 4 Harley’s currently in his fleet. So J and I decided to do a little creative writing and and take Bragert (B) down a peg. This is my narrative so far. Please let me know what you think. Remember creative writing exercise, so it has to be believable but can stretch the truth pretty far. My bike for reference 07 Road King. His is a 03 CVO Road King.

story:
Hey man just got my bike back and wanted to see if you wanted to go riding next week. Took it into Heywouldyoublowme Motorsports and had them go over the motor for me. Bored and stroked to a 114! Cam, ported screaming eagle heads, intake, injectors. Balanced and blue printed. I got sucked down the rabbit hole man. Started off with a cam, well then you need push rods and lifters. Well **** if we are that far into it might as well throw a big bore at it. Well hell for another $1150 you can go from a 110 to a 114. Plus another $1000 to true up the crank. Only another $500 to balance it. And another $1,250 to blueprint it. "Better than Harley" tolerance. Than it's "well we have to dyno and tune it"!dyno wasn't bad $300 another $500 to tune it. The killer tuner was $985. Why cheap out now.

First run after getting the motor done I dropped the clutch running some sport bike at a stoplight and blew apart the compensator in the primary. Cracked the case. Another $1,500. Might as well put in the better clutch while we are in there. That was July. More money and I still can't ride for another 6 weeks until the back order parts come in.

So I finally got the bike back today and can't wait to ride it. Making 123 HP and better 136 ft lb of torque. Paint almost slides off the saddle bags when you pin it in second gear!!

 

Much ado about nothing. If you and your bud have time and energy to devote to the guy I'd suggest the problem is on your end.

 

Sorry didn't know you were sensitive. What do you want to do about this?

 

Here's an idea, why don't you just actually do some work to your bike? FM 110 or even 107 kit would do the trick nicely.
Sounds like your boy J could help with the install.
Few thousand $ and a weekend and you wouldn't have to write a fiction story!
I'm getting 115hp and 120tq on my 2009 SG with FM 107. Mild by today's standards maybe, but i don't think it would have any problem out running a stage 2 2003 cvo Road King.
But then again, I didn't build it for "bragging rights".
If you actually give him a made up story to "take him down a peg" it makes you look petty and envious. Just my opinion, I could be wrong!

 

Roadking966... Can't help you with that post but your pretty new on here, so for sure..

Welcome, Caleb.
​​​​
Hope you enjoy your ride here.

Only as a suggestion, create a signature
line for your bike, year, model, and all the
code letters.

You can add that bike photo to the signature too.

Also, only as a suggestion, make your next new post over in the new member welcome area to say hello...

 

Whatever job you fellas are working at you ain’t busy enough…

 

I call this a troll post that is going no where.

 

thank you sir. Will get that tomorrow!

 

Man I think all y’all missed the point of this post. I will be doing some righteous upgrades to the bike come winter.

the point of the post was to F@&$!with my co-worker. I don’t care what you do or what you ride. Every single thing is CVO , CVO,CVO,CVO,CVO, with this guy. Cool your bike is a CVO doesn’t matter when you are talking about a battery tender.

not a troll on this site. Trying to f with a coworker. We **** with each other hard. Dude looses foot. Call him Eileen! True story.

Just a Teamster trying to bust another brothers over inflated *****. post something funny or fade away.

Never thought me messing with someone would cause this amount of backlash.

COMEDY MF ers was the point. This entire discussion had not a thing to do with performance of any bike. It was F with your friend.

 

Lotta drama going on here. Not everybody acts the way YOU want them too. Let it roll off your shoulder and enjoy talking bikes with your bud.
