High performance clutch

chain drive conversion 21 front tooth sprocket to a 51 rear tooth sprocket

(bike is still all chromed out, being an ultra so its awesome to see the look on peoples faces thinking im an old man on a couch when that couch leaves them tied to a stump when i get on it!!!)

Just curious as to why you are going to a chain drive...??

If you are doing it because you want to, so be it... I've done many mods because I wanted to, not because they were needed...

But your build is not going to put out enough power for you to NEED to go to a final chain drive.... The OEM drive belt will handle your build just fine....

I have a very similar build as you are doing, but on an '03 Heritage.... 95" big bore, A26 cams, head work, and a dyno tune... It puts out 84HP and 98TQ (before the headwork).... I am running the OEM drive belt, OEM clutch/compensator/tensioner, and have been since I did the big bore kit 6 months after buying the bike new... I have had no issues with the drive train....

FWIW....
My heritage, which is 110 lbs lighter than your bagger, is quite peppy and very fun to ride.... but I think you may be overestimating how fast this build will be... I hope you won't be disappointed. It will be much better than stock, and a lot of fun, but it's certainly not going to leave many other bikes (unless they are all stock 88" baggers) "tied to a stump when I get on it"....

I have a '16 Bagger with a crate engine, and a beefed up driveline, that dyno'd at 135HP & 151TQ. While it always puts a smile on my face... there are plenty of bikes out there much faster... But then again, I really don't care...

I have pulled on plenty of bikes that should be faster than me....not built 117"s or 110"s or what have you but a few built 103s with cams and pipes and such. The build is already done. All that is left to do is get it dyno tuned really. In 2nd gear I can Crack the throttle and spin the tire from under me. And in first I can power up the front end about 4 inches when I get on it. Just a fun bike to ride. Final drive gearing is what made the difference for me. To be honest I prefer belt drive, do to not having to constantly worry about it breaking and its way less maintenance. But this made it that much more fun. There will always be a bike faster than mine no doubt. But mine at this point is still fast enough to suprise people that see it as an old man's bike when I get on it... as it is a chromed out ultra classic the main reason for the post was to see if anyone had better suggestion for cams than what I'm already running (andrews 26)

Looking forward to getting it dynod and I'll post the dyno chart when that finally happens. Once again. Just a fun bike, but I know it's not the fastest bike around. But still impressive for what it is.
