For some time I had been planning to test and compare the performance of the new Milwaukee-Eight 114″ in three configurations that had as a common denominator the preservation of the original design of the bike:
- air filter, head-pipe, slip-ons and map all stock,
- air filter, head-pipe, slip-ons all stock, canned map,
- K&N air filter, Supertrapp head-pipe, stock but modified slip-ons and dyno tuned map.
The third configuration intrigued me because I wanted to test the potential of the new Milwaukee-Eight 114″ engine, in terms of torque/power and riding joy, in a bike whose original design was preserved.
The results were worth the wait, they are absolutely excellent and especially when compared to the costs, you can find them in the table and graph below, as a comment we can say: zero appearance, fullsubstance.
| M8 114″ engine | torque | power |
| air filter, head-pipe, slip-ons and map all stock | 141,81 Mn | 71,45 hp |
|
air filter, head-pipe, slip-ons all stock, canned map |
143,93 Mn | 75,20 hp |
| K&N air filter, Supertrapp head-pipe, stock but modified slip-ons and dyno tuned map | 153,88 Mn | 86,21 hp |
