PARTS USED IN THIS EPISODE:
G Squared Motorsports: S&S Cycles crate engine, built with B-2 heads, Super G "shorty" carb. Installed with Metzler Tire, Brembo brakes, Rush Racing exhaust system, and Mickey Thompson tire.
After researching the same engine builds over and over, I finally decided to browse the older videos on this channel and I came across this motorcycle engine build. Very interesting and a much needed change of pace from the repetitive small block/big block V8 engine builds with the occasional Straight 6. What I'd also really like to see is like boat racing engine builds, like high performance boat engines
I certainly like to see V twin motorcycle builds like this on Power Nation TV. I've been into cars and trucks more than bikes over my life by necessity to start with. As far as hot rods and play toys bikes certainly are cheaper and easier to work with than cars. Especially now that we are in time when prices for even old rusty junk muscle car is equal to nice V twin chopper.
Must be a union job, 2 guys working on the motor and 10 standing around watching.
LMAO, this cracked me up.
Its was part of there schooling a practical exam!
WHOAA... bro... some of us WERE " hitters "... lol.
I literally gasped out loud when I saw that paint! I've never done that before lol I was caught off guard, I was not expecting it to look so amazing! Damn now I want another bike.
I love to see people pushing Harley engines to their limits. Don’t get me wrong, I like the speed demons from the East, but there’s nothing like the roar of a Harley V-twin.
Dean Williams Yea, I’ve heard of Ducati and Triumph and they’re also cool bikes. It’s just that I’m open to appreciate the simplicity of Harley’s design. PS, Harley’s are relatively under-stressed engines stock, and for that reason are pretty reliable. And their post AMF bikes have really high build quality. And 120+ HP is nothing to scoff at on almost any bike. And Dean, given how bigoted you sound, I’d doubt you have enough skill or intelligence to ride anything more powerful than a Ninja 250. So go along child, and keep waving your PP around on 4chan and Reddit, they appreciate fine art like you.
I owned and rode a 1983 Kawasaki LTD twin belt drive (sold it after owning it for 22 years, even rebuilt the engine with only 40,00km on it), a 1982 Honda CB 900 C with full factory fairing (lovely bike, 125 mph two up full load, crashed that one, hurt a bit), and the one I still own is a 1996 XL1200S. My HD gets the best fuel mileage, has the most torque, is the best looking and sounds the best.
@Dean Williams I dont like Harleys but pretending they dont have any power LMAO top fuel drag bikes use vtwins
@@vincentdipazio8143 watch Tony Ruggiero's Nitro Vtwin!
@@vincentdipazio8143 it's like any other engine. Leave it in the hands a a Hot Rodder who knows what they're doing and you'll get all kinds of power. Factorys have to meet a wide range of people to stay in business. They provide the foundation. It's up to the owner to make it their's. I looked at a used Street Bob a few years ago. The guy had added another $15,000 in aftermarket parts. NONE of which were set up for him. He was only maybe an inch, 2 at most, than my 5'9"s BUT my limbs are longer. It fit me like a glove while it was to stretched out for him. He traded it for a Heritage which cost more than the Bob not to mention the extra cash he spent on the add ons. It was priced, still over priced IMO but it was a damn good deal.
Great job, building that motorcycle!!
"Sick" gets overused but that paint is SICK!!!
Man, the paint team absolutely kills it though.
Wow that flame job is superb👍
outstanding!!!
what a beast, love to straddle that work of art
Awesome! Imagine stuffing that 126 V2 into an old bug.
I never even thought of that...it would definitely be sick just chopping away at idle. I do remember back in the day I saw a Ford Festiva with a Harley V-twin at a car show and it sounded so good.
@@Brock_Landers Actually, somebody already has. But it's a rat rod. I want to see a pristine one.
I remember a Lemons racing team stuffing a Harley engine into a Prius. LMAO, don’t think it ever turned many laps.
Love this motorcycle video. You all should do more of these.
They should have gotten Amish Mike to do some wheelies on that thing
Should have just bought a CBR1000RR, 150whp at half the displacement and even less weight.
At probably a third of the price too...
It doesn't have to be one OR the other, I have Harleys, crotch rockets and race dirtbikes. When you love bikes there's no need to discriminate
But not the torque
And 2 more cylinders, so not comparible at all.
Too much man jewelry while working with your hands ....
They are hand models.
I just bought a S&S DRAGON T143 ENGINE, Can't wait to drop her in my Ultra!..😎
hope all the wyo tech guys see this that bike all the way around is total BAD ASS
I went to wyotech, graduated with straight A honor and perfect attendance. Both HD dealerships I applied at told me they never heard of wyotech and told me to leave. So...waisted time and money. 🤔☹
Wait... ya just tried 2? There's bunches of dealerships out there, didn't try any more?
