Engine time! build advice...
so i've been reading a lot and talking to folks about how to turn my little Street Bob into the bike I want it to be. I already have a Memphis Shades fairing, 10" San Diego bars, a custom Whiplash seat, and some dominion collection grips and pegs. Oh! and retro looking AMF style decals on the Red Denim tank too- The bike also got a RWD shock the other day...
So here's what I'm thinking for the go fast stuff:
S&S 124 big bore kit
Feuling 508 Camshaft kit w/lifters, bearing, gaskets etc.
Feuling Velocity Stack
Feuling Injectors
Feuling Beehive Spring
Feuling One Piece Push Rods
HPI 58mm Throttle Body
I'm still up in the air about exhaust. I welded something up myself that I may try- it's a two into one that i think should work ok. my dyno tuner likes bassani 2-1s and D&D cams- but as soon as I got this bike I signed up for an RB Racing exhaust. I haven't gotten it yet- so I'll need to put something on the bike in the mean time.
You'll notice I don't have cylinder heads here. I don't know- I haven't seen flow numbers that suggest that it's really worth it. The stock heads look like they flow pretty good. Some folks have told me the SE heads don't actually do anything compared to the stock heads on the M8.
One thing I'm still on the fence about is whether the S&S big bore kit or the Screaming' Eagle or the Fuel Moto big bore kit makes the most sense. I like the higher compression from the Fuel Moto and SE option- I like the size of the S&S and the Fuel Moto- but maybe the lower compression of the S&S makes sense for our shitty 91 gas here?
I'd appreciate your thoughts!
