Welcome back to 2147 Crew. In this video I review the Harley Davidson Screamin' Eagle Milwaukee-Eight Engine Stage IV Kit - 114CI or 117CI to 131CI. I have successfully reached 5,000 miles. Without issues with the belt, engine, transmission, clutch, or primary. It is installed on my Harley Davidson 2022 Road Glide Special in Redline Red.

I also go over several things that I've noticed over the 5,000 miles that I don't like.

Relax and enjoy the video.

  • The cam is the biggest limiting factor in the 131's. They usually make around 150/150 with a better cam and 2-1 pipe.

    I took my bike from Aberta Canada to Moonshine Harley and got a 128 done with 138HP and 144TQ and that was easy to get. Take a look at their 135 motor and you wont look back. I rode mine 6,000 miles back home and no issues at all. Those guys know their stuff, looking forward to seeing what you choose.
  • Finally someone's honest and calls out HD for the lack of performance vs dollars spent. Amen to that
  • @maldog4303
    I'm freaking excited as heck!! 👍🍻🎉🎈
  • @kellybgliding
    That boi looks and sounds so sweet. Awesome 131 on flash
  • @HDVIBE
    The bike looks awesome. It's unfortunate that your power is limited based upon the bug $$$ spent. That Harley EPA tune is holding it back. But that's the trade off....warranty or big power. I can't wait to get my fairing spoiler. It looks great on your bike. Good luck on the power hunt. Ride safe. 👊👍🇺🇸

    I did the SE 128 complete warranty build and just as you said I couldn't beat a 114 with a aftermarket tune and cam. Now I went to moonshine harley and redid a bunch of the kit and tuner. Sweet honey BBQ what a difference 147hp and 137 tq and It's no joke. I agree with your opinions 👍
  • @MrBurlybiker
    I got a Road Glide ST did my 131 and yes I had a starting problem like you said! Runs great but 1 time it didn’t want to start!
  • When you go aftermarket make sure to build the supporting mods if you have any questions hit me up tons need to be done to be built right and reliable
  • @paulrebis3439
    I was in your same boat. I went with power vision tuner. Cycle rama 540-2 cam. Fuel moto 2-1 rtx full length pipe better air cleaner. And it's night and day difference. Was 118 hp and 138 torque. Now it's 147 hp and 159 torque. It has 150 torque at 3000 rpm. Clutch was slipping on dyno is why it didn't make in the 150 s hp. Next is bigger injectors and cnc ported throttle body. Hoping for high 150s hp and mid 160 torque.

    Man, I think it's awesome as she sits! But you gotta do what will make you happy. Either way, I'll be watching bro!

    Beautiful bike, I had the 131 installed on my 22 roadglide special the only problem I’ve been noticing since Harley tuned it after the breakin period is a lot of heat soak when I’m in traffic, and last night when it got hot downtown I felt like it was about to turn off so I parked it and let it cool down for about 30, 40 minutes then left downtown because of that and took the freeway home, other than that it’s smooth
  • You have some really good points. I was gonna go with the 131 kit also but after doing a little bit more research I felt like I'm not getting my money's worth especially if you're paying that much money and they're leaving a rev limiter on it. So this summer I decided that I'm gonna go with zippers performance. It seems like zippers performance gives you the kind of horsepower numbers that you're looking for with the kind of money that you're spending.
  • I got the 131 kit on my 2020 Street Glide and 3 State Harley down in Bossier City Louisiana and mine took the record down here with 144-HP and 160-ft lbs Torque And that is some Badass Numbers
  • Ya buddy I’m excited to see how it comes out. You should really look into the star racing 3/4 cam
  • Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the 131. I have two takes of my own; the first being resale. In 2012 the stock engine was a 103…and that was a big deal. 10 years later we are at a 114. So, at that rate, it should take 10 years before the 131 is stock. But sell your bike with a 131 in 5 years and you will get a good return on your upgrade investment. Lastly, the cams in the 131 kit are kinda crap. Going aftermarket on those won’t void the warranty, to my understanding.
  • @sprather4642
    Nice build! I have same bike with the same wheels and an S&S 128. my numbers are lot higher. You need to do 2 things, get a new cam and have it Dyno tuned. I can't tell you what cam to get because I don't know where you like your power but there is lots of info out there.
  • @sdot5778
    I was thinking about putting the stage 4 in my 2023 breakout… that’s for the Honest review on the horsepower numbers. I bought a 3 year extended warranty.
