Yay, it's back together! Screw pictures, go for a ride before it starts f'n raining!

 

Yes, PM wheels. They were ordered in April.

 

Looks great dude !!! Those weels are gonna look really nice with that paint !!

Get that thing out in the sun and ride it !!!!

 

This bike is a drag bike, a record holder in its class. Not streetable I dont think but impressive. I read a bit on it over on the htt forum. Bas *** for sure. Alain and bacon your rides look f____n sick!

 

nice choice on the wheels - should look stellar.

 

yeh it is NOT really streetable- makes all it's power up top. just somethin i threw out there because I think PB got a bit short changed on his build. no need to go 124 to get good hp/tq numbers on a town bike. properly built 103 or 107 should be more than plenty with good manners.

Gearing is also key to a good engine build's performance so something like a 1.53 primary gear ratio and overall final drive ratio of say 3.25 would be bad ***, and take advantage of the built motor's higher rpm peak power band. 6th is still quite usable and 80mph would be about 3450 rpm. You don't need the 1.53 primary ratio to get 3.25 overall ratio but it helps. can get close with just a 30t front pulley and 68t rear pulley, that would put it at 3.06 with the stock primary ratio . stock overall ratio is 2.79 IIRC.. my ratio with the 68T rear pulley is 2.87. going to a 70t rear pulley is 2.95. The stock overall ratio will never feel perky no matter the build. who wants to do 51mph in 1st gear?? lol

and yeh - PB, Alain- top notch builds guys!!

 

I don't know Dog, neither pb or I are making big power , but we both went with lil cams. I could not afford headwork , or tb so that was my reasoning. With heads I would not have picked the present cam. The gearing does sit a little tall, but i cruise at 80 to and from work every day. By the time I wear this one out I'll have all the parts for a *** kickin build. For now I'll have to watch you guys spend your money.

 

Thanks guys.


I actually short changed myself on my build.

I can't make up my mind on the build. Keep thinking s&s 585 and flip flopping the cams.

Bobby Woods said 999 cams. Can't get over the racket the valve trains make with his cams.

Tman says 660sm.

I get more confused the more I think about it.

 

Thanks for the props boys.

And I'm looking forward to getting better pics of bacon's ride.

 

Yeah I'm definitely gonna have to find a better camera. Just don't want to spend money on something else I'll never use.
