Oh that would be nice.
One of these days I would like to build a bike around an X-Wedge engine.
I expect S&S to stop making them before I can afford to do it.
I don't see many using them...they are expensive and are not a bolt in...as I am sure you are aware.

I am well aware of the X-Wedge, which Morgan cars are installing in their latest 3-wheeler car. I suspect S&S landed on their feet with that order! Morgan usually have advanced orders for several years on their hand-built cars, so I suspect the X-Wedge is safe for now.

It was a lot of work and a bit of cash for those numbers. At least she doesnt leak oil all over the top end now! Lol. At least not yet. Guess I should be happy. She does run and sound great. Embarrassing my twin cam buddies would be nice though...

That would most certainly do it...and cost a lot less!

I can't see how you could straddle a bike in a dress let alone what would happen to that fruit hat when you put a helmet on!!!

Now if you were wearing a cotton dress when you passed them, that would be called embarrasment. More compression, more cam and slight headwork will work and would only need a pink cotton dress to pull it off - think about it over next winter or get a bigger motor, dress of color is your choice
