My Hayabusa has two counter-balancers and puts out 170HP at the rear wheel and runs fine up to 11K on the tach. Balancers are no biggie...

 

if i ever split my cases on my B motor, i'm going to put in a welded forged SE crank, timken bearing, balance the reciprocating mass, & toss that pos counterbalance

 

thanks so much mr Elite HDF Member do you feel better know well i got my answers from the other members of hdforum thanks.

well off to have some fun you Guys Ride Safe and Have Fun. =)

 

Spinning an A or B motor beyond the point where the torque and HP curves cross is just abusing the motor. Plenty of HP and torque can be made with them and still maintain a useful life. Just depends on what u want out of it. I prefer to put many miles of pure pleasure on without having to rebuild every 10-20,000 miles. I figure my bottom end is good for another 100,000 and I can upgrade safely at any time.

 

hmmm,, i don't think i mentioned spinning it up to 8/9k,,, hold on, let me re-read my OP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, uhhh,,, nope

HD currently puts junk parts, & junk bearings, & crap specs & tolerances in their B bottom end, & tries to keep it from shaking itself to pieces by using a counterbalance WTF ?

as i said, if i ever pull mine apart, ( & it may be soon as my crank runout is at 5 thousandths < which should be rebuilt ) i'll use a forged A crank, timken bearings, & toss the POS counterbalance & have it balanced

 

So the A motors get all the good parts and the B motors get the junk? That just doesn't make sense.

 

Pooch you are sure missing the point on this one. You cannot "balance" an engine using so-called un-crap parts. It isn't the parts that make an engine shake -- it is the basic design. Now go practice yer bass son...

And motors run on electricity.

 

well, when HD calls a crankset assembly " good " to install in a B motor when it's twelve thousandths out,,, that's seriously fukked up,,, better hope that that counterbalance smoothes that **** out <<<<< NO FUKING WAY it will to a point, maybe up to 3k,, but after that,, that bike's gonna be shaking your molars out

the A motors " engines " get balanced at the factory

 

a reason why I will never own a Twin cam softail

 

sorry, doesn't sound like they were interested in engineering, to me he said remove it.
