Posers' Coffee House, All Bullshit Accepted, Part VI
huh, whaddya know.......me too.....NOW!!! fml.
The black bike is just about ready to go tripping around the countryside. I put a set of quieter mufflers on, so's the Mounties and the Natives don't have an extra need to look my way. Don't need to get my brain rattled by the drone going across North Dakota anyway!
Currently 90* and 67%. Sweat material by any measure. Time to go for a ride!

My cases get bored today and hopefully the motor will be finished in a week or so.

So what happened?
Lost a wrist pin clip an the motor ate it up. Tried with a new top end but the DH crank went south on me. 3k in scrap metal now. Offerings to the gods of speed. Only thing salvageable was the casses. All bearings shot. Sent the cases to Kirby for a S&S 124" Timken set up. More $$$ but a 1 year warranty. Just a mild build but still should eat up almost any 107-110 out there.
Vee Twin is one of our dealers you want me to call Kirby and give him a poke or are you being patient.
Im being patient. He emailed me 3 weeks ago saying it would be 2-3 weeks so today I emailed him cause it was 3 weeks. So it will be one more week to do the bottom ent an prolly another week to do the top then ship it out to me. No pressure. Last thing you want to do is bug the guy who's building your motor. Gotta keep the internet chatter down as well. Hes a busy guy too with his drag stuff and family things. I want to make sure its done with the utmost detail. He is building himself an identical motor as well which helps. I just want a dang motor I wont have to open up for a few years.
