I'd sure like to go riding this weekend, but I have my work cut out for me. But man, it will be fun when it's done. Hopefully I get this beast fired up by Sunday, but who knows. I'll give it my best. Either way it'll be running soon! Adding about 50 h.p. to my FXR should be a total adrenaline rush!
Ah ha, look what I fell into, this thread. Not stalking you Rich.
But that engine looks like pure sex. Keep it under 100 when the are cops around!
Best of luck with it Rich.......

No worry about stalkers Art, I'd bore them into moving on pretty quick. It is a beautiful motor and I've wanted one as far back as I can remember. Fortunately a god bro made it happen for me.

Not as of yet Tom. I still owe my bro $1500 on the engine. So I need to pay that off before I buy anymore parts. But I'd love to hear your suggestions. When $$$ allows, I also want to get the Thunderheaders and a Baker 6-Speed. Man, I'm going to end up with more into this then buying ba new Street Bob. But then again, a Street Bob won't perform like this FXR.

Thanks Misfit, pretty sure I'm gonna love it. Hell, I loved it before the 111", now it's just that much more to love. My stock EVO has B-Cup jugs. This biotch has Double-D jugs

That's gonna be lots of fun to ride, the 111 in my heavy bagger makes it go like hell, just a quick roll on in first and second, even two up, picks the front up.
I have the Barnett extra plate disk set and heavy spring, holds good.
Tried just the spring first, but after breakin, I could make it slip in high gear two up.

****, I hear you Rich. I've got so much money into my FXR, there's no sense in ever trying to sell it. I'd lose my *** at any price. I've found that at a certain point, it's better to stop counting how much you've spent, and just enjoy the ride.
Clutch? I've got a Barnett Scorpion on mine. High $400's on Fleabay. Great clutch that can take a beating. Between your right hand, and that new S&S motor, I don't think that the stock FXR clutch will fare too well for very long.
