$200 total, the hole is already in the R1 for the T-jet so will see how that plays out, mine might be cheaper and don't know if T-jet is included yet.

 

Been chipping away at becoming homeless buying performance parts and setting up the 127". Purchased the Dragula 2-1 exhaust with 3" baffle, just purchased Rivera Pro Clutch with VPP, Sachs is starting on my heads this week and boring the Ultima R1 with Thunderjet. Have a S&S teardrop air filter system although I stare at the stock 80" round cover alot

Went ahead and purchased pistons and having the cylinders bored to perfect clearance and will set the ring gap, not going to second guess myself, will touch every part with inspection as this engine will be a biaatch to take apart in the frame. Motor is painted wrinkle black, need to paint the cylinders when I get them back and leaving the heads natural, will match my current engine and engine switch will be under cover.

Going to replace the faded chrome inner primary cover, taking my gearing back taller to not overwork the bigger engine with another trans pulley and allow 6th gear to be a true overdrive that will let the big engine work in lower ranges, currently set up with a 30 trans sprocket and 3.37 primary gearing, the bigger rotating mass will be worked to death and say wheelie prone Will start posting pics when everything starts coming together.

 

Just an opinion: if you're going this far as to strip it to the inner primary, I'd look long and hard @ a chain conversion.


not saying the belt won't take it, but it won't take it fast, for long

my whole conversion was right around $400, (~ $100 for the baker front offset sprocket, 1/2" IIRC, $75 for PBI flat rear and Vulcan 5/8" spacer, and $200ish for the EK ZZZ 530 x-ring.


i've beaten that setup to death more times than I can count, and she's still kicking (although I seem to kill a rear sprocket in ~ 9-10k miles)

 

Weak link syndrome, I know where you are going.

 

You are both sick. Ain't it great!

 

Oh goodness, you ain't lying. Where the heck is the other one, John Mia?!?! He's another one that buys a brand new crate engine then opens her on up...
I guess I'm just jealous.......

 

hey hey hey, in all fairness, I never opened mine up!

 

Speaking of weak links,
Don't forget about the EarthX battery.

Sooner or later, you'll be looking into one.

Mine is going on a year, never saw a tender, whether heat soaked or freezing, cranks the 111 without hesitation.(knock on wood)

It also survived a overcharging regulator,which pegged the volt gauge, although I caught it pretty quick, just unplugged the stator and rode home.

 

Puhleaze, you've posted links on your build threads to carburetor upgrades and head shavers. It's just playing the waiting game. That's it!
Lol

 

Will check into that, always had good luck out of a HD

Been thinking alot about having my metal health being judged in the Evo section and this comes to mind