HD are overrated
There was a a friend of a friend who went to a H-D dealer to get 2 new tires installed on his bike. Not a three wheeler either. When he got the bill they charged him with 3 new tires. Almost got into a fist fight there. So morons are in every dealership. I am sure if you shop around you will find a great job.
Really??? Sorry bro... Lesson learned, speak with businesses BEFORE attenting an institution... whether it's nursing school or mechanic school
I know exactly how you feel, I went to the Diesel Institute of America in Tampa, Florida and I graduated with honors and when I went to apply for a job at a local diesel shop they told me that they had never heard of the school. Real nice. Besides, those dudes must not have gotten out much because Wyotech is one of the biggest technical schools out there. I live right near the one in Blairsville, Pennsylvania.
"The most power ever seen on the street." Well, as long as you don't count the Hayabusa, ZX-14, or the VMAX. Which all run 10s bone stock...
Even the modern liter bikes make more than 150 hp. The Ninja H2 makes 200 hp, and the H2R makes 310-326 hp.
Yah but all those bike are massive product, anyone with 10k in there pocket could have it, but not this one
@@ecstasybunny7281 If you were to buy this engine assembled, it'd be 5k on its own. That doesn't include the upgrades you'd also need, like transmission, brakes, and tires (plus the bike itself). And even then, 150hp is quite a bit less than the 190hp of the other 3 of the period (the S1000RR did not exist when this video originally aired).
It is a cool engine and a really big upgrade from the EVO it's probably based on, but to call it the most horsepower on the street (even for the time) is...wrong.
@@Idividezero not a evo bud
Its based on the TC88
@@thatbuelldude189 Ah. I'm not a Harley guy, I just try to keep up with what they do. I knew the EVO had been around for a long time, but I didn't know the twin cam and the EVO were not the same engine.
I wish they did more V2 tech and performance!
Dean Williams i guess I could have said stump puller power?
Very nice bike. I would love to get one.
Lol, when you your scared of going fast but like loud noises, get a Harley
Hello from Michigan that bike was gorgeous.
paint on this deamon.. Nice work guys
Hey, ACTUAL TECH QUESTION, how did the oil lines get hooked up? I'm building one now, 2007 S&S 124 motor to a dyna trans. I can not find any info on the oiling situation. I have seen the oil line kit with the block, but that doesn't look like it will fit in the counter sunk oval shape on the case.
Nice
A nice old dell classic inspiron @10:20 from 2005 to go with the theme !
It keeps the patina in order makes want to fire up my inspiron 6000 He He
I still see them around here from time to time.. Good old work horses for minor computing
That kid with rtv. 😳 That's what clogs pick ups. Iv took apart a engines with the pickup screen half clogged with rtv.
Did they really install the cylinders on the piston without ring compressors? And it slid on nicely!
I've done it without, it's tough but doable.
The cylinders are tapered on the end
says something about the huge tolerances in that thing ..
Never ever seen a ring compressor for a twin.
8:20 All the Hemi guys just went gaga
Curious to the suggested motor break in period and technique before running it full tilt and running it on a dyno?
What was the rpm on that dyno pull?
its a awesome motor but ill still take a h2
That 17 inch front wheel looks way out of proportion with the rest of the bike!
All that money and work and it looks just like every other HD “custom” on earth.
I can’t wait for that fad to die.
Old rich guys trying to look youthful and tough will never die
That fad died in about 2005. You can buy those mid life crisis bikes on craigslist for cheap.
@@Kevin_747 yep. Other Meecum or Barrett Jackson had a Jesse James El Diablo. Didn't make $20k. Pretty big depreciation given it was probably around $100k new.
Nice bike guys.✌️
Dayum now thats a beast. In like the sound also. Too many bikes sound like fart machines. Very annoying. This has a powerful motor sound and i digg it.
14:47 i want small version of that so i can put some shock on my electrisc scooter
Nice I want to ask you to build a 3406 CAT see stock an how's the limit after stock an what's road legal lol
What oils did you use for the drivetrain? Thank You. 👍👍
hello. I am from Albania. I have an S & S engine (No. A09872) from 2000. I am looking for a catalog for installation instructions. can you suggest me where to look?
10:12 Wow, the first black guy I ever seen on this show.
Awesome 💪🏼💪🏼
Awesome 👍🏾👍🏾🤙
Gotta remember this was back in what 2002-2004
Oldest was 06-07
one nice looks bike
I ran into a guy with a gsx and alot of brsging with what he had ,sorry about his luck but it was all over but the crying with my little h2 750 lol.
