Hoist - i talked to Wes at CycleRama. He ordered the PSI Carb and will do a back to back test with his 124 with Makuni 48mm.  He thinks the claims may be too good to be true but will test it.  He says he will get back to me in a couple weeks with the results. Bruce at PSI seems knowledgable but doesn't have any Dyno sheets to back up his claim but rather drops names of chopper builders.  it will be interesting to see what Wes thinks of it after testing it.

What ever became of this comparison with the Mikuni?  Which one won?

I forgot about this one! Whatever did happen with that Free. I've decided to stick with my S&S Super for now, but was interested to hear first hand how anyone liked the PSI carb. Thanks for renewing this Tros! ;) Hoist! 8)

Yeah, I've been digging around a bit, lol.  BTW I saw your early FXST, nice.  8)  I've always wanted to stick a Panhead in one of those.

Hey Tros, the '86 FXST is Headpan's. He just restored that. Mine's the '85 FXWG. It's a 4-speed, swingarm, Evo. Rare combo! ;) Hoist! 8)

Wes told me he got the carb and was going to throw it on the dyno (that was a couple weeks ago). I haven't heard from him yet but will follow up.

I was recently informed that the TC is a direct bolt-in replacement for the Evo in the FXR and Evo FLHT frames as long as you retain the TC transmission.  Mounting points are in the same locations.  To retain your original swingarm, you must use a pre-2002 model year TC transmission.  If you are willing to update the swingarm, you can use any 2002-present FLH trans.

Can anyone confirm this? I am still trying to decide what to do with my '93 FXRS project.

  A Twincam is not a direct bolt-in replacement for an Evo in a stock factory FXR frame.  Chopper Guys offers FXR frames for Evo's and Twincam's that allow you to use most of your original FXR components.  They should be able to give you plenty of reasons why this won't work.

Wes is elbow deep in the Daytona frenzy and hasn't tested it yet, so no update there

Thanks Free. I'm really interested to see if it performs as claimed or if it's smoke and mirrors. Appreciate for the update! Hoist! 8)

May not be exactly what you mean but Jims is now making a 120 TC with Evo mounts.  It bolts right into any HD Evo frame.  Might make for an interesting upgrade, depending on your budget.  I don't know about transmission requirements but I would guess that a TC transmission would be compatible.
