New Screamin’ Eagle 131 Crate Engine for Select Softails

The biggest, most powerful street-compliant engine Harley-Davidson has ever created is now available for select Softails.

The Screamin’ Eagle 131 is a bolt-in replacement engine for select 2018-later model Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycles originally equipped with a Milwaukee-Eight engine. It’s designed to run at high RPM and provide a significant boost of torque from cruising speed. H-D backed the Screamin’ Eagle 131 engine with a 12-month factory limited warranty when installed by an authorized H-D dealer.

The Screamin’ Eagle 131 engine combines the 4.5-inch stroke of the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine and new 4.31-inch bore cylinders with a patent-protected design. Milwaukee-Eight Extreme Ported four-valve cylinder heads are CNC-ported. They’re fitted with valves 1mm larger in diameter than the previous generation to enhance air/fuel flow and velocity. The 131 features fully machined combustion chambers shaped to optimize combustion efficiency. The engine is completed with a high-lift SE8-517 camshaft and high-performance cam bearing, high-compression (10.7:1) forged pistons, a 64mm throttle body and intake manifold, and high-flow (5.5-grams per second) fuel injectors.

“Our adrenaline-seeking riders asked for thrilling power and torque with reliability,” said Harley-Davidson Product Manager James Crean. “The Screamin’ Eagle 131 Crate Engine delivers exactly that.”
