Engine build

Having two bikes doesn’t resolve that by the way. It just means you have 2 project bikes instead of 1.

You can GO, and take your facts with you, SIR!:down:






LOL, reality hurts because its just so REAL man!:angel:

Cat 3 cams. Custom length non adjustable pushrods

I'm glad you found it man. Did it happen running around or dyno testing?

If their dimension is correct to your valve train mods, swapping them by mistake still shouldn't be an issue. The difference between the intake and exhaust pushrods would be the same as the stock difference. Did you shave the heads? Different pistons?

I'm super curious!

OK, well good to know.. and glad you caught that. I'm surprised it caused a bad problem, but maybe the Cat 3 cams were enough to get things jammed up.

BTW. If you're referring to the NRHS Cat 3 cams, thats what I'm running in my Sportster as well.

Nothing wrong with having 2 projects...

 

[mike lowary]

Yep. Those are the cams. Dan said the piston to valve tolerance on my motor is close enough that having pushrod reversed would cause an impact.

Is no one going to point out that SHE suggested he get another bike!!!??? You sir, are a lucky man.

 

[njloco]

That's the problem with the country today, when she wanted a new car, she went out and bought it, when I want a bike, I go out and buy it !

 

[Cooter]

Preach!

Picked this up Sunday. 03 xb9s. 7k miles. The carbon rear fender is for sale btw.

 

[34nineteen]

The carbon fender is interesting. Nice bike, nonetheless. I see you got the Race muff on this one.


PS. How close is the RH exhaust outlet from the tensioner pulley?

I’ve never heard a race muffler in person. I like it. It’s in good shape too. Pulley to exhaust outlet clearance is .723

I think its a great sounding pipe, but it supposedly creates a hole in the midrange of the powerband. My first XB had a race pipe, but I never noticed any sort of lack of midrange.

1170cc. Updates soon

 

[Cooter]

That sounds super cool Mike. Looking forward to specs and pics!

Holy crapsicles! Pics or it didn’t happen! :up:

 

[mike lowary]

Ok. Mite not be going 1170 just yet. Couple irons in the fire at the moment. Need to get more info on this before I commit. Hopefully have some answers soon as I’ve already shipped out engine parts. In the meantime. 6061 billet 1/6th turn throttle tube.

 

[Cooter]

1/6?? :eek-new: Thats commitment!

 

[outthere]

I found that my throttle hands not educated enough for a 1/6 turn throttle. Had a difficult being smooth unless it was pinned.

 

[mike lowary]

And for the review. Outthere nailed it. For me personally, 1/6th is too much. Unless I had it pinned it was hard to be smooth. I wanted to do a trial run in aluminum first anyways. Was wanting the end result to be in magnesium. We will see

 

[outthere]

Nice to have the right tools at your disposal. I dearly miss my machinist friend.
