 I rode Ghost Rider's 110 SERK while visiting Twolane in Joplin MO. this past weekend. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. If you want to know what to do to make one of these puppies run like a scalded dog, my advice would be to ask him what he had done to his.

Keith,

Just come from the dealer.  partway through 1500km svc, pipes etc and 0906.  Cylinders and everything good as gold so any further mods I'll leave for now.   I'll keep you posted.   

Likewise Ox, Cheers.

Hi Hoist. How did you get the compression up? Headwork or pistons?

That's Travis' bike kiwi. He changed pistons for the comp, and used 251's. Let him jump in and talk about the build. But it's nothing radical, and pulls real nice!

Keith, when you contact Ghostrider to find out what he did, would you mind sharing it with me please. I am keen to do some engine/performance changes, but need a couple of pointers in the right direction.

Thanks very much for that Hoist.

Keith, as you started this I will let you take it forward with Ghost Rider and just wait for your updates.

Appreciate all this assistance - cheers!

Hey Guys,

Sorry for not jumping in sooner.  I just missed this thread somehow.  I have exchanged a couple of PM's with Kiwi, but here is what we have been discussing.

First recommendation is to spend a lot of time talking with your engine builder and tuner.  You have to define how and what you want the bike to do in order put together the best combination of components to meet your goal.  My goal was a strong increase in low end torque and so we used these items.

SE251 cams
Horsepower Inc throttle body 51mm
Custom Pistons 10.5:1 compression
Cometic head gaskets
Rinehart true duals.
Arlen Ness Big sucker air cleaner
Screamin Eagle Race Tuner - "Be sure to ask your tuner what system they recommend"

After these upgrades and braking in the engine again, it dyno'd at 119hp and 123tq.  However, the "in the saddle dyno" is much more reliable than any machine.  The fact that guys like Spiderman, Silver-Black, Hoist, and Twolane, have ridden it and come back smiling means much more to me.

If any one has any other questions feel free to PM me.

Later,
Ghost

Hi Ghost Rider,

Many thanks for that it is really appreciated and gives me a good place to start from. And in my case I need all the help I can get!!

To say that I am not technically competent is actually exaggerating my capabilities! So if it is OK with you, and I need further assistance can I also send you the odd PM? One thing you may be able to assist with now is with regard to the True Duals as I don't know if this is just a UK issue or not. My bike has a sensor along the right-side of the exhaust pipe a few inches before where the slip-ons would attach. What happens to this sensor when you fit TD's?

The "before" was a stock 110, not mine (I think its been 18 months and several  ago)

Magellan,

Feel free to PM anytime.  I'm no wrench either, but you have a wealth of information at your fingertips on this site.

The Rineharts (and most others) have the holes for the O2 sensors in the header pipes and should swap out rather easily.  You could contact Nige (aka BalDeagle), he is on that side of the pond with you and would probably know more about the differences between US and UK bikes.
