    Just wanted to stop in and say hello.  I own a performance harley shop here in the USA. We have done a few kits for some members here, as Karl gave me the link to check out the site. Hope I can be of some help with the tech questions.

    The way the Aussie dollar is going at the moment, I expect a lot of people will be buying direct from the States.

    No more getting fisted by the local distributers.

    I like the idea of parity, 1:1.....mmmmm, cheap bling for the Fatty..............

    We are happy to help out with complete packages. We feel that a complete package is the best way to go as you are not worrying about if you have the correct parts and if all parts will work together.  One of the biggest things we see here in the US is miss matched parts. The customer pays out to a shop that makes claims about this kit they sell,.. but the kit is not REALLY a matched package but more so a set of heads that so an so ported and a cam they choose and you are off spending your hard earned cash on a kit that works only so so.

    We offer CNC ported heads that are machined on a 6 axis ( yes 6 not 5) with true learning porting. Ever set is ported and then test flowen to ensure that the ehad not only makes the correct amount of CFM but the velocity is there as well.  I posted in the PING thread and there is some info on how the head is really ported. Every head is then ported and matched to the cam grind that best suites the needs of the customer. All packages are proven hp/tq numbers.  Karls small 107 kit made 121/128 not bad for a small cam 107 kit with cnc heads.

     

     And yes Karl, and Mick, and Rick have been working with me to understand the accent. 

     

    so CHEERS to all

     

    here is a picture of a frisco style bobber we built , I built it fo rthe wife but now she wants me to buy a new Street Glide instead so it is going up for sale.

    I just received a box of bits from the US, Braided lines, Hydraulic Clutch, etc. Delivered inside a week, and even with shipping it still worked out over 30% cheaper than buying local. It's the way to go. Stuff Howard's import duty and GST. 

    Love that avatar mattro .. cheers.

    Hi Mungrel,

    I brought stainless bolt sets from alloyboltz.com in Florida, arrived in 5 days of ordering, and 40% cheaper than anything I could find local. (Also, really well packaged and labelled, highly recommeded to members.....no, I don't have shares in the company......)

    Glad you like the avatar, feel free copy and paste!!.........................I Love Strippers

    Cheers

    Matty,

    Know what you mean about the bolts. They dont look so good after a few years do they.  I like your ride. Looks very familiar ... as is you old stomping ground. Lobethal is one of my favorite rides. Is your Fatty EFI or carb?  Can you comment on the Power Commander III?

    Cheers, Mungrel.

    Hi Mungrel,

    The Fatty's EFI, as for the powercommander, they work well, get it set up properly on a dyno though.

    I had mine set up by Fred at Serco up here in Brisbane. (Serco are also the distributers of powercommanders up here too)

    You get a small power improvement, but the biggest gain is throttle responce and no crackling/backfiring.

    Having said that, the first one I got shat itself after about 3000klms, was replaced free of charge, and the next one has done 10,000, no problems.

    Cheers

    Matty
