Evo Torque Arm
Despite having owned Harleys since the 1970s I only yesterday discovered the Carlini Torque Arm,designed to stiffen the righthand side of the engine/transmission on tuned Evo motors. Soundslike the sort of thing I should have! 
I have searched this website andthe internetand found Carlini's website. Link:

Are there any other torque arms out there? Has anyone any experiences of these things they would like to share?
Look forward to hearing from you!

RE: Evo Torque Arm
There's another remedy out there fromwww.alloyart.com,it connects the bottom of the transmission to the engine to accomplish the same result. Although I don't have it on my bike, I have read favorable reviews about it. It seems like it would be a easier install and I think it costs a little more than the one your looking at.

RE: Evo Torque Arm
We learn something new each day! Never heard ofAlloy Artbefore, so many thanks for telling me about them. Looks like the TXRdoes a different job to thetorque arm. And their Tri-link front stabilizer looks like another good idea.
In fact fitting one of each looks like a good idea.... [sm=confused06.gif]

The torque arm doesn't have anything to do with the Evo. It was needed on the first few years of the Dyna frame because it was so flexy that it would twist under the torque of even a stock engine and crack the primary case. Their solution was to solidly bolt the engine case to the transmission case. While this obviously doesn't strengthen the frame, it did seem to prevent the excessive flexing.

Carlini made the harley one also . There is a need for it if you have a large motor . The alloy art is a total different peice that proforms a different funtion . If you start to have inner primary problems (broken) a torque arm will help .

I am trying to avoid any primary problems, also improve handling, which is where the Alloy Art stuff may help further. But I will take this part of my 'project' one step at a time.
My winter project is 'handling'. The Fournales airshocks went on the rear end last week, the Hyperpro progressive fork springs are waiting to go in, new tyres are ordered- this thing will be chasing sport bikes by the time I finish!

I have the Carlini on my scoot, although I have never had an issue with flexin, it was handed to me as a gift and I figured it was addin some rigidity to the whole set-up. Just gonna pop it off this winter to have it powdercoated black

RE: Evo Torque Arm
Gentlemen,
Just five days ago I discovered an accessory I didn't know existed. In that short time I have learned all about it and decided I would like one! I can even report that I have just bought a Screaming Eagle Race Brace for my Electra Glide Sport, at a bargain price. It just has to travel across the 'pond' to the UK and for me to fit it. [8D]
I have also learned about the two Alloy Art stabilizers and will investigate them in easier time.
What a great thing this Forum is! Many thanks to you all for your help. Have a wonderful Christmas!
