Yea unless you are ready to spend some $ don't ride it, Ah go ahead what can it hurt? Im sureI would have done the sameit is just to hard to know its done and notsee how it runs.

 

Harleypingman;I see Kevin has his up and running would lke to pick both of your brains to get the info to possiblt pull the trigger on a HQ 113..trying to make shure it is money well spent...If You would'ntmind can YOU or KevinPM me with your thoughts on this and what would be the best way to go the idea of case splittin kinda scares me...Thanks

 

Feel free to shoot me a msg too. I'll be glad to tell ya about mine.

I did go w/Darkhorse to do my bottom end. I had them do "everything they had to offer" on the bottom end of mine for approx $2600, which included the crank. I just pulled mine out & sent them the cases. They sent it back ready to install.

 

Ditto

 

Dave, I sent you a PM--and I am easily the least competent to offer advice among Guy, Phil, Kevin, and Chris--they will all be happy to help answer any questions you have.

One attractive feature for me (since I am not addicted to power--at least not yet)of the HQ 113 is that it doesn't require roller rockers, bigger throttle body (although Kevin will recommend larger,4.89, injectors)and some of the more expensive parts that seem to be integral parts of other large displacement v-twin builds.

 

Goodyear slicks w/ VHT compoundat the drag strip. Better hold on when you drop that hammer, and lean way forward too. lol

 

Metzelers are softer but stick better i'm sure. Wear will be faster on the Metzelers compared to Dunlops even with normal riding, aside from hot rodding, hehe. Have fun...
