HEY GUYS!---I run a 74inch pan .030 over thats it!. Its a 58flh motor in a 49 rigid. I had the stock flh cam reground,Just for a little more hangtime.,I did the heads ,all innards polished -the guides I tapered in my lathe to help with flow chamfered oil holes & painted insides for easy oil drain. The bottomend was also polished, I kept the stock factor & heavy wheels--I took the rods & used a 3/8 radius cutter for a 1-inch arbor hoiz. milling machine & milled a channel 90 degrees apart & .050 deep for that extra oil retention at start-up & when moving at 75 MPH for long periods!/My bike is geared so I can hold 65mph at 2950 or somewhere in that area!-Its just under 3000RPM. Open drag-pipes 13/4 by 40 inch long,,A completely reworked BENDIX carb. I had bored it as far as it would take-it!, & finally All was fine-tuned on DYNO after I put 1000 miles on motor!--I ride 2-up most of the time & have no troubles on steep grades being 2-up & loaded up with gear!--12V-IG. BOSCH PLATINUM PLUGS,& Solid core non supresion wires!--Bluestreak points, msd condensor,auto advance breaker/with the total ADV. being brought in at 2800RPM!. ITS a 1-kicker cold or hot! & the TOURQUE is AWESOME!---YOU have to build smart!,,Know where your machine will be living(RPM) most of the time & build accordingly!--WHEN I go SOLO,I really get to have fun & see what a stock 74 can do!---I hear alot of guys complaining that a 1200 is not enuff for 2-up riding in the hills!--HELL try mine!--I have no complaints!--CAM is degreed as all cams should be!-(you will be surprized at how much a cam even stock can be off!)--& that is LOSS of POWER!--MINE is set at 2 teeth from factory mark!--YES they will run by going dot to dot!--BUT IF you DEGREE your CAM & then take her for a ride!--ITS a new machine under you!---BUILD SMART!--I need a everyday runner, as this is my transport!--So clearences were kept tighter & I forgot to mention I used silicone impregnated slugs & totalseal RINGS-(WIESCO). The slugs have been in for 7yrs. now When I did the topend over last!. I have the bike on the road for 25+yrs. & did the Topend 4x in that time!--I put ALOT of MILES on!!!!!!(MANY MANY MILES!)-BOTTOMEND 1-time new berings & IM still at .030 on the jugs!-(TOURQUE-PLATES EUGENE)!.----RICHIE---MOST of all ENJOY what you build!,--Dont trailer it up!--They are meant to be ridden!
