New VVT engine info

--- Quote from: Twolanerider on July 27, 2023, 06:37:16 PM ---So impressed by Shrader's logic on the new VVT engine I traded all of my bikes for half a new one. The rest of the new one is on layaway. Fortunately it's 116 brazillion degrees outside so not riding for awhile is ok.

I am insanely curious about which half you got?
Front half, back half, left half, right half?
I too may trade part of mine in to get a half and we could meet near Louisville, merge our respective halves and each take turns riding. I might suggest that we ride together but then photographic evidence would invariably appear, to live in infamy, like the picture of brother Hubbard riding bitch with brother Harry.

We'll definitely have to coordinate this effort. I'll get the back half. Transmission and split saddle rearward. However..... This whole Hubbard problem has worried me for a long time. Instead of riding bitch with Harry we could just fit this new rig with a pink sidecar? Maybe get a pinstripe artist to add "coal-rider" on the outside?
SHRADER:
That is a hell of an idea about the sidecar...
However we will have to choose a name for the colorway other than simply "pink", as that name is much too plain for H-D sophisticates like you and I.
How about "Blushing Flush"?
Ironhorse:
I'm not too hopeful about "beefier" anything.
The engineers design an engine. A cost analysis is submitted and the company looks for ways to "save money". That means pressed cranks and cheaper lifters. This means changing the overall specs like runout from 3000 to 10,000. You know the rest of the story. As the engines got bigger the Harley engineers wanted to add oil coolers. However the design department rejected them as they took away from the clean lines of the bikes. So for decades oil coolers were an add on left up to the owner.
We've all seen this movie before.
