Harley-Davidson 135 Crate Engine | King of the Baggers Modifications
Official website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about the all-new Harley-Davidson 135 crate engine. We also talk about the modifications Harley has made to their King of the Baggers (KOTB) bikes to make them handle and go as fast as they do.
The 135 was built directly with information gathered from the Harley-Davidson KOTB race team. Built on the Harley-Davidson 131 Milwaukee 8 platform, the larger 135 was achieved through the stroke. It is four cubic inches larger or roughly three percent. Although there was a three percent increase in displacement there was actually a ten percent increase in horsepower and torque.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE So here is what changed from the 131 to the 135:
A 68-mm throttle body (as compared to a 64-mm) Mated to a C&C ported 68-mm aluminum intake manifold
Developed and ran on 2022 H-D KTOB bikes New pin height on the piston to account for the stroke Piston size as far as height is less making more space in the cylinder Screamin' Eagle oil pump and cam plate standard Fuel injectors were increased to 5.5 grams per second with new injector targeting The 135 comes fully assembled and inspected by the factory. They say it's a petty easy change out. It's a drop-in for the 2021 and later M8 touring bikes. The price of the new 135 engine will be around $8,000 dollars and comes with the Screamin' Eagle warranty. Fits ’21-later Touring models equipped with air/Oil-Cooled Milwaukee-Eight® engine. Does not fit Trike models. Requires separate purchase of Head Pipe P/N 65600177 and Oil Cooler Fan Assist P/N 62700204 or Fan for Factory Oil Cooler P/N 26800195. All models require ECM recalibration with Screamin' Eagle Pro Street Tuner for proper installation. Does not fit California models.

The 131 c.i. (2146 cc) engine (approx. 150 horsepower and 150 foot-pounds of torque) Compression is pumped up with high-performance pistons Racing cam Larger fuel injectors Larger Throttle Body and Intake Racing exhaust Upgraded cooling Larger oil cooler in the fairing Extended cooling fins on engine Horn fangs (scoops air onto the rear cylinder) More ground clearance for improved lean angle 55 degrees as compared to the stock 32 degrees Ohlins Screamin' Eagle suspension Inverted front Rear shocks have external reservoirs Mid foot controls Up and back for more of a forward racing position Aluminum primary cover designed for maximum lean angle Transition is GP shift bike Opposite of stock Reduced weight Removed non-essential parts Usage of carbon fiber and aluminum parts The bikes are around 635 lbs as compared to a stock bike at 850lbs 17-inch cast aluminum wheels to run the Motoamerica-approved Super Bike racing slicks Chain Drive Aluminum swing arm removes the need for idle gear for chain conversion - had to get around the stock swing arm Brembo 4-piston brake caliper and 300 mm rotors Race seat designed for individual riders Tank formed for racers' legs/knees Racing grips, levers, and controls NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED:

OIL IN YOUR HARLEY AIR FILTER | HACKS & SOLUTIONS
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
Do you have engine oil in your Harley air filter? Is it a problem or is it normal? In this episode, I am joined by Lurch and Oscar. Harley-Davidson vents engine pressure through banjo bolts that hold the air intake on. There are tubes on the end of the banjo bolts. The tubes are directed into the intake/filter area. When pressure builds up and oil passes through the bolts/tubes it dumps into the filter and/or is sucked into the engine through the intake. If an excess of oil builds up in your Harley air filter it can leak out and get all over your bike.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We discuss how oil ends up in your Harley air filter. The three of us share our opinions and have some fun along the way. We break down the issue of oil blowback; what it is and what causes it. We also discuss stock air intakes and aftermarket intakes. Some of the aftermarket intakes already have external breather bolts and catch cans. Some have external breather bolts, but route tubes back into the intake. The stock air intakes have internal breather bolts with tubes that vent into the filter/intake.
CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! So, what are the solutions for oil in your Harley air filter? First off, don't overfill your engine oil. We here at Law Abiding Biker run our oil level a little below the top of the acceptable range on the oil dipstick. Another option is to install an exterior oil catch system that keeps the oil out of your filter and engine.
Here are some options for external breather kits:
J&P Braided Hose Crankcase Breather Kit (Twin Cam) J&P Cycles Head 1/2" and 3/8" Breather Bolt Kit J&P Cycles Dual Breather Kit Trask Assault Breather Kit For Harley Big Twin 2017-2022 (M8) NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED:

