Length of 61" Cylinders ?

#1

Post by VT »

I've checked my 1948-'57 Service Manual for the length of 61 cubic inch cylinders and haven't been able to find that spec. 74" cylinders are 5.33". That spec. is easy to find in multiple places. Do you know the length of the 61" cylinders? Thanks, Bob
I don't know. Someone here might. V-Twin doesn't sell a 61" cyl. anymore - if they ever did.

They are about 1\8" shorter gasket surface to gasket surface.I will look in the shop and see if there is one there I can measure.

Nope, not the prez, just a hanger-on.
No dues. Sometimes people make a donation, but it's nothing they ever ask for.
