Are Harleys really fast? The answer depends on what you're comparing them to.

In this episode of the Fuel Throttle Podcast, Jamie and Lucas discuss one of the most common questions in the motorcycle world and why the answer isn't as simple as a horsepower number or quarter-mile time.

Drawing from decades of experience—from road racing and sport bikes to modern Harley-Davidson performance builds—they explore how our definition of "fast" changes over time. The conversation covers the evolution of Harley-Davidson motorcycles, why today's Milwaukee-Eight engines are capable of incredible performance, and what motivates riders to modify their bikes in the first place.

The discussion also compares modern performance baggers to sport bikes, muscle cars, and high-horsepower street cars, putting Harley performance into real-world perspective. Along the way, Jamie and Lucas explain why building a motorcycle isn't always about chasing the biggest dyno number—it's about creating a combination that fits the rider and delivers the experience they're after.

Whether you're new to Harley performance or already planning your next upgrade, this episode offers practical insight into why riders modify their motorcycles and what "fast" really means.

In this episode:

• Is a Harley-Davidson actually a fast motorcycle?
• How our definition of speed changes over time.
• Comparing Harleys to sport bikes and performance cars.
• Why modern Milwaukee-Eight engines have changed expectations.
• Why riders modify their motorcycles beyond horsepower.
• Finding the right performance combination for your riding style.

Fuel injectors are one of the most misunderstood—and most important—components in your Harley’s performance. In Episode 6, Jamie and Lucas break down how to properly choose the right injector for your build using real-world data, not internet myths.

They cover OEM injector sizing across Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight platforms, how to read ECU data like duty cycle and pulse width, and why bigger injectors don’t mean more power. You’ll also learn the often-overlooked factor that can make or break drivability: minimum pulse width and low-speed control.

Whether you’re building a mild cam setup or a high-horsepower engine, this episode gives you the knowledge to avoid common mistakes, improve tuning accuracy, and get the most out of your combination.

In this episode:

• Why injector size should be based on your engine—not guesswork
• How to log and interpret duty cycle and pulse width
• The truth about the “80% rule” (and what actually works for Harleys)
• Why oversized injectors hurt low-speed performance
• Real-world guidelines for Twin Cam and M8 injector sizing
• The importance of spray pattern, fuel pressure, and injector quality

If you’ve ever wondered whether you actually need bigger injectors—or how to choose the right ones—this episode will save you time, money, and frustration.
