At first glance, that seems to have alot of WOW factor......but when you consider the fact that it IS 96".....it seems more reasonable. That should give all these whining '07 owners something to turn a frown upside down over......


nogood o~`o

 

NoGood,

Picking up the new '07 UC tomorrow. I've already purchased and am waiting on stage II 103 Big Bore kit and Screaming Eagle Pro Twin Cam Ported "HTCC" Heads. (in new '07 SE catalog). This with SERT and V&H pipes and I too should be 100/100!!!

"BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE"

 

That should be a no-brainer! Congrats on the new bike, and dont forget to show it off here on the forum....


nogood o~`o

 

wnogood - Your build sounds like it will hit your goal on paper. The real ? will be the heads. I'll throw a WAG out there: 101hp and 106 ft lbs. Good luck and post the numbers when your done.

 

I got through the first two sentences and immediately put a bag of popcorn in the microwave until I read the rest of your post. LOL



Good luck with the upgrade. That is gonna be one hell of ride when you are done.

 

Good luck with your upgrades. Only problem is every year the bike gets slower and slower (if ya know what I mean - once you get used to the 96 you'll want more)

 

Damm!! Did I miss something?? A week for break in ?? Look at my sig and We did it in a days work then road it like I stole it... no problems so far. Is this normal, I mean a week?[:@] WTF

 

wnogood, maybe you should check the mileage in and out, sounds like
the tech is going on tour at your expense... LOL...

(Just kidding)

congrads on your build... hope it works out ok..

Peace, Ride Safe, Always Wear a Helmet.

 

The shop owner is one of those guys that is absolutely **** about break in. I have heard the procedure that he is describing, and it sounds like a good thing. Starts with a 30 second run, verify oil pressure and no unusual noise, then allow to return to room temperature. Then a 1 minute run, visual inspect for leaks, then allow to return to room temperature. Then 2 minutes, then 5 minutes, then at about day 3 or so, they will actually ease the bike down the road for about 8-10 miles. I asked the man why so ****......he said that "We expect to stand behind our builds at least as long as , if not longer than the MoCo does, and if I am going to do that, I am going to do it right, or not at all" That, my friends, is why they do all my work.....

This is the S&S break-in procedure you can find on their website. The last shop that did the upper end on my EVO had me do the same sorta break-in. It took a week for me to do. Lot's of trips around the subdivision. Stop, let it cool down, take another trip, etc, etc.

Ended up having to re-do the top end again after 3000 miles, but I'm a little suspect about the previous shops work. I took it easy on the latest rebuild doing pretty much the HD manual 'break-in' procedure...until I had around 1000 miles on the bike, Then I went out and 'ran it' up to the rpm limiter one time (6500 on my Dyna 2000 mod) then ran it up between 5-6K a couple more times. This really seemed to set the rings, as the bike ran better after doing that. Dyno (1600 miles after rebuild) on my EVO with EV27 cam, SE air cleaner, SuperTrapp duals-18 discs, and mild port job: 75.10hp/80.68tq rear wheel. Hp peaks at 5800, Tq at 4200 and is pretty flat from 2800-5000. Nothing special, but better than stock which was rated at the motor: 69.5hp @5K and 80tq @4K.

Break-in procedures are like oil....Everyone seems to have an opinion about what is or isn't good.