Where can you buy the 126
It's fun to see some bike motors getting worked up, but one hundred and fifty horses really ain't that much when your bike weighs 300kg+.
why a steel rear chain and not a belt??
Maybe any gear heads can help me. My truck turns on but won’t stay running. 351windsor not sure what year but it’s in my 89 F-150. I replaced my distributor, new wires, new spark plugs, cap and rotor, coil pack, and coil pack connector also new ignition module and throttle body control valve. I’m out of ideas
Check timing, make sure it is getting proper fuel, make sure the air is okay. Thatd all I've got. Good luck
Check for vacuum leaks too
If you live in Vermont I'll stop over on my way home from work tomorrow and fix it for free
150 hp from a 2 liter engine?
It's the sort of crazy power/L that you get out of a Kia Forte
@James McC2.4hum Well, maybe in a 4 cylinder street bike. 150hp out a v twin is a lot for those guys.
@@Artemisgoldfish Its a v twin. the bike probably weighs around 600lbs. So thats plenty.
Guys can not comprehend vtwins make high torque and lower horsepower while sport bikes usually make higher hp and lower torque. Guys comparing 2 cylinder motors with big pistons to 4 cylinder motors with small pistons. It shows how truely clueless people are about motorcycles.
@@jonnymac8925 KTM RC8/RC8R, Honda VTR1000 SP/SP2, Ducati 1098/1198, should I keep going? That power to liter ratio is a joke.
I would be very disappointed if I had a 126ci/2000cc engine that only made 153hp. A stock 750cc gsxr is making 148hp nowadays.
If you just look at the peak numbers i can totaly understand it but when you look at the torqe and when the curve starts you can see the displacement.
cool
so my thing is why cant we convert manual v twins to auto? i'd love for my 2012 vic cct to be fully auto
The closes us Harley guys can get to automatic is installing a recluse clutch
Why would you want an auto? It would add so much weight and shifting gears is fun anyways
Wonder why WyoTechs motorcycle program went tits up
Rebuild motorcycles engines too.
Here in 2021 a motorcycle isn’t much good if you can’t ride it in a city environment without it roasting your butt checks or you have to turn it off to ask for directions.
The holiday inn express joke was so cringe
Now, do HD's race engine, the Sportster engine.
@osp80 The Sportster engine was the race engine. Only HD engine with cross drilled crank for oiling. Solid tranny to engine construction, best push rod angle. Can you say Twin Cam?
@James McC2.4hum Yes, but very good torque. I rode my CB 900 C Honda, 88 hp, 50 ft/lb torque. Two up, full load, 125 mph easily. My HD, 60 dyno'd rwhp, 70 lb torque. 120 max speed empty. But, pull front wheel in drag races on track. My Honda was great, but love my HD Sportster. I also had 1983 Kawasaki 750 LTD Twin belt drive.
1 ltr japanese sport bike are too good,lite,200hp stock,14,000 rpm and ultra reliable
Durrr. Did you just learn this or something?
Two...totally....different....motors....
That engine sounds mean
I would like to see a panhead make ridiculous power for the street
I’d like to see that converted to a V8.
@Dean Williams My 1996 XL1200S makes stock one hp per ci and does not break down. Still have it over my Kawasaki and Honda. My Kowy made one hp per ci, my Honda made 1.6 hp per ci. My HD is better on fuel, has the power, and looks the best.
Wow Harley's are so weak! 126ci and only 150hp? Not good man!
Two valves per pot, pushrod actuated, air cooled, with rear cylinder getting obscured from air flow by the front, plus the architecture does not allow the high revving that DOHC water cooled designs do.
This was back in like 2002 dude, and yah 150hp and probably 150tq out of a 2 cylinder motor. How is that not good?😂
@@SvenTviking yep, that’s why Harley engines aren’t a good base for race motors
@@connorssmallengines6663 your comment makes 0 sense. The displacement size of a motor and whether it is air/oil cooled or liquid cooled makes a big difference. Race classes that allow 600cc sport bikes usually allow upto 1100cc air cooled vtwins, because they are two totally different motors. That doesn't mean they don't make a good Race motor. They are cheaper and easier to fix with less maintenance and can make plenty of reliable power. The XR750 has more wins than any other motorcycle and is known as the motorcycle with the most Race victories. As for AMA, their rules allow bigger vtwins to run with smaller liquid cooled motors,because there is an equation. Simply comparing a 600-1000cc inline 4 to a 1200-1800cc vtwin is absolutely silly. The boys at Crete Performance who just yesterday pulled off a record 8 second pass on their stock wheelbase m8 bagger would disagree with you. Both motors have their ups and downs, but a Vtwin can absolutely make for an amazing motor to use for racing.
