Great thread Tom! Lots'a good info, documentation, "how-to", pics, etc...
I will say that was there when This bike was tuned and rode it afterwards. As I said then, this is THE fastest/quickest Harley I've ever ridden.
I have basically the same HQ120(121) motor (only 575 cams @ 10.5:1) in my RG and it is a STUPID fast Bagger. It's also built for daily riding and cross country trips. I've had it on one 4k+ mile ride and it was awesome. In fact, it averaged 46mpg, with a high of 50 ~ at elevation.
As far as shaping valve guides go.... Doug has been doing this since the late 60's and has tried everything (at least once). If it were of value to the build (as ordered - or ever?), I am sure it would be done.
Regarding Ed @ www.thedynodifference.com, I know of several folks that have traveled a good way (to Dallas) for his work like: Pittsburg, PA., Dodge City, KS., San Antonio, Houtson, etc. etc.....
I have just installed a Baker six speed on my Dyna and I love it. No more Vibrations in 6 gear. The gear ratio are much better then my old 5 speed which I have for sale. I also installed 34 tooth spocket on the transmission which give me a 3000 rpm at 90 miles an hour in sixth. I believe a stroke motor run better with taller gears. Just my two cent.
Took a snapshot with a white towel reflecting in the chrome,
so you can read the lettering.

you've raised the bar one too many times now, how the hell are us mere mortals supposed to keep up?!
Let me put it a different way,how do we define happiness with our bikes,
is it emperical(experience) or something inside us, some factor that needs more.
Maybe an anology will clarify,
I'm lost in the desert, I'm parched and hungry, I stumble upon an oasis, bedraggled and near death,
they take mercy upon me and throw me a scrap of bread and some stale water(stage I)
I am totally happy and my life has been spared.
Now a rich man walks into the same oasis, and he is given the same scrap of bread and stale water, he is outraged,
he had been expecting steak and fine wine(stage III 113"or more)
and he is totally unhappy.
Mud, what you are doing is showing people pictures of steak and goblets of fine wine,
when they have been happy with stale bead,
you are contributing to the unhappiness of many owners,
I know you are trying to be helpfull,
but think of the unhappiness you are spreading.
Hopefully, by now you realize this has all been all in fun,
but there is a very small grain of truth to it. Peace.
A great parable you've written there mad.

Had any problems with with your belt? I really like keeping
the stock primary setup.
Makes for a good sleeper.
Could you post a sound recording?
I bet with your suspension mods and this new monster motor
there's a Hayabusa just waiting to get slain. Keep posting!
Not so sure about that busa statement dl.
When I was at the strip, there were a couple running,
and they are FAST... I think in the 9s??
and around the curves, I doubt as well...
the variable pressure clutch *feels* like stock.
but, I believe the purpose is designed for prevent slippage.
faster it spins, the counterweights are thrown outward,
clamping the discs and plates tighter and tighter.
That's how I understand it.
No problem with the belt.
As I understand, keep it properly adjusted.
Too tight..... you're gonna break it.
Too loose..... you're gonna peel the teeth off.
read what Monk says below......
I did a couple sound recordings last Texas tShirt December
and not all that good a camera, sound or image.
custom Levi501 helmet mount
I need some editing SoftWare to delete the irrelevant time
they are here....
.
Modern belts will hold up pretty well, under pretty much anything you throw at them.
A chain will transfer power a little better,
but you'll burn through clutches launching hard long before you'll go through a good belt.
I've gone through two clutches, and many tires,
and still on the same stock HD belt @ 160hp 120 tq.
The 1125s put out 145hp stock, and they use belts as well.
They've really come a long was since the early 90s.
Well put.

thanks Phil, I've seen a few build threads you've done.
great pix and data always..
How many HQ builds on that 4000 mile cross country??
Seems I remember 6 or 8??
Ed is a great guy. I did 600 miles round trip for his magic.
He is all business. Very professional.
I had forgotten about these pix you snapped in September with your camera phone.......

Fantastic build and well documented as always.
From a person that's done a few builds, I think this quote says a lot:.

thanks for the compliment caps. appreciate it.
And you are right about Phil. He has built quite a few HD high performance motors,
so I appreciate that from him as well.

Thanks for the info Lenny.
I'm hearing a lot of good reports on the Baker unit.
It's on the list.

Reason: reload missing pic
LOL!! Damn Mud, you sure know how to make people envy you!! First the motor...then the girl!! LOL!!
I've been thinking seriously about a Hillside build....but you've got me thinking I should definitely check out Headquarters before I do anything. I've never seen anything negative about Headquarters...everything has always been very positive...so I'll definitely check them out before I do anymore motor work.
