    120ci = roughly 1900cc?

    Very nice Stix looks like it will be a goa. It will be good to see what it runs on the strip. Maybe if you put it on a diet the group 2 ANDRA index for Super Twin/Bike (ST/B) is 9.90.
    All the best.

    It isn't even the same bore and stroke as the 120R crate motor.

    While we are correcting things....what are the correct valve sizes Stix?

    cheers

    I have a evo in a 87 FXR that does a 9.8 second down the quater mile. The thing is this engine is a monster!! It has trease cases , s&s bottom end , carrillo rods , my own design pistons ceramic coated , s&s heads that were bought as blanks and they have my design combustion chamber. There is a shit load of other parts and work gone into this. I've lost count of the amout of heads ive gone thru to get this right. It's taken 10yrs to get it to where it is now. It doesnt run wheely bars or airshift ethier.

    The frame was made by a mate of mine who originally did his time as a aircraft alloy welder. It has been re=designed quite a few times but it has the same wheel base as the standard fxr rake and trail is 1/2 a degree steeper.

    Outlaw, would be good to see you at the track, you must be a great rider! what clutch are you useing & what gearbox?also what is your best trap speed? do you have time cards? would be great to look at them! what 60ft times are you doing?

    I think you have the John Treese EVO cases?

    the motors i thought you had was the John Treese designed Twin Cam, he came out with that design before harley, but not interchangable with HD twin cam. more like an EVO.

    The cases are John Treese EVO not a twin cam. The Clutch is a Barnett unit and the gearbox is a Baker 5 speed .

    I just race it in the streetbike class even with everything I've done to it over the years I have kept it registered. The last time I had it down at the drags was 07 with my work commitments and the miles I need to do for work it's just been to hard to get there.

    Hi Gentleman

    I think I might say this for quite a few on here! There has been alot of time and money gone into a motor that many of us have followed from the beginning.  As we still have the final chapter, to come,  to conclude the story  by means of the drag strip if you would kindly like to start your own thread on the below EVO that would be great!

    That way we can continue to enjoy the orginal story without the junk below. With all due respect!

    Thanks Jam

    even a damper will stabilise the front if ya feel the wobbles ,the extra power transfers energy and weight to the rear giving the front end a lighter feeling .youll know after ur first black stripe up the track ,good luck mate

    That's great you will be getting to the track!

    won't be easy the first time, will be good to see what trap speeds she does.

    hope your weather is ok over there, ours is all over the place.

    Cheers good luck

    This might sound stupid, but the HD breathers are still letting the crankcase breath?
    I only ask as I wonder why the aftermarket breathers would let oil out and the HD ones not.

    the Twin Cams are much better than older motors at stopping wet sumping at high rev's. i don't know much about Dougherty, but i like the s&s reed valve as it lets pessure out crank and does not let it return.

    the bigger you make the motor the more crank case pressure, specially with longer stroke.

    good to see you have it solved'

    buggered if i know why but i do my best times on hot days as long as humidity it not high,

4/6
