Default 143" Build
Just recieved news yesterday from a client near Ann Arbor, Mich, of a custom-built 143" we shipped to KJC for his big-wheel bagger build.
With an odd pipe arrangement it went off at 167 hp and 156-almost flatline torque, as we were told.
A JBV Racing pipe would've been our choice.
Our J&E 6cc dome pistons, our headwork, and an S&S .640 set at 11.2 cr.
He's happy.
Scott

Yes.
Haven't seen any pics yet, but we heard it is destined for a bike magazine.
The client also owns the "Goldhammer" bike, as he has told us.

Graham,
That very well could be, where that bike was built.
