Bridgeport & micro bore.

Axtell cast iron barrel's in place.

Late EFI heads, have flow tested.

Best workshop in Sydney by far without a doubt. All word of mouth.

Just spare 2-3 hours if Cow starts talking to you haha. Lovely bloke though.

Jimmy is also a gun tuner. Has a lot of runs on the board.

Just Waiting for parts from Hammer, that are stuck in Customs. been stuck there since last week.

should do a round of the Atura state champs Krash, get a few runs and good categories for DYO.

Sweet, hope you can make it up I would love to see the bike in action. A couple of Ipswich boys up for a beer I'm sure

new JE forged flat top, have to send to have skirts coated
stock flywheels came out like new, will dynamic balance & weld crank pin

Ay Krash

thank's Baloffsk[.

took the pistons to Comp Coatings Guilford NSW, had them dry lube coat the skirts. they did a nice job.
bead blasted heads to clean up, valves came out like new, intake port looks good stock. will press guid out & Cow will do a light port job fit larger intake valve. then press guid in and round off bottom of guid for improved flow.
exhaust port looks ok but will add some to port floor , light port job press out guid's round off end for smoother flow. fit high performance valves stock size 1.57". if you can see that line scribed in head, thats the guid to show new barrels.

got a few carb's I could use. this one is the S&S D it has adjustable air bleed and a thunder jet . I used this carb on my kick start only shovel for 15 years. that bike flew. also the S&S D is what fed the air & fuel into Australia's quickest Street Harley that ran, 9.8 138mph, no wheelie bar stock dyna twin cam frame, no ignition cut out just rider foot shift.

well got chamber to right cc so will be 10.5 comp, to go with Hammer 560 impact cams. ports been roughed up intake looked good so has just been matched to the Hammer intake manifold, welded up exhaust port floor for a D shape. getting new bee hive springs to set up for 650 lift new larger intake valves and new stock size 1.57 exhaust. setting it up for the 650 lift even though the cams only have 560 lift as want springs to last a long time. I plan on riding this bike a lot of K's and drag racing it.

also tossing between what carb to use, have the Wood Rebel ( modified SE CV 44 ) Bob Wood call's it 43.5 as that is the size he machined Venturi too. 

Heads almost finished, have the new valves & springs, Cow at L A Cycles  did seats on his Mira Centronic. It does really nice accurate valve seats & self alignes to seat via valve guide. with a nice finish for long life. Was Lucky Rams Heads had the valves I wanted in stock, these day's no one in Australia seem to stock anything as everyone buy online, I try to support Australian Business's. but just how I am ( old school ).  Also he has to check valve to valve clearance via the cam spec's. as larger intake valves & setting up for 650 valve lift. I was hoping to have it finished to ride up Gladston for the all bike drags ( maybe next year ) . but hope to get it to Sydney after I put a few k's on & get feel of it.

Seats being cut on Mira Centronic , I like the angles he uses too improves flow & gives improved TQ.

The heads with New Valves & Springs

Axtell christ I haven't heard of them since the 80's, shoot are they still about , yep googled them.

ha ha, you been around mate!! yes they are still there still going strong, all the Hammer 90 inch sporty's as well as 87inch (88 inch ) are all Axtell Barrels but Hammer use CP pistons. I wanted 87" (88) so there where oversize to buy over counter if I need latter on. the Axtell heavy but with cases bored out so far you need the strength of cast iron. also I'm an old Shovel man.

Mate the nostalgia hit hard and so I looked up Sputhe , Delkron, Branch heads, RB racing, Arlen Ness , Baker,Lienweber(spelling ?), Patrick racing, and a  bunch of exhaust manufacturers most are still going man.

Delkrons out unfortunately!

Hi John.R & thank's , sorry I was talking about the top of piston to the head clearance ( squeeze ). your right they run race motors with more piston to cylinder clearance, I just leave that up to Cow at L A Cycles he has built me motors for Harley's for a long time and they last a long time & perform. I was reving a twin cam he built for me to 7,200rpm all the time & stood up to it had almost 100,000k drag racing & riding all over the place when I sold it.

Ah that makes sense, thanks for the info. 

hey John, I meet Cow back in late seventy's early eighty's, has been Harley all his life and has raced Harleys so wealth of knowledge and not just old bikes they custom map EFI , he rides a M8 too. these day's Wisco good.
