Great story Rob. It is great when you finally "get it right". Just goes to prove that there are many more "poor" tuners out there than good ones and that too is why I am still running my DTT, but now that you and Phil have 'em tuned in on SERT, I have ordered a TTS Mastertune and will be able to use your VE and timing tables as a starting point until I can either get to Dallas to see Ed or go to Bethlehem to have JD tune it.
You have also verified that we do indeed ride these "monsters" day in and day out. I know last I talked with you , you were pushing 17k miles in about 5 months or so of riding, and I am just shy of 18k in the same time period.
Oh, and Bryan, if you do hook up and go riding with Rob, be prepared to be "drug" through the twisties, the boy can flat out ride!!!

When Dalton (Guy) and PhilM have the time, I wish they would collaborate on a post describing how they worked with Doug Coffey on the design and development of what we now know as the Head-Quarters 120" kit. Doug has a 113" build in his personal baggger, but hadn't done a Twin Cam using the 4 5/8" crank (the 113" uses the 4 3/8" crank) and there were clearancing issues, etc. when you put that longer crank in the engine--it's not just a crank swap and assemble the engine deal. Doug hadn't done one of these before, but, with Guy and Phil working together, they figured out how to put this powerful, reliable, and fuel efficient kit together.
It's going to be winter in Ohio soon, Guy, so how about you and Phil writing up how you guys came up with this package?
I don't know how much longer my bike's engine is going to stay in place--I just bought a buddy's take-off '08 cyliinders, heads, etc., so if you get a line on a good 4 3/8" or 4 5/8" crank, let me know--and I'll be shipping my stuff to Doug for a 113" or 120" of my own.

Rob, glad you got the tune RIGHT!!! And, also, it's a great testament to BIG motors that owners actually ride these monsters (anything with 151 ft. lbs of tq is a "MONSTER" in my book) and don't just barhop them--4,000 miles--outstanding.
Let Pirateeye, Kevin from HQ, and me know when you get near N. Georgia; would enjoy riding with you.

I don't have a big build (yet), but I have been keeping my eyes open for a good tuner, & finally here is one close to home.
Thanks for the write up...It's always comforting to use someone that comes highly recommended.