Exclusive Harley King Of The Baggers Access!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
I got to spend a day trackside with the Harley-Davidson King Of The Baggers riders and the entire race team in Arizona at the Podium Club Racetrack. This was pre-season and a look behind the scenes of a practice and test day.
I was given exclusive access and got to hang out inside the large tent the Harley-Davidson race team had set up for this practice week in Arizona. Inside the tent were the actual 2023 Harley-Davidson King Of The Bagger race bikes in all their glory! While inside the tent, I got to really walk around and examine these bikes and all their modifications.
Harley-Davidson factory rider Kyle Wyman, who rides the #33 bike, and Travis Wyman, who rides the #10 bike, were present and I got to interview and get to know both of them a bit throughout the day. Travis even took me for some hot laps around the Podium Club Racetrack in a 2022 Ford Mustang for a better look and understanding of this track. See the video below for those interviews.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The Harley Race Team had a rather unique week at the racetrack and unseasonable weather for Arizona. The Podium Club Racetrack is only about a 10-minute drive southwest of Casa Grande, Arizona. It was 32 degrees when we hit the track at around 8:00 am this Wednesday and it only warmed to around 50 degrees. Monday it rained all day, only allowing a few laps for the team late in the day and Tuesday it was extremely windy with very large tumbleweeds blowing across the track, making it too dangerous for laps.
The night prior to my arrival at the track, it rained extremely hard, leaving the track with standing water and mud across it in places. Because of this, Kyle and Travis had to wait until the afternoon to finally hit the track.
CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! It was amazing to see how dedicated the entire Harley race team and riders are to this sport. I watched as the Wyman brothers raced their modified Harley baggers around the track and oh what a sound that is. It's literally music to my ears. If you haven't heard it in person, you really need to get to a race.
After laps, the Wymans would bring their bikes either near or into the tent, where the very dedicated race team would make any changes or modifications to the motorcycle itself or hook it up to a computer for tuning or data acquisition. The entire team works together well and each member has their own duties.
Also, while I was trackside for the day, Harley-Davidson Manager Of Engineering (Screamin' Eagle) and Race Team Manager, Jason Kehl, told us all about a brand new Harley 135 cubic inch performance crate motor they are releasing for 2023. See my 135 crate motor release video and info here.
Understand, that these 2023 Harley-Davidson King Of The Baggers motorcycles were not completely done and the team was still tweaking them the day I was with them. So, the bikes you see in the video below may look a bit different than when you see them actually hit the racetrack on March 9-11, 2023 at Daytona, for the first race of the 2023 season!
There will be 14 races at 7 locations for the 2023 season. Here is the complete schedule and locations.

Oscar's New Husqvarna FE450 | Dirt Bike Talk
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
In this episode, I'm joined by Oscar and Lurch. We talk about dirt, adventure bike riding, and Oscar's new Husqvarna FE450. We love our touring bikes, but we've gotten into dirt and adventure riding over the last few years. Oscar has a Kawasaki KLR650 in edition to his Harley-Davidson CVO Ultra.
Oscar has been wanting a lighter bike that is more dirt oriented so he can get into places that are difficult to get a KLR650 into. The search for this bike was a long journey. Oscar did a lot of research and ultimately landed on the Husqvarna FE450.
Oscar explains why he chose the Husqvarna FE450. If you're looking for a dirtbike, maybe it's the one for you.
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The weight of the bike was important to Oscar. The Husqvarna came in at 250 pounds. A lot of the other bikes of the same size were 50 to even 100 pounds heavier. The Yamaha WR450F was a front-runner, but Oscar was unable to find one at a reasonable price. The new ones are hard to come by and the price is too high for the used ones.

