Nice job. And the bike looks good too.

 

To be totally objective, I have to say that I do not have experience with them over a really extended time frame (ie 50k miles), however, I will say that I am totally confident that it is A-OK.

I've talked to the guys @ JD's about it, as well as TR @ TMan. There are a LOT of them out there that have been on the road for a very long time.

For the record, I've only installed them in Baggers ~ and for guys that do log some serious miles.

Get'm & ENJOY!

 

Right on. I appreciate the help and advice. I guess now it's all going to be a matter of cost. I know more power = more money, and I'm prepared for that. It's just a matter of exactly how much power:cost I'm willing to go.....hummmmmm??

I'll keep you posted of which way I head with this.

 

What a ballsy torque curve! My builder was trying to sell me on the idea of a 106 build. I wanted to keep my flywheel and the 4" stroke so I'm going 107"oversquare instead. Seeing your dyno sheet makes me want to invest in Dunlop/Avon/Metzeler !!!

i have definitely been putting some miles on it and the real world rideability is awesome. the last tank of gas was a great all around indication of the riding behaviors. there was a couple of days of two lane commuting, a 40 mile interstate run, and some sit-and-go on the way to the mall. it behaved flawlessly in all situations and the power is always on tap when asked, down low or on the top end. 0-70 through 3rd gear or 70-100 in 6th gear faster than you can almost process what is going by..lol and yes, it is hard to resist twisting the wick. even through all these conditions and twisting it hard frequently, i still got 40 mpg on that tank of gas. im guessing, but i think a long highway stretch will be close to 50 mpg. we watched it on the dyno with the cruise locked and 60 mph in 5th gear was running about 2700 rpms and 4% throttle. its a great package to say the least.

 

VERY nice!! Congrats!

 

An oldie, but a goodie. What fun it is!

 

Most members don't really have a good reason in resurrecting a old thread,but I glad to know your 5 year old build is still with you and your enjoying it.
