Default 95 cube from 88"

I have in the UK found a chap who has the ability to gas flow HD heads to suit Andrews cams!
Although he is 4 1/2 hours drive away its worth the effort.
I had spent nearly a year emailing the guy on various bits to do to the RK and after finally getting some money together am able to deliver my machine to him!
So, he's doing the lot! Heads gas flowed along with the inlet Manifold, Andrews T26 cams, 1550 Barrels, Carb rejetted and full Dyno.
Cannot wait to collect the bike, said something like 85BHP or more.
I like to ride around the 2000 to 4000 RPM so a great set up.
I have been sent pictures of the build which was good and I will put some pics on the site soon!
He had sent me a pic of the ports which had some grinding done probably on a flaw in the casting during the factory build, all that will be removed during the process.
The crank had 1&1/2 tho runout on the pistons were only 1/2 a tho difference. The builder said he has not experienced such a close tolerance engine and said that I should hang onto this bike.
Role on next week !

Andrews 26 cams work best at 9.5:1 compression. Have your heads set up for that.

I would hope you get more hp than that, I got 86.6hp,and 98tq out of a 95" with 204 cams, and NO head work.
So if he can't do better than that by 3-5 hp I would say hell no.

Is it possible to get 100/100 with a 95 inch, cam and heads? Or is it a pipe dream to try while still keeping a streetable touring bike?

Easy. Here's a carbed HQ's 98" kit. It couldn't be running a worse exhaust for bottom end, but runs very,very well.

Wat exhaust is it running? That's pretty impressive.

I'm in the same boat now. I've got true duals, and they do **** for low end. I think I'm willing to try to work around them instead of trying to shell out to replace them, though.

I think he was being a bit conservative when he said 85BHP as I am running a pair of V&H slip ons with very little back pressure, so I'll have to wait and see how it went on the Dyno next week!
