    If I didn't already want a VROD, this gave me more want. The guys at Fitzgerald are fantastic! Keeping this bookmarked for all the tips, explanations, and performance parts. Can't say enough how fantastic this episode is!!!

    I’m glad you just posted this video, being just a regular Harley rider, I’m not really familiar with the inner workings of the V-Rod I knew the motor was designed by Porsche, they were water, cooled fuel injected, and looked really Nice and were very fast….. but it’s nice watching a video where you can see about the timing, the cams and the such….👍🏻
    My Son Just Purchased a (night rod) that had been setting for five years under a tarp….! he got it For $3500, from a guy in a little town called Snead, Alabama…..! Right Now , it’s at the Harley Davidson dealership here in Trussville, Alabama getting everything it needs to make it safe and to make it run perfectly after setting so long…! I was amazed how big the back tire is… it’s getting new front and rear tires. Master cylinder., and anything else it needs to make it run, and ride perfectly. V-rod stuff is not cheap….!

    Typically for machine parts: Forged > Billet > Cast
    Forged is usually best because the grain structure if the steel follows the shape of the part, while billet has open grain runout.

      Getting those old air cooled guys to change is unlikely ,but any dirt bike guy knows water cooled makes more hp off the bat.

    I've watched some of your content on and off for a while, and this by far is your best effort. It's been said that 'we're measured by the company we keep', and I do believe that's the difference in the installment. These guys make this piece work with the familiarity of the subject and the ease at which they perform it. None of it is difficult to do but as with all things Harley (or anything in life for that matter), it's in knowing what works and in the details in which you execute your vision. Investments aren't just financial, knowledge, patience, time. All well spent. All well done...

    You see this in not just motorcycles. People doing work on something that don’t really know what they are doing . I don’t knock anyone for wanting to learn . But do the research, spend the time and do it right . If you do want to work on something, make one change and then test performance. That way if something is wrong you know it’s directly related to what you just did . If you do several things all at once and there’s an issue , you have a lot of work to try and find your problem. Don’t so shady work!

    Your tip on fouling plugs on short rides
    - same goes for winter storage. Take the bike on a long ride, get everything hot, before you store it, helps with rust in the pipes and rust on the brakes. Never wash it and wheel it in the garage. Park it hot.

    I'll freely admit that I don't understand Harleys - The 'culture' appears to be about appearance and noise. Nothing about performance, or comfort - just appearance and noise. And not a nice noise, just a lot of it.
    I can still appreciate the skill of the mechanics and artists that put them together, even if I don't understand why anyone would own one.

      none of my harley's have been loud (several buells and a sportster 1200)
      all of them have made over 60-70ft lbs of torque.
      riding a torque twin for me is about having instant power just off idle and keeping it through the range.
      sports bikes and other machines make super high hp but you have to rev them to get there.
      instant and always power is why I've enjoyed my harley powered bikes.
      it's been the same for my triumph and bmw bikes... I don't want to ride a bike intended for the track, on the street. I don't need 5-7000rpm before things are starting to pull. I'm not out here running 150mph on the highway, I'm not a racer.
      when you leave a stop light on a torque engine, you're moving and doing so immediately. it's almost like an electric engine but with lots of shaking and banging going on...
      if you've never ridden a harley, I suggest taking a test ride before you outwardly decide what you do and don't want. experience is just that, experience.
      the first time I rode a buell I couldn't stop smiling in my helmet. torque is more fun than people realize.

      It's about being made in the USA 95% of it. For even long haired dirty bikers it's a snobby culture. Even owning a sportster is considered a chick bike.
      It's good the V-rod came along to pave the way for the new revolution bikes to keep the company alive. Cause the younger generation is priced out of the new Big Twins.
      Buell tried it ,but these new Revo bikes give something the next generation to consider over a "metric bike" (they're all metric now) lol.

    Would be interesting to check air pressure with multiple gauges to see accuracy.

    Seems like a LOT of work for 13 hers pers....but I assume that makes a pretty big difference on a naturally asperated bike...

      13 is a lot for a bike with only 2 cylinders it's not a car.

    As an owner of 3 bikes, the youngest being from 1995, I love your normal content.
    This build off stuff is just like all other bike channels. Not so interesting for me personally. See you on the next one

    Still so funny to me that the only ever noteworthy Harley wasn't even engineered by Harley, but by Porsche.

      It's the core Harley consumer that doesn't want to give the air-cooled motors. They literally have to ween them off the air cooled with water cooled heads.
      Seeing the V-rod crank looked like a regular crank,a traditional Big twin crank looks like it came out of a steam engine. Lol..

    If possible, post dyno graph (pre vs post)

    Having fun, and getting dyno numbers is always a good way to find issues, but this is only one aspect of your improvements and better brakes are significant but won't appear on a dyno test.
    Now I'll finish watching to see if my comment was irrelevant. 😮

      That's the real pissing contest with Harley owners, not the performance but how much you spend. Lol.. if it was performance you'd just buy a 636.
