Base map is now installed and I am going to put on a few miles on the motor today. The final build is as follows S&S flywheel assy, with the Timken conversion and STD 4.060 pistons at 10.5 to 1, cometic 030 head gasket, fueling cam plate, oil pump and lifters, Kury TC 24D cams, Zippers tensioners, taper fit push rods, S&S roller rockers. Heads were done by Zippers with a port and polish, cut 020, new valves, guides, seals and springs, HD TBW 58mm TB and 6.2 injectors with a T-Man air cleaner assy. New Baker compensator with manual adjuster and AIM 400 with orange springs.

After the base map was installed I started it up to listen to the motor. It is so quiet you can now hear the primary chain. I'm lovin this thing so far.

AIM 400 ?

[Unbalanced]

Clutch Diaphragm Spring

The 400 is a new one, had Frank Drago -Drago's Bikeworks- order it for me although it is not yet listed.   
Much better than the SE Version and not as bad to pull as the 480 either.   Depending on motor output you might get away with the 380, I decided to try the 400 and its working great.

Rode the bike today. Only put 20 miles or so on the motor. Was pretty easy on her. Clutch is nice, trans shifts very smooth and the motor is a beast. I may change the cams and go down to 5.3 injectors but only time will tell. I really think I am over thinking all of this now!!!!! LMAO!!!!

Nice Mike grats on the build, bet it felt like Christmas morning.  Look forward to seeing your results and tuned ride report.

[DCFIREMANN]

Harry I'm guessing 2 to 3 weeks. I am going to smart tune the bike in a week or so. THEN either the dyno for the final dial in or I am going with the ThunderMax and a tune if I can find someone close to tune it. Yes it was Christmas in April. Today I'm going to do 100 plus miles on the motor.

Canned map is still what I am running. The dyno at the dealership is down. They are building an entire new dyno room complete with a new dyno that will even do tri glides. The TC-24d's are similar to the SE-259's and HD has a map set up with the 259's and the 58MM TB with 5.3 injectors. I did change the injectors from the 6.2's down to the 5.3's. The bike runs great. Pulls hard down low and continues throughout the RPM range. This was the best build I think I could have done. I was thinking about a little more cam in the bike but for 3 to 5 HP it isn't worth it to me. I am not chasing numbers. I plan on pulling a Bushtec with this bike and the low end grunt is unbelievable for a 1000 lb. plus bike.

Any problems with compression using the 10.5 with the .030 gasket and 24d cams? Any idea where your CCP ended up?

[DCFIREMANN]

There are absolutely no problems with the piston, cams and head gasket combo. At least right now. Before the rings seated I had 165 lbs. of CCP. And remember Zippers only decked the heads 020. I was really going to change to a 590 or a 600 cam until I rode the bike. The TC 24d's are similar to the SE 259's The 259's have about the same lift but keep the valves open just a few degrees more. For 3 to 5 maybe a tad more HP it's not really worth my time or effort. It is had to believe how a 1000 lb. bike can pull down low with such a mild build. I think I really over thought the build when I was planning it. I did make a few changes during the build. One of the changes that I did was go to the 6.2 injector. That injector was way overkill for this build. The 58mm TB does flutter at idle but low RPM ride ability is very good. It's just a new sound that I need to get use to I guess.  I went back to the HD 5.3 injectors that I purchased with the 58mm TB. I need to get it tuned or switch to the T-Max soon as I need to check my mileage. The mileage is very important right now as I am planning a trip to Alaska in July on this bike.

I noticed this as well with my 58 at idle.  Tuner said there's not much they can do with it

Axel told me after the tune it should be much better. I hope he is right.

Dawg can you tell yet where the motor feels like it comes alive or is it alway ready to go

[DCFIREMANN]

It is alive as soon as you come off idle. It pulls very good throughout the power band. I am very happy with the build. In a couple of weeks I will get it tuned and then we will see the curve and the numbers.

Thank you Dawg! Sounds like I should continue on in the 113/24D direction

[DCFIREMANN]

I don't think you can go wrong. I have a 117 kit and it is still sitting in the box.
