Here's a look inside the beast ...





These are the BMO Products Velva Touch lifter blocks ...
The look that we was after was the late 40's early 50's stock H-D motors from that era ...



Carved out the look of old from em ...



And had em plated ...

Motor case is made by STD back in the 90's ... It also saw lots of craving ....

Well .... I thought I was done ...
Owner called ..
Said he had one more item he wanted me to make look good ...




Since we have the whole motor Polished Aluminum, he wanted the top motor mount polished aluminum too ...
Going to do some trimming on it cause we're not going to have a coil hanging from it ...

Here's a thought ...



This piece of Hi-Tech takes the place of the coil ....

Problem with that one is with the switch in there it'll be getting real busy in between those cylinders and the intake. Did something similar for a partner's bike who went dual plugs. Ended up having to space the coil mount out a 1/2" for clearance.

But you gotta put the switch somewhere

So much for that thought ,,,
That cool Hi-Tech goodie will not work with what we have in mind of doing ...

Going to be needing that room to mount up the Speed-E-Shifter ...



So it's back to doing a trim job on just the mount ....
(And here I thought I was talking myself out of some millwork)

Do a mock up, intakes may be different enough on that versus a stock shovel it may work. Did the dual coil mount on mine but I have the tank dash switch so my coils are tucked in a bit
