I just ordered parts for my 117" - So I had to talk about it!!!!! I know I won't be able to sleep for the next few weeks!!!! :-)

I had Wolfgang Grasser in Baytown, TX do a set of heads for me a few months ago - and they have been sitting in the closet waiting on the 117" parts.....

Today I had Wolfgang order me:
S&S crankshaft
117" Jugs and Pistons (11:1 Compression)
New Compensator
a few other odds and ends parts to get the build going....

I am going to use my:
Stock throttle body - he will work it over some
Woods 777 Cam (already in bike) - He said he will use some different rocker arms to get more lift and duration out of this cam - Talking a little over my head here....

That's about it..... Parts should be in by, or a little after, our Memorial Day ride... then maybe around the 1st of June - I'll drop it off to get installed.....

STAY TUNED!!!!

 

Pretty cool, good luck and keep us posted. How long will the build take? Hopefully you get to ride soon...

 

After parts come in and I drop it off..... 3-5 week turn around - give or take...

 

Why did you wait for the riding season to start your build? That's what winters are for.


Good luck with the build. I enjoyed doing my 107" this past winter.

 

Should be a runner!

 

congrats and keep us posted!

 

Houston is so blasted hot and humid, I'd rather ride in December than July lol

 

Cool beans!I have a 117 being completed this week,I hope.

Keep us updated,as I wanna see how the two engines compare.

Good luck,and nice looking bike.

 

You bet!!

Feel free to post your 117 numbers here!!

 

Hahahaha!! I can understand! But, come December, I'm wishing for blasted hot and humid. lol
