fitted the 625's today. Haven't ridden it yet but if it goes as good as it sounds I may not worry about bumping the CP and re fitting the 640's. Definitely needs a tune running a bit rich and hunts a bit at idle but seems a lot crisper on the throttle. Need to give the tappets a tweak a bit rattly fucking things I can never get them right. I guess better loose than tight. Also fitted a set of Wards Fans as it had been running a bit hot previously. Well they WORK GREAT, turned it off at 130 deg C and then switched on the fans, they drop the temp 1 deg every 5 seconds so I reckon my problems in the traffic could be a thing of the past thank fuck.
cheers

Hi is there a web sight for the wards fans.
Thanks Ozymax I will have a look at them.
hi ozy sorry to see you have the runaround its been & experance forsure & more expence , i think the 124 is more of a short distance motor with it's concaved skirt rear piston short skirt & long stroke a lot of thrusting @ higher rev's a roadglide is more of a cruise bike i think she would be better in a dyna , if you do cruise a lot i would set the gearing up for her on h/way use, as soon as my broken arm & dioslocated shoulder heals i 'am building a 124 hot street set for a friend 1999 dyna as she was a 95 c.i. i have taking her down the strip 1st & only time out @ 11.1 sec @ 119 mph, ( Krash knows the bike she 's black with orange flames paint ) , i'am setting her up with a S&S D full modded card with 2 thunderjets etc , I'am porting & polishing the heads myself with high comp using the kit flat top pistons when finished & run-in i will take to a dyno for 1st set up just as a check only as i'am not a fan of dyno's , then finnish the tune @ the strip that way i get to have some fun also i can let you know the dyno sheet , i'am worried that my arm maybe will not let me race like i use to as i have not seen anybody else do the start & the 1st 60ft time's that i do 1.55 sec 60fter's on stock tyres no sissy bars, i'am still laid up with pain could be a while before i can back to what i do , very bored @tm, haveagoodnewyear
I wasn't and wont question the tuner or his ability. No doubt his rep is good. So relax.
I'm a bloke who tells things as i see 'em, on the interweb or in person, just sayin!
ozzy, good luck with the endeavour and the chase, I've been there for sure.
I must be getting old though, put new heads and throttle body on my " 135hp engine" chasing more horses, six months ago. I still havnt put it back on the dyno for a retune and look see.
But fark it's more funner now to ride than it ever was. LOL.
