Thank you! Torque is spot on! No need for high rpms.

Looking Good. Mine is overdue and should be ready soon. I can't wait to see where mine will land. My Star heads should make up for a few cubes.

Oh definitely! I wish I went with headwork but I'm thrilled with my usable torque. From 70-100 mph my torque keeps pulling harder. That's what I wanted.

Can't go wrong with Star Racing. If I lived closer I would have an engine built by Star without a doubt. My guy did a great job though.

Mine's a hot rod dyna that will see the high R's often. It's All S&S and I have a bottle.. If it was a bagger I would have saved the headwork money.
They do look good.

Yep looks like maximum volume for all out racing. Looks very good for your intended purpose. NOS should make it come unglued! Looks like we have opposite purposes but our machines are purpose built for us. I'm sure you'll be as happy with your's as I am with mine. Enjoy!

Default Lovin it!


Just took my lady over the Beartooth Pass last weekend! Awesome ride, bike wasn't e even feeling the climb up to the top at 10,947 ft! That's what I wanted! To have that scenery in my backyard and the torquey bagger in the garage is a real blessing. I'd like to give a shout out to Strokers USA in Lander, Wyoming for doing this great build. They have been great to work with!
The bike in the picture is not my bike.

10,947 feet makes our climb here in NH look mild.

Looking at doing that ride next summer, the wife's aunt lives in Fishtail and has been after us to come out for quite a few years now. Glad everything turned out for you, enjoy the ride

I don't know if you've been over it before but I will say it is a beautiful ride. Fishtail is pretty remote. I like that area!
