A perfect example of what I was try to say.

That build obviously made heaps of power and suits your bike and the way you want to ride it.But it would be totally useless in a much heavier touring bike,that just wants to ride around useing the low to mid range that can be obtained with a different cam and engine /head work

Hahahahaha we would all love to have a 120

nobody

Krash,  curious to know your build, please.
 

Scotty i agree about Doug Coffey, he is a harley man with many many years experience.

i'm not one of these old barstards that try to have a go at a person new to Harleys. you have to start somewhere.

In the end if nobody and others are useing Woods cams and enjoying the experience, well thats the main thing, i've used Boby woods products and liked them, but i have not used his Cams, this does not mean i would not use them. just i have used his CV carbs still have a modified Woods CV44 rebel, that was a very nice carb to use on the street beautiful & smooth throtle responce got great fuel economy, But i only saw a 2hp gain over a Stock SE CV44, but got the woods carb cheap from a mate. later i got some stock HD heads welded up, got a mate to machine me a new chamber and design me custom pistons made at JE, got him to fit large intake valve seat used an S&S intake Valve and Kibble White Exhast, then got Cow to port the heads and test the flow, i used an old s&s D carb i had since 1983 had a set of s&s 625's in probably over camed for a 95" i put the s&s D on Cow set up a G manifold made a 1" adaptor, 3,000 and up it flew, did 121mph trap speed but was hard to bracket race, a bike bracket racer would understand, so Cow said try the woods rebel, but it just fell on its face the carb could not flow the air, so saw my mate in USA he had a few CV51 kits he picked up on E Bay gave me one cheap, i love it but the bike made more TQ & Power with the D, then after over 80,000k the flywheels twisted i did not know just my times were getting slower got that bad i was dialing in 12's and they were all thinking i'm a sandbagger. so i said to cow put my old Andrews 55G's in, he said ok but don't come crying to me if it's slower when Cow pulled Cams out he saw the oil pump stuffed and he could not even turn the motor by hand. we got some very low k 03 flywheels he converted them to timkin to match my 01 cases, Cow also welded the pin on the new flywheels same as he used to do with his old male female rod common crank pin top fuel motor ( four spot welds very neat ) so i had a new motor we put new rings in used same pistons put in a new HD oil pump same as i have had from new. i run Jims lifters stock pushrods 55G cams, its got that much TQ i can just go off idle roll throtle and do a 1.8 60ft and set the shift light at 5,800 do easy 11.5 best speed with 55G in has been 119.98mph. all it needs is DaddyRacer on it, but so far all its had is ol Krash

 

hi krash , cheers for the rest of the year,  i just weighed myself i'am 64.7 kilo ive put some post mid age spread on  esp over xmas holidays  , when i was racing  twin sport 883/350 AJS classic bikes 7 yrs ago i was only 54 kilo's ,  i will try to lose some fat some how  at 54 yrs old  iam getting a fat gut & arse  that iam not use to carrying around, if you like 1 nite after feb when  the weather starts to cool down a bit we can go to wsid &  have some fun on your bike ,   in the mean time i will try not to eat as much,   BURP

Hey DaddyRacer that would be great m8! it's more than just your weight your a great rider with years of experience up your sleave, you still fit into the same leathers ok. i got a small cheap trick that might give more mid range, but as always will see what the black dyno thinks. i'll see you down the track & work out best time for you to get down WSID wed night.

Cheers and thanks again m8, we need more like you!

hi, krash i don't  know about being a great rider  i just like having fun on a bike no matter where its at , but most of the time i will try my best if there is not too much danger  in it  i get off on the thrill a good bike can give , i have a new race suit ,  ive never weighed this much in my life ,    catch you up,     BURP

Thanks Guys fior your input, I seemed to have opewned Pandora's Box with the Cam issue.  I have settled on the Andrews 37H Cams, SE adjutable push rods and ported heads as discuyssed.  Money is drying up rapidly can I wait on the big bore kit and only fit the heads and cams? i know the is nothing more inportant than cubic inches but will the performance inprovement with out the 103 kit still be noticible?

Dave

I'm waiting (im)patiently for my ride to come back. I'm getting the S&S 106and a 510g cam installed, should have it back this week, I'll let you know how it goes.

I've been assured that 'll be giggling like a schoolgirl.

MMM, schoolgirls, but that's another thread....

Can i ask where and how much you got the s&s106 kit from/for?

Thanks

 

Steve,

I got the guy building my bike to get all the gear for me, so thats the 106 kit, the 510 geardrive cam, adjustable pushrods and all the gaskets etc for about $2500 off the top of my head. I may have been able to

get it cheaper myself from other sources but he's looking after me with the build and he's got to earn a living too.

Cheers

 

Yep, first thing I wanted sorted before we decided which way to go, I'm no mechanic, so the info on this forum has been invaluable, all good.

Biff, you being in Kal, can I ask who you are trusting to do all the work on your motor?  and what other parts did you have to upgrade (that didn't come with the kit) to accommodate the increased cubic inches and HP/TQ/compression?
 

Berms,

Mark from KB American Cycles here in Kal is doing the work for me, He's been in the game 25 years and I've seen some of his work, needless to say, I'm happy with him. As for other parts, adjustable pushrods and gaskets is all that is required. The S&S 106 is pretty much a bolt on job as is. I already have a heavy breather, powerduals with monster ovals, tuning is by way of SEPST. Latest update is that it should be ready by the weekend, fingers crossed.

Great thread and great replies!

Keen to see how to S&S 106 build works out... thinking of heading down that path myself.

Thanks Biff, so you using your stock heads? Did you get 'em cc'ed or ported or anything?

Thanks, berms

 

Berms,

just using stock heads for now, have to keep some money in the bank!!!
