My sportster 72 project
#11
I don't see any engine work or head work in there. You could gain a lot with some high compression pistons and head work to match those cams.
The rubbermount's can support up to .550" lift while the solidmounts could only support .500" in stock valvetrain form. If you're running an 883 head, you need to verify cam selection to make sure you don't get valve-to-valve contact. This starts to be an issue at about .220" TDC lift.
If you run a big cam without higher compression or headwork, you start to have problems because of the aforementioned clearances but also because the cams bleed off the compression and could cause you to lose power/torque if not properly matched to your engine.

I got a sportster 72 wasn't going to do anything to it ... But then winter hit I found my self being pretty bored so I decided to do alittle transformation .. Broke my foot right before I started haha ended up without a paycheck .. But once you start something like this it's pretty hard to stop so I managed to hop around get it done .. Still have quit a bit more to do but it's coming together .. Tried posting pics of whole project haven't figured it out yet ... Any ways ... Daymaker .. Andrews n8 cams .. Powder coat .. Bigger white walls rims off a nightster .. Upgraded Harley speedo .. Burly slammer 10.5 shocks.. Willie and max swing arm bag .. Willie g derby and timing cover .. Made tank lift brackets my self out of some stuff I had laying around I relocated my ignition switch left coil haha need to buy bracket but still look alright .. The cam lift is .500 I don't remember duration .. Haven't gotten the dyno tune .. Ran out of stuff to sell lma lol to finish the bike !!
I love the looks of the 21" wheel on my 02!
Not thrilled with the slammers but they do look cool and it is your back after all.
Can't wait to see what else you do to her
