Making Love Jugs work on Evo Softail
Bought new, never opened Love Jug Mighty mites off EBay cheap. It said “Softail”… they are unopened and came with a bag extra with “touring mounts”.
So gonna fabricate it. Here’s how it would be if I install with what I have..
I think they are located too high. It’s basically aimed above the top of the combustion chamber… at where the spark plug and threads in the heads meet.
Wouldnt it make more sense if they were aimed at the top of the piston at TDC? Maybe 1” lower so fans center on TDC?
Don’t really relish the idea of relocating the coil either… shoulda went LeNale. Also will be doing something about the name showing… tacky.

I never saw the point in these, for one, your leg is in the way of the intakes and for second, if it's midday in Death Valley, blowing 120F air over your jugs is not going to do very much, other than blow 120F air all over your jugs....and you should be hiding in an air-conditioned bar in that sorta weather anyway

Sorry guys, but my goals are completely different. I want to go fast. My goals at 10.5 maybe a 10.6 quarter-mile time. That’s first priority. So the Cam that I select the compression that I select it all has to do with making absolute power. I have a heat problem because I’m running a big motor with a lot of compression. Anything you can do to bring that heat down is a good thing.

Have a buddy, two bikes. One Evo 127 with stock FXR and 130 tire, no shift assistance, no slick is running 10.7. His other modified FXE frame with 130 street tire no shift assistance, no slick is doing 9.80’s. It’s doable. This guy can ride. Really ride. Back in the day his FXE with a 103 shovel and street tire was doing 10.50’s. My entire issue will be launching. Traction is the issue. He thinks I was crazy to try it with a softail frame… he’s probably right.
