That's a really nice one. Tman suggested for me to use a 660sm. But I'm thinking 662-2 BC its gear driven.

Like the sound and performance of Woods new cam 999 but its chain driven.

Also looking at S&S.... Too many choices.

Nothing wrong with chain driven imo. My bike will have 20000 miles this summer easily. Same chains and shoes were just fine at 16000. I need to find a set of used heads at some point. I 'll start shelving pieces for a build for next year hopefully.

JMHO- work with one knowledgeable and reputable builder it will be easier vs buying parts and putting them together later. been there done that many times. It only gets easy to DIY a solid, performing parts build if you fully understand engine dynamics, cam theory and can do all of the math required for the build. I'm just sayin..

I'd still vote for one of the HeadHoggers builds, one of the more impressive ones I've seen. PB you have Hillside heads though so I'm surprised they can't hook you up with a major HP/TQ 107 build based on those heads. their heads are very good.

Cdonis is right nothing wrong with chain drive cams.

Default Custom Breakout Fenders / Custom Paint

Finally got off work on a nice enough day to play! Rode her hard about all day. Got a nice sunburn to go with it.

Took some more pics, bit again I think they're not the greatest. Looking at the camera lens on my phone looks like its scratched.

Bike needs washed and polished, but i think thats going to wait a bit longer.

I don't think I'll ever get done with this bike. Every time I look at it I find something else I want to change.

Wheels are here, bullet headlight shell here, bassani radial sweepers and Arlen Ness 10 guage chrome air cleaner ordered. Need to order a JW Speaker to fit the bucket. Need to order some new turn signals in chrome hopefully with led lights.

The polished triple tree, lower legs, and black swingarm look out of place. Think those will wait a while.

My wild paint job still looks strange to me. I hope its just because its still new and not the fact that i put colors on that dont belong on a bike. Maybe that will change with time.

speaker? The paint is just different bro. I think getting the black wheels off is going to start to make it pop. How do you like the bars you have.

The Jw Speaker co makes the daymaker. Their version is a little cheaper.

PB looks great brother- you created a truly unique bike. new wheels will look good- maybe chrome those lower fork sliders as well. I don't know why but I'm kinda thinking silver crocodile seat skin and tank dash - not a light silver but a medium tone. - or an orange color that compliments the paint. with insane paint like that you gotta go big guns on the rest of the styling. the black up top is a bit hard on the contrast. but hell everyone's an artist right? what do I know.. ;p

The PM hand controls area nice touch. I wouldn't sweat the black frame that seems to work fine.
