Congrats on your new ride!

The M8 is a totally different animal than the Twin Cam...I know why you switched!

Are you back in your shop or still out of pocket ?

My shop is always high and dry.

The mayhem from the hurricane calms down and I most likely will come mid September. Most likely come down TX 6 to 105. I simply can't cope with I-45

You're welcome anytime Mike. Come on down..

Best idea yet !:Excited:

That is the best idea yet! Hope you will come join the fun in Kerrville.

This M8 is turning into a money pit. Aside from the 2+2 bars and the lift kit, I've had the trike tuned and a high flow a/c installed. Today I ordered the 2/1/2 stainless head pipe from Fuel Moto. As soon as it gets to the dealer, it will be installed along with the trike specific mufflers from Vance & Hines. Installed the black luggage rack yesterday that I ordered last week. Still waiting for the Kuryakyn LED run/brake trunk lights and the Pingle heel shift eliminator to show up. Oh yeah, installed the perch mount cup holder from Kuryakyn last weekend.

Mikey, we think alike.

I have the 2+2s, S&S Stealth A/C, Fuel Moto pipe with V&H trike mufflers, Kuryakyn LED rear lights with the blinky, blinky option and a PowerVision tuner. Yours came with LED front lights, I had to add them to mine.

This engine is truly a torque monster waiting to be unleashed.

This engine is truly a torque monster waiting to be unleashed.

I was at my Indie shop yesterday getting my State Inspection. I overheard the owner on the phone saying the the M8 was a good engine if you wanted to do some bolt on upgrades, but if you really wanted to build a hot rod engine, the 103 was the way to go.

I want to be a fly on the wall in a few years to hear his opinion after he gets elbow deep into a few of the M8s.

 

[MikeyTX]

Both my indie and factory dealership have built up several M8's. Both said this engine begs to be uncorked. If in a few the factory hasn't put the new 114 into the touring line, I will have it done to this engine. My preference though is a factory built motor vs dealership or indie.

 

[MikeyTX]

So the 2+2 sweepers cam in today. Tomorrow they are being installed.:clapping: Almost finished with the initial setup. I figure somewhere around 5k it will be time for the 114 kit ................:Excited: ...............:yahoo:

 

[MikeyTX]

So here I sit at Waffle House stuffing my face. A block away at the Harley Davidson shop, my new trike is getting the finishing touches. 2+2 handlebars & heated grips. Lift kit and the Vance & Hines trike specific mufflers. They are swapping my stage 1 speakers, siren and, Freedom shield from the trade in to the new trike. Also added the new style windshield pouch. It is on sale @ 20% off msrp. :Excited: All that's left to do is the Fuel Moto mid pipe and it is due in mid week so it will go on next Saturday. :yahoo: All three tires have had the requisite amounts of RideOn installed. The "Texas Zephyr" will be set for some serious long distance travel ! arty:

Mike, Do you ever do anything half-way??? (really just a rhetorical question) Sheesh, I can't wait to see your new ride when it is completed. Congrats on getting an even more fun machine than your 2016.

There is no sense in doing things half assed. One only need look at our federal government for validation of my statement.

 

[MikeyTX]

And, I just bought the stage II cam/pushrod torque kit. Dealer had it in stock and gave me 20% off msrp. It goes in the trike next week when the head pipe gets here.:clapping:

Kuryakyn 6976 / H-D

:yahoo:So these came yesterday. http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/4211/rear-light-bars I will live with the chrome trim on them. I will take all the extra lighting I can get on the front and rear of the trike. Fixing to order the factory LED fog lights that mount low on the engine guards. Being LED, I will have them hard wired like I did the Motolights on the Limited Low.

Just for the halibut, could you tell us what your dealer wants for labor to install the cam kit? I was going to do it but my dealer wanted over 10 hours ($1250). Seemed crazy charge to just cut out the stock pushrods & covers and install the new ones that come in the kit (like anther dealer did on my Evo) but when I said that you'd think I'd ask if his sister was good in bed.