Plain is near Leavenworth. The rally is June 22-25, 2023. We hope to see you there! Of course, we'll be filming the whole trip. Keep an eye out on our YouTube Channel for the video.

Lurch's First Adventure Motorcycle Rides | Stories and Debacles
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com
In this episode, we talk about Lurch's first adventure motorcycle rides. Dirt riding is new to Lurch. He's played in the dirt with 4-wheelers, ATVs, and 4x4 trucks, but not on a motorcycle. Those of your who follow us know that we have been diving deeper and deeper into the adventure bike world. Oscar and I have had adventure bikes for a few years. Big Daddy Kane has had one for a while as well.
After Lurch retired from his law enforcement career he decided to join us. We tell funny stories and talk about crashes. (See one of Lurch's crash videos below)
SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE For Lurch's first trip, we took him over Durr Road from Selah, WA to Ellensburg, WA through the LT Murray Wildlife Area. The road is a mix of gravel, rock, and dirt. Oscar and I didn't recall it being technical in some areas, but I guess we forgot a few spots. The Backroad Discovery Route for Washington uses this route. They consider parts of it to be difficult and offer an easier route over Ellensburg Pass. Lurch gave us a bad time for saying it would be an easy gravel road for his first trip, but he survived.
CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The second trip for lurch was up to the Jump Off Joe lookout tower. It overlooks the Rimrock Lake and Yakima Valleys. Again, I figured this would be an easy ride for Lurch. Unfortunately, I was wrong. A communication tower was being erected near the lookout tower. This meant heavy trucks and equipment were using the road. They turned the road to axle-deep powder dirt in places. Lurch slogged through it fine on the way up. He almost made it out of the powder on the way down, but he crashed near the end of it (see video below). Lurch is a good sport and I appreciate him letting me tease him and use the footage.

Customer Reviews
Great show
Would be nice to get into topic quicker for sure. Long time listener enjoy the show and videos thanks for the entertainment and information makes the commute go much better. Thanks for all the hard work you put in.
Good info
Great podcast and info once you get to it. It’s fairly annoying having to scroll through the first 10-20 min of the episode to get to the actual content though. Maybe some people enjoy the ads and banter and small talk for 15 min before the actual subject is breached but I find it annoying. A time stamp for when the episode actually starts would be helpful at least.
Off The Cliff
Let me preface this by saying this is the 1st time I've ever bothered to write a review for a podcast and this is really for Ryan and crew more than anyone else, because I think they need to hear it.
When I 1st found this podcast I thought "Finally! A real podcast about bikes and bikers"! These guys actually ride and know bikes. They even do some wrenching! In other words, my kind of people. They USED TO talk about bikes, and riding, and road trips, and clubs, and events, etc. etc. etc. It was fantastic! That being said, this podcast has gone completely off the cliff. No more talking about any of that stuff. Now, all you hear is what equipment Ryan uses, the products they sell, the videos they sell, and just about anything else NOT related to bikes or riding. In an hour and a half podcast, you'll be an hour in before motorcycles even come up! I wasted more than an hour listening to a discussion about covering work benches with metal!!! Huh??? If I wanted to listen about home improvement, I would find a home improvement podcast. I have dropped my rating of this show from 5 stars to 2. I keep hoping they will return to topics that matter to riders/bikers and quit trying to sell us everything, but I've almost given up and will likely be unsubscribing soon. Guys, I really like you all, but this is too much! Please return to actual biker talk. I don't want a Butt Buffer seat cusion and I couldn't possibly care less about what video and audio equipment Ryan bought last week, or how much it all cost him. I want to hear about road trips, places to go, new bikes you loved or hated and why, past or upcoming biker rallys, rides or events, riding tips (you have a lot of knowledge to pass on), things you saw or experienced on the road, people you met while riding, etc. There is a ton of content out there. Bring back the things we want to hear about!
Best regards,
Tim (Grunt)
