This post will show you an engine build (TC 88 B ) by Bean & springer of bigboyscycles...

Don't miss the videos at the end of the post, they take a bit of time to load !

I thought I would post some pics of the polished cases before assembly.
The drivetrain is stock H-D. It was brought in as a new black and chrome.
The motor is getting Candy Red powder coated, Big Boyz Street Heads & Cylinders. The heads and cylinders are also Diamond Cut.

Here is the beginning of the bike assembly, Gambler frame.

Today I finish polished the oil tank, coil cover and battery box.
Here are some pictures including some of the fabrication of the oil tank.

Here you can see the inside of the tank, all parts are stainless and fabricated at BigBoyz

Here is the tank before welding

This is the completed tank

This is the Coil cover and top motor mount/coil bracket assembly.

We are enclosing the center of the swingarm and hiding all the electronics inside. Including the ignition module, rear brake switch, ignition switch, circuit breakers and relays. I made all the covers out of stainless and they will be polished to a mirror finish like the oil tank and battery box. I will post pics of the covers when they are polished.

Splash gaurd after tacking the sides on.

Splash gaurd test fitted in swingarm.

Front swingarm covers

This is the electrical compartment in the swingarm. you can see the brake switch. Above it is a mark where the ignition switch is going.

I finished polishing the swing arm covers today. When I made them I evidently forgot to put a hole in for the ignition switch, took care of that today before polishing. Not so bad if it were a round hole but this has two flat sides to lock the switch from turning.

Here are the 3 finished swingarm covers/splash gaurd/electrical compartment. The tools were left in the pictures to show the reflection of the polishing.

Splash Guard

Top and bottom swingarm covers, ignition switch, and brake line hole.

Today was the assembly of the pistons, heads and cylinders. The heads are done by Big Boyz Cycles (of course). The cylinders and heads were then sent to Diamond Heads in Las Vegas, not any of the copy cat heads I have seen even come close in quality and shine. The diamond cuts are very hard to get a picture of. I took 44 pictures and only a few show any detail, they are posted below.
