Back Together
February mods finished in March. Just fired it up today and went for a break in ride. 107 (Hillside bore & Pistons), Woods 555, Thundermax Autotune, SE 100 heads, 50mm SE throttle body, Jagg 10 row mounted up out of the mud flap zone. Also found a SE bar clamp tach mount and painted it black to relocate my speedometer up there so it is always in view. I had to lengthen the wires to get it up there. The bike didn't fire right up because I forgot to put gas back in it, this was probably good because it let it crank a few times and build oil pressure then I saw the gas light on. Fueled it up and it fired right off.

Thanks, with the autotune I don't have a need to put it on a dyno. Your build was my inspiration so I would imagine once it loosens up my numbers should be like yours. It deceivingly changes the speedo reading from 40 to 80 in fourth gear with just a temporary handful.

Quite a setup you've got the John ... dig it ....
I understand your bike started life as an '08 Low Rider ... you're sporting a Street Bob dash with Tacho and Speedo mounted on riser ...
V-Rod forks and brake setup ... what kind of wheels did you switch over to ...? Look good ....
Did you post anything about how you modified the Electra Glide rear brake caliper to mount on your swingarm ...? That sounds like a good mod ... allowing use of the floating 11.8 rear disc ....
Rocker headlight ... True-track ... is that a Deuce or Fat Boy rear wheel ...? When did you do the horizontal rear fender 'bob' job ...?
Very good look overall ... and congrats on your motor build ... well done ...!

Not sure why but that makes me feel good.
Oh yea, that's one of the best parts. A little scary at first, though. I was sure if I sneezed I would find myself going 110+

Regarding the touring brake, I posted about this in a different thread, search my post history, the touring brakes are available cheap on Ebay as take offs for trike builds. I'll look for the thread and post the link later.
Rear fender-I did the chop a while ago and milled my own under fender plate mount that doesn't show added a led bar to light up the plate.
Thank you for the compliment Chop. John