@@connorssmallengines6663 Beginning next year, production motorcycles featuring engines with the following displacement and specifications will be eligible for competition in the AMA Formula Xtreme class: “¢ 550cc-600cc 4-stroke liquid-cooled 4-valve four cylinders “¢ 650cc-675cc 4-stroke liquid-cooled 4-valve three cylinders “¢ 650cc-850cc 4-stroke liquid-cooled 4-valve twin cylinders “¢ 990cc-1100cc 4-stroke air/oil-cooled 2-valve desmo twin cylinders “¢ 990cc-1200cc 4-stroke air/oil-cooled 4-valve pushrod twin cylinders “¢ 900cc-1350cc 4-stroke air/oil-cooled 2-valve pushrod twin cylinders In making the announcement, AMA Pro Racing Director of Technical Development, Kevin Crowther said the changes were consistent with the intent of the Formula Xtreme class and reflective of the current motorcycle marketplace. “The goal of the Formula Xtreme class is to feature highly-modified machines from the broadest list of models,”
I would also like to add, the BRL and Vtwin classes have lots of guys that race motoGP, Moto America, SBK and other high level sport bike race leagues coming to race their vtwins, and their lap times are incredible. Go take a look at the things guys like Josh Herrin, Andrew Lee and others are doing on Harleys and Indians. Now, with all that being said, I can't wait to see what people say about the new liquid cooled Vtwins that Harley is now making. 125hp 1250cc and 150hp 1250cc motors with lots of potential. It is safe to say there will be plenty of 200+hp Harleys roaming the streets in the next year or two.
Com on man 👊 you sad 💔 I win it
Meh. A regular ole Harley engine is enough for me . It's all about the cruise 👍
You want a hot V twin? Buy a Ducati.
Not if you wanted a cruiser or touring bike
Ducati mainly builds crotch rockets
Pls tell again! You make just 150hp out of a 2000cc motorbike engine? 🤣
You doing it wrong!
Really? What makes you say that?
@@jonnymac8925 Because even my bmw M42 engine with 1.8 Liter makes more with just minor modifications! 😂
Even most production engines aproching 100hp per Liter. If you build a custom engine and bragging about "big horsepower" this gets ridiculous pretty fast!
But that's how you Americans are! 😁
dont like the 90s era flame job.
Old tech, old style, and no real forward progress in 50 years, HD is for old men who long ago lost their cool. I'm glad to hear that the young generation has lost interest in these dinosaurs.
It's all about noise and "look at me!"
kick in the pants???... fart you mean... only 150 HP... that was a big number in 1980...
most European brands get that amount of "power" (including the torque) from a liter engine..
and you can buy them as a stock / mass-production model.. for a reasonable price..
no special / sick / bad-ass stuff (with "special" prices) needed...
What euro bikes make 150hp and 150tq out of a 2 cylinder vtwin? Oh you are comparing an air cooled, 2 valve, pushrod, 2 cylinder to a liquid cooled, 4 cylinder motor? That is a horrible comparrison. Sure, you can buy them cheap and have the exact same thing as everyone else. Some people enjoy building something for themselves and not everyone wants a cookie cutter bike. Ducati is the only ones and the Panigale never made anywhere near the torque numbers as this motor did, seeing as how they make less than 100ft/lb of torque.
@@jonnymac8925 yes, but the fact they are 2 cylinders huge displacement air cooled 2 valve motors makes them a bad starting point for race engines
Harley is DEAD! Old bike for old people!
Then why are there so many other motorcycle companies out there trying to copy them
Oh really now. How about the new Street series bikes or the LiveWire. Certainly dead, aren’t they.
I love riding and talking with old people on HD's. I love my 1996 XL1200S.
One day you will get old then you can appreciate good old simplicity. .
@@karlsmith2570 hahahaha... wich rock have you been under for the last 20+ years..?
Along comes a stock Yamaha R1 and blows its door off ......... Typical barn yard technology !!!!!!!!!
I dont see the draw to a brand that had to go to the nanny state to impliment taxes on the compitition because harley refused to innovate,compete or keep up with technology. Its just an overpriced v twin. Yamaha makes better cruisers they also make dirt bikes utv atv musical instruments. As a 38 year old that would never buy a cruiser i don't even have a reason to step foot in a hd dealership.
then move to Japan......
This is an infomercial. Propaganda. Thumbs down...
Booo carburetors.
