One thing that'll make it easier is the fact the engine is mounted to the frame so the carb wont flop around effecting the emulsion tube coverage and float height. Im not worried about it really, looking forward to it actually.

 

The other manifold arrived today. Im going to try to keep it straight out like it is now but at least I have the option if I find I cant use the right foot peg.

 

Yeah those angle manifolds don't buy you much...best thing for that setup would be a set of mid controls.

 

Yup.....

 

"not much" might be good enough! Mid controls would be too close for my long legs.

 

It looks even bigger on the motor!!!!! Looks as big as the Quadrajet on my old Pontiac.

Love it, gonna suck your pants right in!!!!!!

 

Probably get a hickey on my leg.

 

Looking for cam input. Ive heard of the andrews cam choices, my engine being an 82. Certainly not travelling across the continent on this bike so practicality takes a back seat to abnoxiousness. I intend to rebuild the engine and retain electric start. Compression can be raised from the whopping 7:1 ratio but compression releases and headaches I dont want.

Thoughts?

 

the A2 Andrews cam is a go to for me in the shop as its more in the spot your driving to enjoy the ride - now blasting it - it does fall short as its not that type of cam

lineweber cams forget the letters numbers something like L3S I am thinking is purported to be the end all in shovel cams, I installed it and yes the thing works better then anything else I have used

black widow cams is another he is re making all the original sifton grinds in USA metal not balsa wood like the India V Twin sifton cams < don't get what going on with that

9 to 1 is also an electric start piston and they do make a hi torque starter 1.7 amps instead of the .9 amp you now have and it does the job so like all things Harley the HD stands for hundred dollars and you can do it

 

Reminds me of the plasticine cams GM put in the crossfire injected 305's.

Thanks Ill check em out. Im liking your second suggestion the most.
