New 135 Cubic Inch Crate Engine

You can do substantially better power wise and at lower cost with an aftermarket build.

I don't trust HD as far as I can throw my FLRT to build a performance motor.
 
For my money having the bottom end balanced and redone up at Darkhorse, then doing the T-Man kit is a much better option than anything Screaming Eagle has to offer. If you get the right dealer that can do the mod it could be done for around $6,000. You end up with a 130ci trike that is really fun to ride. You can easily get that tired old M8 up to over 110 HP and over 135 torque.
 
I'm guessing Harley riders aren't mourning the loss of the kick starter on any of these. My old pan was enough with the old joe hunt magneto. And 50 years ago I was young.:laugh:

Agree, even the low compression engines could be a real pain especially if you did not retard the advance before kicking, good thing the Big Twins did not free fall like the Sportsters did;)
