I think the compensator would be a weak link - so that's why it was replaced.
I asked about the tranny and Wolf said it should be fine. I also asked about converting the belt to a chain- and although he likes the chain better, he said we'd only convert from the belt if it became a problem.

It is a little premature to throw this up..... It is not the final run - he is still Playing with it.... But this is where we are at right now. Maybe we'll get a few more ponies, maybe not....
If it stays as is, 130 TQ at 3000 RPM should feel pretty good!!!!!!
This is when I dropped it off.....

Woods 9f cam
EFI 58mm Throttle body

New Clutch cable (wouldn't be an issue on other people's builds, but mine was bad)
Oil, gaskets, fluids, etc etc
Labor
Tearing motor down. Machining the case, reassembly, and Dyno tune
Parts I already had that saved me some $$
Adjustable push rods

He showed me some crazy dyno sheets when I was there a couple nights ago.....
He showed me a 124 putting out 160hp I think..... Bike didn't come alive until after 4K RPMs- so it wasn't for my build..... But impressive.
I think hitting 130TQ by 3k RPMs is going to be an awesome cruiser...

And yeah, 5 months and $8500 is about right.
Some of the delays were my fault. I changed my mind from a 117 to 124 and had to reorder some parts.... Changed my mind on the cam too.... But at the same time, yeah the build has taken longer than I thought. But he is a one man show. I know that no one else but him has touched the build, I know it's done with only the best parts, and he stands behind his work, and is 10 minutes from my house.
He is a stand up guy, that stands behind his work, and I'd drop it off again in a heartbeat.
